When did the URL change? Was it under CNet?

The last time the URL changed was back in 2018.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/76289961

I'm not going to archive any game boards.

Watch out for any changes in the design of the packaging for any products you regularly buy, because that kind of change usually happens at the same time the package gets shrunk in size.

What was their full screen name?

Gavirulax?

That's his most well known username, but it's not the username of his first account on GameFAQs. Gavirulax was the name which he would earn his KoS on.

We have these posts from 2 different mods confirming the new rules were introduced without any prior warning from Fandom beforehand:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80749420/979964097

These rules are new to the moderation team just as they are to everyone else. Which means moderations are not going to be perfect at first. Disputing them, is important because it gets the moderation in front of more moderator eyes to catch where mistakes were made so we can collectively be better at enforcing the rules which, will help everyone have a better idea of what it allowed. Because I agree, right now it feels a bit chaotic.

We have asked that clearer guidelines be published, both for userbase reference as well as ours. I don't know when that's coming. I tried to provide a generalized guideline in a previous topic which basically amounted to don't objectify individuals. I think there is a level of moderator discretion that will come into play, and I wouldn't expect a detailed breakdown of each and every possible infraction. It will be a learning curve for us all and direction has been given to provide some leniency as this is navigated.

SBAllen's incompetence is what got us sold to fandom in the first place so it all goes back to him really.

The decision to sell GameFAQs and the other sites to Fandom would have been made by the upper level management at Red Ventures. SBAllen wouldn't have any power to prevent GameFAQs from being included in the deal with Fandom.

Conversely, is "hornyposting" only banning horny posts and not topics of a "horny" nature? Is "Babe Brawl" hornyposting?

I think "hornyposting" is referring to topics such as this one that was closed:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80443762

Topics that focus on real people instead of anime girls would be similarly affected by this.

also not all glasses you get on Amazon are that safe. Even if the lenses themselves are NASA certified the glasses should look more like goggles or else you'll be blinded from the sides.

Yep, Amazon had this problem in the lead-up to the 2017 eclipse where poor regulatory oversight over the products being sold on their site allowed for eclipse sunglasses to be sold that did not offer sufficient protection for sun viewing (or worse, absolutely no protection at all). I do hope Amazon took this matter much more seriously for the 2024 eclipse.

It must suck for the people who have to drive while the eclipse is in progress and their reason for driving is unrelated to the eclipse. Such as driving to work or coming home from work. Those people might accidentally catch a glimpse of the sun with unprotected eyes if the sun happened to enter their field of view while driving. I'm not sure if this hypothetical scenario would run the risk of causing eye damage to someone's eyes if the exposure to the sun was very brief. Eclipse sunglasses can't be worn while driving for eye protection against possibly getting an accidental glimpse of the sun.

it wasn't even considered the hardest level from that specific creator - they had an even more ridiculous one that got cleared earlier because it was seen as such

Yep, the even harder level was called Bombs5 and it was a level that gave the creator a hand injury (while trying to clear check) that wouldn't heal properly even with extended rest.

Besides that, a different creator known as "ChainChompBraden" made a level known as "Trials of Death" that he started building back in 2015 and spent almost 7 years trying to clear check. By the time he clear checked his level in 2022, Nintendo had already shut down the servers for new level uploads back in 2021. So he never got to upload Trials of Death to the game legitimately, only as a dev exit version.

Another player known as JCTheChamp had rebuilt the entire Trials of Death level in the level editor and successfully beaten it in this clear video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlUB_c5nLM

If the real Trials of Death had been uploaded to the MM1 server without the dev exit, it would have been beaten before the server shutdown. The level is a potential competitor to Trimming The Herbs and Bombs5 for hardest level to be made in MM1 just because it's an insane 450 second long gauntlet level compared to TTH which is only about 13 seconds long but requires several frame perfect inputs.

Gen 3 for sure.

Gardevoir, Metagross, Latios, Latias, and Jirachi really carry this generation.

Toxel is a baby Pokemon and baby Pokemon have generally fared quite poorly aside from Riolu. Togepi is the only other baby Pokemon that has any chance of doing well once its division comes up.

Has Rapidash been in yet? Something tells me generic fire horse will do much better!

Rapidash also has a Galarian form that will help it pick up votes from people who might not otherwise vote for it.

Yep, I didn't expect Kilowattrel to do that well. It's a Gen 9 Pokemon, and Gen 9 hasn't fared too well in this contest so far.

legit surprised we can post a female symbol here

GameFAQs used to be pretty restrictive on what characters were allowed to be used in posts. For a long time, it was limited to characters in the ASCII and Extended ASCII character sets. Topic titles were restricted to standard ASCII characters only, while Extended ASCII characters could be used in messages.

It wasn't until 2017 with a major overhaul of the posting engine that we were finally allowed to use Unicode characters on the boards in both topic titles and messages (which includes Japanese text for the first time ever).

Wow what the actual fuck? Falinks AND Sirfetch'd lost to Vivillon?

Man, people must reallllly love that you can get so many different forms of it. Wowie wow wow I guess.

I blame this on the fact that probably less people have played Gen 8 than Gen 6. Less people familar with Falinks and Sirfetch'd puts them at a disadvantage against Vivillon.

Hopefully once Round 1 is over with, we'll get information on the number of eliminations for each generation.
