Me too.

Has to be at most 1,200 since that is where the max total users using board is around.

They sound make a movie together.

Most people on PotD would generally prefer that didn't happen.

Maybe I should have elaborated more. I meant those two boards becoming more active. By becoming the new CE I meant being the most active social boards on site to replace the one that went private. Like when LUE went private another public board had to be one that got the traffic of those locked out of LUE.

Wait CE is private?

Yep. Surprised there wasn't a Sticky on this.

Anyone else disappointed this took until 2024 for the change to take place with the hornyposting if it is to protect users and be inclusive. They could have done this 10 or 20 years ago when there might have been a bigger userbase. There was also that statement on transphobia where was that last year during the Hogwarts Legacy release. I saw a couple users close their account over the types of topics/posts getting made.

Board is private and topics still purge but apparently that site still is able to save and archive the threads on here.

I dont understand the issue with "hornyposting". What even counts as that?
Porn has always been banned, which is fair enough. Does waifu fan art count as horny posting? What if I posted official art of certain fire emblem or final fantasy characters?

It is probably the type of topics Vegy and NeonOctopus made. Using terms like Mommy Milkers, sloppers, Titty Miester.

The only thing I am not sure on is the extent of it taking place on the game boards since I haven't been on those in like 10 years. Last time I was on game board was the Pokemon one and people were making which Pokemon would you fuck topics. Gardevoir was the constant #1.

I prefer not to use chat or reddit-like site if I can help it. Any alternative board/forum? RI seems...empty

Most forums are dying. Reddit kinda took over and due to the variety kinda made other forums obsolete. I used to post on a Chess forum and that died. r/Chess is where the largest discussion of Chess is on internet now. So it is join Reddit or post on empty/limited traffic forums.

Hornyposting is literally 100% love.

Maybe too much love >_> but still love

Agreed. This probably means the kinda of topics Vegy and NeonOctopus made are pretty much banned. Last I heard that user NihonOctupus went away so NeonOctopus might be gone for good end of an era.

Wonder what will be the next thing that gets removed or changed. They took out the politics board, SBAllen, and now CE is private.

Can't have trolls, politics and horny posting if there are no users

Strategy checks out

I went to Random Insanity and that board has a topic that got started in 2019. I knew they had less users/posts than here. Just didn't realize the drop off was that they'd have a thread from 5 years ago still active.

I'm not sure if people have admit this yet but people are probably going to change posting habits to not risk getting kicked off CE. Like if a topic is possibly controversial just not post it at all.

Honestly posting on CE just feels weird now. Before it was a revolving door of different people coming and going, now its an exclusive club of specific people that I didnt want to join.

Yea. I had hope that Fandom could turn it around and bring back the growth of new users. But making this board private pretty much guarantees the number of people can only go down. Growth is dead. You have to hope something like Random Insanity or POTD becomes the new CE but they have even less users than CE. So you would be going to a less active board.

There is a lot of missing info. Do you have enough karma? Or were you posting it on the wrong sub?

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/4e670402.png

That is the lowest I have seen so far. It usually in the 700-800 range this time of day.

Posts on ce have always purged

I will edit post to align with the title. It was about the archive no longer archiving.

I just searched and looks like even though CE private it still archives lol.

Once CE topics/posts purge they are gone for good now.

Crimson_Corsair posted...

Oh, did we get our first casualty already?

No someone else was the casualty but they were a post so people moved on and didn't bring attention to it.

SiO4 posted...

Or that's what they are saying.
It is odd to get only this far into the season and realize that.

Either way god speed to him.
I really did like his cooky calls.

Yea. A lot of people have tried to keep cancer or being on their death bed a secret over this last 12 months. Only one that got outed against will was Tim Wakefield.

what was the name of the thread? looks like its gone now

It is still up it has 502 posts

Is he dying? Not as an is he dead or just career joke. But retiring immediately from an announcing career sounds like a health issue is causing the abrupt end.

edit: I searched and got the answer

She is attractive to me.

End of an era. No more Mommy Milkers, sloppers, etc type of threads. They now join Black Man Ass in the graveyard of things that are no longer allowed.

I don't think GameFAQs would make a change due to one person being transphobic. I think it was something other sites were doing so they added it here. Not as much customization as Reddit though.

Once this topic is locked CE is truly dead

This is How CE Dies....To Thunderous Applause

This seems like as good of a way as any to send off CE.
Godspeed

I think if CJayC posted in the thread that would be a fitting end. Only issue is if he hasn't visited CE in a year even he would be locked out.

Im waiting for the SBAllen and CJayC team up to take back the site.

Irony posted...

He's literally still posting in that topic he locked it himself

Any mod can post in a topic once it is closed.

I am scared for what the future holds.

KookyCouture posted...

hornyposting, there's a sex & sexuality board so surely it it's allowed there

I thought point of rule change was to be consistent with rules so hornyposting is probably banned on the entire site.

Aren't they going to become the new CE?

CyborgSage00x0 posted...

You know CE isn't shutting down, right?

Growth is dead now that no one new can join.

I just realized the context of this thread had been due to Fandom rule change. Damn CE/GameFAQs might have a mass exodus soon.

You can just go to Reddit now. They probably have a sub for whatever niche you have.

TimeForAction posted...

as of right now

Yea remember when it was just the politics board being deleted and people were like I don't go there it doesn't effect me. Looks like that was just the start.

I haven't made a Trump/Biden related topic on this forum in a long time. So this doesnt really effect me either it just makes me wonder what will be the next thing removed.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Well hopefully it works out for this sites growth limiting an entire discussion topic to a private board.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/80747423

Glad they finally spoke. There was a lot of it going on around the Hogwarts Legacy release which was in Feb 2023 over a year ago causing some users to close their accounts. Maybe worse things happened if Fandom had to include the suicide hotline.

On places outside of CE.

Not every one will have access to CE after a while. Sure it is great if you are on CE and have access if you don't you are screwed.

RIP in an election year too.

Never mind I found it

fandom into reversing their recent decision.

And what is that decision?

I went to another topic and OP there was vague giving no info on it is why I have to ask
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80747610

blood was everywhere
put up your dukes

Can you give a background? I had no idea Cyric has an ongoing fight with Fandom. What happened?

GeminiDeus posted...

One poll topic I made a couple months ago got over 151 responses, so there's at least that many I'm aware of.

Was it 1 IP per vote?

I really think the slap was overblown. It was a shitty thing to do, but in no way do I think it should be career ending nor will I base my opinion of him on it.

I thought so too. He slapped a dude. If it were a woman he slapped after making that joke then yea that would be a career ender. To be seen as someone who hits women.

Good for him guess there was a memory-eraser device on the Oscars slap. Hasn't effected his career at all.

Oh I thought this topic was going to be about how the race was even close. But it was a general attack on Oz.

I knew he was a grifter just didn't realize GOP could run someone like that and get 46% of vote. Imagine if they had run someone slightly more competent.

More than a minute of extra game time was added to the clock in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 123-120 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, an NBA spokesperson confirmed to ESPN. "We have confirmed that the game clock was inaccurately set in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers-Memphis Grizzlies game last night at FedEx Forum," league spokesperson Tim Frank said in a statement Saturday. "After a shot clock violation, the clock was set at 2:20 when it should have been at 1:14. The error was not noticed in real time by the teams, the referees, the game clock operator or the stats crew. While unfortunate, the effort was not identified in time to resolve the situation in-game."
