If they cared about traffic they wouldnt be doing everything to kill gamefaqs since purchaseThey almost certainly do care about site traffic. My guide for FFVII: Rebirth is getting cross-linked into FF Wikis or something like that. Probably the same for the Q&A I'm required to fill out as part of the game bounty too. I think Fandom willingly bringing back the bounty program, and not only that but developing entirely new tools to encourage flow to the site shows that they believe in GameFAQ's as a money-maker. If nothing else.
I kinda want everyone to move to random insanity or the poll of the day boards.... just to avoid the most boring parts of these forums.... politic talks >_>Loool I went to poll of the day a couple months ago... and my jaw dropped with how dead it was. Sure it was never as active as ce, more chill, but this wasn't chill this was straight tundra. The front page had posts from like 5 days ago, seems like the board was averaging 3 posts a day at best.
Give it five years and there will barely be any users here due to all of them getting banned or "mysteriously purged" as Fandom wants to get justification to kill the site.
Every user who has visited GameFAQs in the last year and who currently has access to the board will retain access to the board. No additional users will be allowed to view or post on the board going forward.
Just went to my "Tagged" list to check who I tagged is currently in purgatory / suspended.RIP Shallrunamok, Toonstrack and his alt, WTGHookshot, and Majin Nemesis, some silver linings to this shit. Some other dudes are also purged, but they never were here anyway.
That's... quite a list.
five years? Youre being very generous. At this pace I give it two years topsIt took about 10 years or so before LUE slowed to a crawl.

@DKBananaSlamma can you add a link to the feedback page for people to leave their feedback to fandom? Feels like this is very important.Done. That was my last edit btw lol

Does the "purged people are permabanned from CE" apply to people who are currently in purgatory.
If so, can name a couple people that just got yeeted from CE.
I mean, CE is at leasts till open, yall. It aint closingNo, but it will be a gradual decline as less people come around and more people's accounts get Purgatoried.

No, but it will be a gradual decline as less people come around and more people's accounts get Purgatoried.Eventually, but people getting Purg's isn't a bad thing.
Eventually, but people getting Purg's isn't a bad thing.Depends on what they get Purg'd for. Some have been entirely unjustified.
In fairness, the CE permaban for purg shouldn't take place until after everyone knew about the new rule. I'm sure a lot of people will do more thinking before posting now.I mostly agree with that. I mean on one hand there are some people (Israel shills, blatant transphobes, etc) who just need to be gone, but people who just eg posted a meme that pushed the limits at the wrong time should get another chance.
Does LUE still exist? Do people still go there?
Does LUE still exist? Do people still go there?Yeah, but it's pretty dead
That losing access after getting a purg thing is going to kill this board soon enough. I can only imagine how boring and lame the boards will become after CE loses most of "those" people that it might actually be better if GameFAQs actually killed the board instead >_> It's going to be the same group of people discussing random stuff where they all unanimously agree with each other in a "respectable" way (aka boring)
I mean, CE is at least still open, yall. It aint closingGive it a year or two and it'll be effectively dead. RIP to the most active board on GameFAQs.

It took about 10 years or so before LUE slowed to a crawl.But did they have the same restrictions? Like if a user got purg'd and came back, could they return to LUE afterwards or was it completely cut off?
Depends on what they get Purg'd for. Some have been entirely unjustified.Yeah, I have definitely been put in purg for dumb shit lol.
But did they have the same restrictions? Like if a user got purg'd and came back, could they return to LUE afterwards or was it completely cut off?You had to specifically register and there was a limited window to do so, unlike CE where the invite is automatic; but a purg doesn't affect access.
