Well dang one of the last bastions of old school forum posting is about to die off.

With these rules, unless they somehow manage a very clean "your rules but applied fairly" that's subjectively better across many opinions, what incentive exists for new users to come that a place such as reddit does not already accomplish?

From what I've seen, any newcomer comes to gamefaqs for guides on retro/old games that aren't youtube covered. Or they actually like the relatively lax moderation in the gaming/special interest forums.

There is no incentive to use the message boards because they don't want people to use them. At a push they want the boards to act as a Q&A feature for people asking things about games. I imagine they will retain that sort of functionality when they get rid of the boards.
