It was rare but occasionally we would get new users coming here joining the community who weren't just troll alts, that's not going to happen any more.I can't think of the last time this has happened in the last few years. It's all alts, man.

the topic and post quality in general have increased

I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry.
What would you know about post quality?A lot, actually.
Its only been one day and 99.99% of the board has been unanimous in trashing Fandom.
Anyway, isn't it the rule that anybody who's been on the site any time in the past year can still come here? So people who use gfaqs but not CE can still come here?
are mods really enforcing the "no criticizing the staff or gamefaqs policies" rule?
who knew that threatening everyone with a perma ban would do wonders for the quality of posting. you will lose access to CE if you don't post the most inoffensive messages ever! are mods really enforcing the "no criticizing the staff or gamefaqs policies" rule?https://giphy.com/gifs/Thp40xHWSf0PTPu24D
so a mod can be as rude as TOU friendly possible and we can't do anything about it? Like a mod can come during my lunch break and say "Anime is trash" and I would be too helpless to do anything?
I was saying that in the short term it would be beneficial for here, my concern is more long term it is a death sentence for CE.Gamefaqs itself might get new users, but not current events. For example, a friend of mine recently got into video games few months back and started visiting gamefaqs for the guides of old games and specific game boards, but there is no way in hell he'll ever peruse social boards and subsequently CE.

In the short term though? This is a very beneficial change.

So the 5% chance of a new user stumbling upon ce is almost nonexistent. I was on gamefaqs 2 years before I was told about CE, definitely would not have looked for it on my own. So in the modern age, ain't no one gonna be visiting this place least of all the new gens

It's not necessarily new users that I'm concerned about, though we had a few colorful ones in recent history. There are old users that occasionally revisit and now they won't be able to.
Balrog0 for example, should he decide to return to say hi, will not be able to post here.
I just came to CE last year even though Ive been on gamefaqs 20 years. Its super rare but Im sure Im not the only one.This is pretty much my story.
I have primarily always hung out on the main system boards and talked about games. But traffic had slowed down so much even the main system boards didnt move much so I wanted a more active board so I started visiting here.
