INTERWEBUSER right?Nah, I think INTERWEBUSER/iGenesis and Jacob are different people. At least, that's what people told me.
I forget his real name. Jacob Curnow or something like that
Does this place allow nsfw stuff?It does, as long as it's appropriate. IE: no minors, no celebrity deep fakes, etc
INTERWEBUSER right?Yeah INTERWEBUSER. Guy outed himself as Curnow by linking to his podcast and stream not to mention regurgitated all his talking points.

Thread Zone doesn't run on 2004 GameFAQs code. Tiko coded his own thing and styled it off of what GameFAQs used to be like, I believeYeah, I believe it's original code styled to capture the classic GameFAQs(/LUElinks) experience. maybe I'm wrong, but it's infinitely smoother and more functional than "20 year old code" would imply.
As others have said to STEROLIZER, the mass shooting plot came from Random Insanity, not CE. I know STERO has a hate-boner for this board, but he shouldn't spread fake news to push his narrative.It didn't "come from RI" so much as the person who planned it posted there at one time in the past
It didn't "come from RI" so much as the person who planned it posted there at one time in the pastRight.
It also shows if a post has been quoted, how many times is been quoted, and the quoted post can be clicked on to navigate between the two.Gamefaqs used to have up to 5 quote boxes back in the day. idk why they got rid of it and cut it down to only 1
Would have made it a lot faster and more convenient to see if anyone else had already answered your question.

I didnt think it was funny personally speaking, it was downright disturbingThat incident where he was arrested went beyond lolcow and into disturbing af territory. The lolcow stuff was mainly his bragging about being ranked No. 1 on the Injustice leaderboard and his failed bid for Congress.
Thread Zone doesn't run on 2004 GameFAQs code. Tiko coded his own thing and styled it off of what GameFAQs used to be like, I believeI cloned gamefaqs also back in 2005. I still have my source code- very outdated though
Right.The difference being the church thing was literally a topic here. Saying it was related to RI is like all those people blaming video games for violence when it was just a fact of their background they liked video games.

I'm more curious why this is happening now though and if it being a election year has anything to do with it perhaps.
I still feel the end game for this site is shutting the boards completelyThis writing is absolutely on the walls and that's why I'm stressing so hard that everyone should have a backup plan
This writing is absolutely on the walls and that's why I'm stressing so hard that everyone should have a backup planI mean reddit would be the best bet, 99.99% uptime without having to deal with administrating the server
That incident where he was arrested went beyond lolcow and into disturbing af territory. The lolcow stuff was mainly his bragging about being ranked No. 1 on the Injustice leaderboard and his failed bid for Congress.It didnt take me long to see how he posted that he was mentally disturbed, stalking users on here, talking about reporting people to the FBI, reporting the website, in between bragging about being a fighting game world
The difference being the church thing was literally a topic here. Saying it was related to RI is like all those people blaming video games for violence when it was just a fact of their background they liked video games.I know. Still, the bottom line was that that particular user was still trying to pin the incident on CE or a regular from CE, when that was demonstratively false.
This writing is absolutely on the walls and that's why I'm stressing so hard that everyone should have a backup planIf they close the boards here, then I'll probably just move on from this site entirely. I don't even use the guides here, because most of the newer games I play don't even get them anymore, or it's just easier to get the information elsewhere.
I mean reddit would be the best bet, 99.99% uptime without having to deal with administrating the serverReddit has a horrible design imo. It's not good for discussion threads like this is and it encourages groupthink by propelling popular posts to the top of any topic.

wtf he beat up his own mother? Jesus
I mean reddit would be the best bet, 99.99% uptime without having to deal with administrating the serverReddit isn't designed to support multiple simultaneous chronologically-organized discussions. It's a system of promotion and suppression by design, and its threads devolve into mazes of reply chains that are impossible to keep up with for any in-depth discussion.
It didnt take me long to see how he posted that he was mentally disturbed, stalking users on here, talking about reporting people to the FBI, reporting the website, in between bragging about being a fighting game worldHonestly, Im not really sure I could ever use the term lolcow unironically anymore. Ever since the Keffels drama Ive pretty much put the kiwifarms behind me for good. I only ever lurked there. Never participated in the harassment campaigns that they did.
champion and writing some martial arts bible that didnt actually have anything to do with martial arts
He seemed to have some serious paranoid delusions or psychosis
Speaking of psychos, whatever happened to xsquader? Is he still in jail?
How do I get an invite to Thread Zone?
If it's anything like when LUE was closed you have another 20 years of slowly dwindling activity to look forward to, at least.in another world, perhaps
How do I get an invite to Thread Zone?Im not sure. When I signed up yesterday, I just got right in but I think they may have started vetting now.
Im not sure. When I signed up yesterday, I just got right in but I think they may have started vetting now.afaik the invite link should still be working https://ce.thread.zone/user/new?key=refugee
@Sneasel Can people just go right in or do they need to be verified or something?
in another world, perhaps
i really do not see the GameFAQs boards in their entirety lasting more than a few more years at absolute most
afaik the invite link should still be working https://ce.thread.zone/user/new?key=refugeeIt worked. Im in. Thanks!
Ok, LUE was before my time on the community boards, whats the story there?Back in the day (early 2000s) LUE was basically a prototype-/b/ and did a bunch of edgy shit. It came to a head when they trolled a LiveJournal of some girl that killed herself. So the admin at the time basically gave LUE a heads up that they're closing the board and to sign up if you want to stay in.

I assume it means that if you get purged AFTER the new decision that you are gone?
CE's situation is different. They closed it abruptly, the userbase is way lower, and they just closed it off cuz of general politics and hornyposting. And if you're purg'd once you're out, unlike LUE which let you come back if you purg'd afaik
That definitely seems pretty strict. I assume it means that if you get purged AFTER the new decision that you are gone?No one knows if currently purg'd accounts can come back to CE or not. The announcement seems to imply that they dont
First I am hearing about something called Thread Zone. What is it?It was created by the owner of the current iteration of LUElinks. Style-wise, it's basically classic GameFAQs with countless modern QoL updates (live topic updates, notifications, post reactions, topic tags, ability to easily see a post's replies). It was originally made as a pet project/backup/"see where this goes" sort of thing that never really took off in any big way, but there's been a zone set up specifically for CE to move into, should you all desire to.
That definitely seems pretty strict.
