This can has been kicked down the road to different owners enough times that Fandom bought it cheap.Oh, so the site will become just the game database, FAQS, release data, etc without the boards, okay.
They dont need or care about the boards. The traffic comes from the guides/walkthroughs and they sell ads now.
The boards will completely go away in the near future.

Funny because the ads here have politics and asses in themI never said the decision made sense, this is just my PR degree talking lol. Just what I assume happened.

Wouldn't that be a waste of money?If they kill gamefaqs they can funnel more people onto their terrible wikis

Aren't the ads just generic shit anyway?
You seeI bought the red car so I could disss-mantle it.

They want all the contributions, and hopefully they wont try to steal those like they did when Wikia contributors tried to take down their own contributions.Ah did that happen? That doesn't bode well.
This can has been kicked down the road to different owners enough times that Fandom bought it cheap.What traffic? The daily polls are getting like a few thousand votes. 10 years ago they were getting hundreds of thousands of votes, a decade before that it was millions.

I just got one that was a "find out if you are gay, lesbian or bisexual with this gay test"Exactly, its all clickbait garbage. As if they care about the sanctity of their brand being next to political posts on gamefacks.com
And I thought either we weren't adult enough for that kind of content or gamefaqs.gamespot.fuckfandom.com didn't want to engage in that kind of content.

They are planning on melding it with their other wiki for video games.Yeah I think they might. A lot of open questions there with the contributions here.
You seeI bought the red car so I could disss-mantle it.I'd say it's more like you bought a red car and dismantled the old bike that was shoved in the trunk.
think a lot of people are drastically overestimating how much thought goes into running this siteNah, being the admin is a fuck ton of work.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/520cd99a.jpgGonna press x here.
I read the admin site post and it just said they were going to make this board private and cracking down further on horny posting and purg/suspension evasion. This topic and adjacent topics were making me think they were shutting down all boards.That's a likely plan though
Which yeah, I guess could happen but not yet.
