here's a digest from just this past month:
Sept 17
Smash Bros Sakurai tweeted out a pic of Rodin from Bayonetta getting sprayed by water from Mario and this mirrors the cops hosing down black protestors during civil rights, which made many people very upset and reignited Smash Bros-related racial tensions
era thread
bore investigation
Sept 20
one of the big ones:
arguments and trolling were happening in the salesera thread, and the mods stepped in with their usual heavy-handedness and started handing out bans without knowing any context or who the trolls really were in this situation. sales master chris1964 was banned for 1 day, but since this guy is venerable and has been quietly doing sales stuff since like 2011 at gaf, this was seen as an insult of the highest order. they also banned a lot of longtime sales members. and cvxfreak was behaving very un-mod-like on discord, talking casually about bans and shutting people up. the community demanded the firing of cvxfreak from modship and development began on a new sales era splinter forum where chris could feel safe.
amongst this, a user was banned for quietly making an anti-nepenthe tweet on their benign nobody account
mods finally claim that they sorted things out and they figured out who the real troll was...except the hot tip they acted on came from a bad faith actor off-site who just wanted to stir up shit and eat popcorn (a minor footnote of the whole debacle which was never acknowledged on era)
then someone came in with receipts from discord showing Morrigan shitting all over the users, and combined with her history of islamophobia on gaf, people started calling for her removal. she resigned with both middle fingers held high but this has not stopped her from continuing to be a massive dick to everyone to this day.
era was like "well what the fuck, you ban a random nobody for a tweet sniping at someone on era, but you won't ban cvx or morrigan for discord sniping at someone on era?" and every mod was like "no no, that was different."
in light of all this, for some reason nintendoera decided they weren't safe anymore with all the mod abuse, and their discord gained 300 members that day. both nintendoera and salesera left and started their own splinter forums:

Sept 28
Tyler continues to decimate his already anemic gaf community by banning all forms of console warring and handing out bans like candy for the tiniest "I prefer sony over nintendo," filling up his ban page
bore post
Oct 3
Nintendo France tweets an image of solid snake crawling sexily toward zero suit samus, further heightening Smash-related tensions (even though this particular image has been part of standard marketing imagery for years and is still up on their website)
era thread
bore investigation
Oct 5
things finally come to a head as Super Smash Brothers final character Sora is announced, a total of about 100 fighters with not one single black character, causing general uproar

The Day of Infamy
Cerium sells resetera.com to MMO forum Swedes for 4.5 million dollars
lmao 20 pages of commentary on the bore alone, not to mention the rest of the internet
users appalled at the type of sites and anti-sjw commentary now apparently part of their network. with actiblizz's recent lawsuits there was a concerted effort to ban games like diablo and wow from era (lol), and users now theorize they weren't banned due to mods cooperating with the terms of this new acquisition.
re: money: resetera mods claim they actually like not being paid, users tell them to have some fucking self respect and dunk on them for days, with surprisingly few bans(?). nepenthe goes absolutely fucking mental and starts demanding tips from users, users who also generate all their content for free and just had all their data sold
also someone updates the Era Clear subscription service info to remove the line about supporting your community
The Benji Files:
benji researches MOBA Network
benji researches CEO's linkedin
benji suicides on neogaf to Evilore's face
benji extracts synergies
benji realizes that all of MOBA Network is dead
benji investigates WeBrokr
benji uncovers a self-congratulatory circlejerk
benji further investigates the WeBrokr connection
and somehow blame space has a redemption arc where he starts killing it:
