And you are charged with increasing the site's traffic and its userbase. They want the average active users to be 10000 by the end of 2025. If you succeed they'll give you a huge bonus. What are the steps you take to reach this goal?

Allow porn. Lots of streaming porn.

Especially the kinky stuff like bondage.

After all, porn sites get shit-tons of traffic.

Unironically by leaning into GameFAQS being a late 90s/early 00s relic and taking advantage of curreny-day Y2K nostalgia and Zoomer's fascination with the "old" internet. Get GameFAQS as a brand known in the social media landscape by having official accounts by playfully leaning into the fact that it's a site that time passed by.

Turn GameFAQS' social media presence into a character itself, kind of like what Wendy's did on Twitter.
Thanks for reading!

that's fine I'm sure there are more than 10000 non-minors online

the best option is obviously porn. the second best option is probably some sort of piracy site. the best option that still keeps gfaqs as mostly what it currently is is probably something like this

Step 1, reopen CE.
Step 2, unban blackmanass.
Step 3, shadow unban Tails and co. No one else will actually see their posts, but theyll think theyre back on the site and thus create ad impressions.

Step 4, Implement AI accounts that will reply to Tails etc's posts so that they think they're engaging with actual users.

I touched on it during the September state of the site. It's actually one of the better cross-linking experiments that we've run this year and hopefully can continue in a bigger scope.
