Current Events » 1 year ago today, Fandom closed off CE, banned political* and hornyposting, and
then shut down the religion and sexuality boards

*everywhere but CE

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/80747432

and then SBAllen made this 500 topic and never posted again after that day lol

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/656c2d88.png

If you want to relive CE's live reactions to the news, topic number is 80747433 (literally 1 more number than the announcement topic's number lol)

What's your thoughts now that the dust has settled and a year has passed?

Also, here's a metric on CE/site activity since then. This screen cap was taken the morning before the CE closure happened (the last day of normal CE basically >_>), with 59 pages of topics (at 20 topics per page).

Now it's 38 pages of topics (at 20 topics per page). So CE activity has decreased by 36% since 1 year

Should have diversified the poll options imo. Like "I like the closing but hate the hornyposting ban" or "I hate the closing but like the hornyposting ban" etc.

It has its pros and cons, but the cons definitely outweigh the pros. I appreciate the lack of one-note gimmick posters these days, and the infamous trolls having no way of coming back, but outside of that this place has lost a lot of its soul in the process.

Id take old CE back any day of the week, even if it means dealing with some of those dudes who are too horny for this world.

I agree. It feels like it lost a lot that day. CE was on the decline and this just zombified it to me

They said that about people in 4chan. Then more and more of that kept coming till they took over the site.

Exactly. People complaining about it never made sense to me.

I feel like part of the reason they did this was because they thought deleting the Politics board would just make political topics magically go away instead of scattering everyone to another board (aka here). So now CE, the social board, had to be a casualty to cover their fuck up. Instead of just leaving politics open and giving it the private treatment like they did here instead, which would make way more sense.

They also work against other kinds of offensive shit, but no one argues in favour of allowing them.

Was stupid, their first act of killing off popular hangouts did nothing to help the site.

Fandoms main site with all their overlayed video popups isnt a drive to use their site either.

The horny posting ban has been good for this board, as has closing off the board. I dont think they should have closed the other boards though.

He posted that topic 1 year ago and then never posted again. He still logs on once in a while, but afaik doesnt interact with the site

DToast took over admin duties in....2023 I think? I like DToast, but it seems like his superiors are the ones forcing this nonsense

Nah, he's too busy crying on Discord.....
There's enough attention whores on CE already
I mean, we can block and ignore Nazi propaganda but I prefer that people just arent allowed to post it. Seems fair to apply the same to blatant mysoginy.

it was actually a call, not just a text. and iirc i don't think anyone was ever able to determine who exactly it was, but given what was going on at the time, i am like 99% sure it was either him or one of his chudbuds

You are right. Didnt read the full OP you did say he hasnt been seen since the 500 topic. I guess he was only here because he was admin. You take that power away and he had no reason to be here anymore.
Hey now.
This place was doomed the moment they banned Black Man Ass.

I was happy with the 50 karma min. Completely closing it off seemed extreme.

I miss the religion board. It was easier to get into nuances about religion there.
