The overall news of CE changes seriously bummed me out today.
THANK YOUR FATHER KIDS!
Gamefaqs is basically a dead websight walking now. Time to move the game guides elsewhere.

Me too. I know it's just a dumb internet forum, but it's been a decent part of my life for a long time. I don't think it'll die for a while, but this is definitely the beginning of the end and that's just sad.

I asked this in the feedback topic, but I don't expect to get an answer: why not just ban politics outside of this board? Why ban them outside this board and privatize it?

Shit, I just woke up and saw this. Yeah, this is one of the final nails in the coffin for GameFAQs boards. It's not as if this site was thriving before this decision with dwindling visitors though.

Where does everyone go these days? Discord or something? I tried a while back but I just wasn't feeling it.

No one really made a unanimous decision yet. I'm down to go to RI since they officially won the RICE war now >_>

I just checked RI and saw a front page topic that started in 2019 <_<

I knew it was less active than this board but got damn.

Seriously, who thought this is a good idea and who approved it?

Does the opinions of CE regulars not account for anything?

Guess I won't be posting on the movie board anymore, don't want to be purged for supposedly spoiling a movie despite the character showing up in the trailer again like I was for Spider-Man:No Way Home.

So the upshot of it being a private board is that anyone who gets banned can no longer make a new alt, because no new members will be allowed to join

This is why they should've just kept the Politics board.

That is probably the best place to go now
Like how the feedback topic was made while not actually taking said feedback into consideration and the mod who made the topic dipped out and hasn't said shit since then.

It sucks to think this site could end up closing permanently, I've spent a lot of time on CE.

I wonder how much of this site's traffic is even from the guides. I know I haven't looked at one in like 10 years. It's easier to just go onto Youtube, specifically search for what I need help with and move on.

GameFAQs probably won't close in the near future, but it becoming a zombie Fandom site is very likely.

My guess is that all social boards will eventually be closed, probably around the time of the 2024 US election.

I don't see them closing video game boards soon but they might eventually just say screw it and close all boards and leave GameFAQs a carcass with the lowest maintenance possible in hopes of getting ad revenue for people using the site for old game guides (since no one will be making new guides since they completely killed the community)

Yea, I wouldve guessed CE and 261 were a significant amount of site traffic but who knows

I wonder how it compared to the IMDB message board shut down. I remember that being surprising at the time. But I'm also not familiar with how things were going on the lead up to it.

Difference is I'm sure plenty of people still used that site outside of message boards. Can't imagine GameFAQs is a big resource for anything recent these days.

So according to the admin post, is this board now the current politics board or nah? I read a couple paragraphs, but I didn't finish the entire post.

Dev (or Devin Morgan) has been around forever. Zoopsoul is a few years on but he just does coding and shit iirc.

Imagine being Fandom's Director of Trust and Safety and having the GameFAQs file sent to your email. Probably wants it closed down immediately.

Zooper has been around since 2002. It's only been within in the last several years or so that Zooper has admin duties (contributions primarily).

Once you make a board private, it will eventually die. It happened to LUE. That place was even more active than CE, when CE was at its peak.

It lasted like a decade and a half though..

Yeah people ovelook just how ppular traditional forums were back in the mid-2000s. The only competition was blogging sites and very early social media like MySpace. LUE had the same activity you'd see on big subreddits nowadays. Yet the lock still hobbled it over time.

Modern CE definitely had no more than few hundred frequent users to begin with and now the count's just gonna drop, between boycotts/migrations, purgs, and natural loss of interest (the site has an aging userbase in general).

yeah that "feedback" thread is just adding insult to injury. nobody from Fandom is reading that shit. it's just for the affected users of this community to shout their frustrations into the void. fucking ridiculous.
It don't matter. None of this matters.
