Why are so many of these their threads hidden now? They must know no one takes them seriously.

When they first announced Era it was like 'OK' but then they announced their moderator choices and it was a whose who of stunt casting of the worst reprobates from GAF, and it was a case of 'Nope'. The fact that they turned it into a Jonestown Hivemind hellbent on purging itself of non-believers and the unpure right from the off is hilarious. Currently, they show as having 60K members or thereabouts. Then look at the assigned number of the latest member 165735. The thing with Xenforo Forum software is, that banned and deleted members don't disappear from the database, they just no longer show in the member account. Also given you can't even register for an account using a free email, and likely have to run the gauntlet of moderation investigation/manual approval the actual number of spam signups they get is likely minimal at best, so for the most part, they've banned/driven off somewhere in the region of 100K users over 6+ Years. On top of which given 60K members, they rarely if ever aside from when a big gaming event is happening breach 10% active online (right now there is a whopping 1.2K online or 2%), which suggests that a lot of the members are either intermittent or wholly inactive. I suspect for the most part that for the dedicated it's a bit of a boiling frog situation in that they're not aware of the steady diminishment of the site, and despite everything and the lunacy, it does a lot of web traffic though I suspect that largely comes down to people like ourselves rubbernecking at the sorry state of things versus going there for news.

You should visit NeoGAF for shits and giggles. The gaming section is pretty good these days. Most posts are actually about something, people have debates, share screenshots, tips etc. . It's not all Yikes, oof and trans lesbians complaining about Asian art.
As much as I love this place, the gaming section is dead

I wonder how many who are left/liberal do not feel welcome in the era/twitter/r-gamingcirclejerk "left"/"progressive" circles. We all know when you doubt them or dont blanket agree with them, you are labelled a nazi. So many black/poc nazi's running around.

Two other sites have already come out of GAF post-2021 D-Pad and Icon-Era because of its failed leadership and broken moderation, yet even now GAF is still banning people for BS reasons. Believe Xbox might be an OK System? Get fucked to perm Shill. Not sure about wholeheartedly supporting Ukraine? Get fucked to perm Propagandist. Think Israel might be going a tad too far in Gaza? Get fucked to perm Antisemite. Doesn't matter who you are, how long you've been on the site, and whatever your contributions are, when it comes to the site, you will get zeroed without a moment hesitation if you say anything that irks The Elf.
