Fandom Media Highlights
The first quarterly blog is officially in the works! Weve gathered a strong mix of UGC from across Fandom Media, and its shaping up to be a great showcase. Expect it to drop soon.
What are the point of these, if they are just repeats of months prior, with nothing really changing?Because even "no updates" are still updates.
the fuckNo one, at least that you'd think of, lol. The hope is to show the sites/functions to other people who don't really know what the site is about, but with proper information, could be a part of it.
who wants this
i was promised a throne as the king of this with turbam being my righthand but seems i was lied to...for shameMy bad
Because even "no updates" are still updates.
Yes, but announcing no updates for several months because redundant.Yeah, but I think that's where we would disagree, which is okay. As is often the case, you're completely right that there are no grand or substantial updates. But sometimes when you're pushing a rock up a hill, you're actually making progress, it just doesn't feel like it, or can always be shown till it's completed. I tried to give a glimpse into the day-to-day because that's where most work takes place, but people most don't want or need to hear about the day-to-day.
It's always clinical, corporate non-speak. I'm getting it from the company I work at, too. It's tiresome that we're being fed words that amounts to nothing more than padding a speech out (or in this case, a post). There's nothing much there that's actionable, or to chew on. It doesn't do much to get us to ponder, nor make us feel at ease with the direction of the site.Nothing I can do about that(at least to a degree that would probably fix it wholesale), sadly, but thank you for your feedback. I'd disagree that there is nothing to chew on or act on, but I feel you especially when it's presented in a certain way.
I just don't get it. I'd feel better nothing was said at all, honestly.
honestly you should get to nine-nine already that show is great and rip andre braugher you were fantastic as captain holtI meant that I finished B99; it was great. The casting, the writing, and all that. Kind of made us sad when we did reach the end. I think we binged the entire series within a couple of weeks. On an unrelated related note, I can't stand using Peacock.
also seeing how bored fandom might be of this site means we still can make it past 2026 and keep our forum open still yet
Im confused by DTosts answer to the question that was included in the update. Are there any big changes coming or is that not a thing anymore?The goals are what's currently committed to; everything else is behind the scenes, where most of the work happens. GameFAQs, generally speaking, doesn't actually want big changes. They want to see that things are done when someone says they're going to be done. Which is why I often try not to jump the gun before things are actually set in stone.
I get that he wears a lot of hats and has limited time and cant do everything immediately but he didnt really respond to what I took away as the heart of the question. Are there still big changes planned?
No one, at least that you'd think of, lol. The hope is to show the sites/functions to other people who don't really know what the site is about, but with proper information, could be a part of it.
this would be helped by if the message board announcements board was actually findable on the board listsYou can't comment on message board announcements. Best you can do is the AMA on Team Gamefaqs
GameFAQs, generally speaking, doesn't actually want big changes.Yes we do, the problem is that the changes we want don't seem to be the changes that Fandom wants.
On an unrelated related note, I can't stand using Peacock.your not alone on that
this would be helped by if the message board announcements board was actually findable on the board listsThis. I don't think there's actually any way to navigate to Announcements on the site itself, I always have to use an external search engine to find it.
You can't comment on message board announcements. Best you can do is the AMA on Team Gamefaqs
reread what i wrote but slower, because i never said anything about commenting
i said, quite clearly, that the announcement board was not findable on the board list. it's not actually findable on this website at all.
While this is always a great topic for uh venting purposes lol.one step of becoming a true CEmen so 97 steps left till then
I dunno, it feels like months of "no updates" just feels like there's no work being done whatsoever.Still didn't ping me I see lol. Luckily, I'm still waiting for the next meeting here and reviewing UGC. No, I think something is getting lost in translation with that, but I'll try my best one more time on this specific subject. One thing is that it's a different process, requirements, and prioritization when it becomes in-house. As I spoke on before, I had the votes from users(thank you!) and certain insights. That doesn't mean it's an open-and-shut case. Now, at the time when I was told no, we aren't moving forward with it; they said it's something I should revisit in Q4, which I'll do. But until I say otherwise, the situation is that it isn't being worked on at this time.
I keep beating on the drum of Bluesky embedding, and how the latest update was "our team of Fandom engineers can't figure it out", but a user on these boards had an embed script up and running within ONE DAY.
It feels less like they "couldn't figure it out" and more like they never even made an attempt in the first place.
That's not true.
well we have learned is that i am just selectively blind then because it's even in my screenshotlmao I guess maybe you were looking for Message Board Announcements which I don't think actually exists.

character battlesI feel like this is something I'm unaware of, so any additional context here(ping me if so), in a PM, or in the other area would be great.
I feel like this is something I'm unaware of, so any additional context here(ping me if so), in a PM, or in the other area would be great.basically a voting of most popular characters where everyone on this site can vote. think of the poll of the day but with popular characters from games
basically a voting of most popular characters where everyone on this site can vote. think of the poll of the day but with popular characters from gamesOnly game characters or any character from any universe? Did it have a board?
Only game characters or any character from any universe? Did it have a board?no it didn't have a board and any game character can be nominated which some of us did with L block from tetris
no it didn't have a board and any game character can be nominated which some of us did with L block from tetrisGood to know, thanks! I'll ask at the next team meeting to see about how that was set up in the backend, etc.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/features/cb9_bracketI think the prizes used to be gift cards
That was a sample of an old one. Was a big contest thing they did every year. Think people got their own private board as a prize or something. If they predicted good enough.
It was always link from Zelda as a winner for like 10 years
and used to be a thing that brought a LOT of traffic to the site.most to troll like game of the year too which had fun meltdowns when the fans see their fav lose. my fav moment is still L block winning which was the funniest imo yp LoL darven was equally funny too
I feel like this is something I'm unaware of, so any additional context here(ping me if so), in a PM, or in the other area would be great.I sent a PM with details. Let me know if you have any more questions.
That stretches way back to 2007.30 years in almost a month! Yeah, most of the time the code can still exist, but sometimes it needs to be rewritten or messed with to make it work again. Some of these old lead mod abilities, for example.
Might not be feasible now depending on how different the infrastructure is today.
They were held in place of the Poll of the Day, and used to be a thing that brought a LOT of traffic to the site.Thanks! Reminds me to find that user who usually runs the Steam sale topic, I thought we'd have one again, and wanted to support it. But it must be for the summer/winter events only.
I got nostalgic for them a few years ago and started running similar tournaments here on CE for the users. Got through Simpsons, Final Fantasy, Dragon Ball, and a huge Pokemon one that took nearly a full year to complete.

It was always link from Zelda as a winner for like 10 years
The usual suspects would reach the finals and win. The final round always ended up being Link vs Cloud.
Probably why it was ultimately shelved.I don't think so. The last 5 or so always had surprise dark horse winners. L Block, Draven, Sans, the era of "it was always link and cloud" ended a lot earlier than people think. And tbh, I highly doubt it would still be the case now.
The usual suspects would reach the finals and win. The final round always ended up being Link vs Cloud.
Might be why L-Block won that one time. As a protest over the competition always being predictable in the end.
Not sure how you can combat that. Though enough time might have past that there's a new group of people who aren't so tied to those usual suspects.
If anything, I think it was shelved because the Sans victory caused a ton of infighting between GFAQS and Redditor invaders
