It makes sense to me. Corporate overlords have 'reason' to close boards related to Religion, Sexuality, etc. Who knows what drama might be brewing in those dens of inequity? People might be expressing opinions!

B8 being contest-themed is actually helpful in this regard. That theme is too boring to worry about.
This board is ostensibly about game contests and game character contests. So we've looped around to being more topical than social boards like RI, which from Fandom's point of view serve no purpose to exist if they're more than 1 degree separated from video games.

If you wish to discuss Saudi Arabia's views regarding the LGBT community, you will need to use a general social board.

Did they not just say earlier in the topic that discussing a country's views on gender is considered a political topic? So therefore it would be banned everywhere except CE? But they're telling the user to post it on a regular board?

My favorite part of the whole thing was everytime someone brought up all the other non gaming boards the response was "well if you think another board should be shutdown we'll make sure to bring it up for review".

First they came for the graphing calculator board, and I did not speak out because I don't own a graphing calculator.

know the difference between a complete ban and the allowance of it on CE? zero. absolute zero difference between that one board, a board people actively refuse to go to, and everywhere else.
Gotta love confining it to a single board while ALSO restricting that board at the same time. Really giving people all the options to post where they want.

I don't get why they even care. How do you inherit something so old (which you didn't even ask for and it just came bundled with the thing that you actually wanted to buy) and your first thought isn't "do the bare minimum required to keep it alive but otherwise don't bother with it"? They don't want to actually do anything new with GameFAQs, this is pointless.

I wanna give a shout out to Luigi's Mansion as well. The particle effects and lighting in that game are something else. Probably not the winner here but very impressive for a launch game.
The fun thing about LM is that everything in the game was specifically designed to show off the console's new features.

For your consideration:

F-Zero X - True 60 fps gameplay on a console known for most games running at <30 (and as a fast paced racing game it actually needs all those frames)
Pokemon Stadium 2 - All of the Transfer Pak stuff plus some of the top of the line graphics and animations on the console. Also had mobile connection support on the JP version ("online" before wifi). Oh and also consider how much full voice acting the game has (the narrator has at least several hundred if not thousands of unique lines).
Donkey Kong 64 - Don't forget that many of the reasons why people trash this game are a direct result of the devs trying to push the specs to their limit (past it, really). Really just trying to make it as technically impressive as possible to the point where you could argue that they should have delayed it for the GameCube instead.

Not that Ekans was ever a wildly popular Pokemon in gen 1, but Shroomish topping Ekans might be the most surprised I've been by a result to date.
This is funny because these are the two Pokemon who were both seen in pre-release footage of their respective Snap games but were not included in the final release.

But Shroomish was added to the game later and Ekans wasn't.
