I was saying that in the short term it would be beneficial for here, my concern is more long term it is a death sentence for CE.

It was rare but occasionally we would get new users coming here joining the community who weren't just troll alts, that's not going to happen any more.

In the short term though? This is a very beneficial change.

Gamefaqs itself might get new users, but not current events. For example, a friend of mine recently got into video games few months back and started visiting gamefaqs for the guides of old games and specific game boards, but there is no way in hell he'll ever peruse social boards and subsequently CE.

So the 5% chance of a new user stumbling upon ce is almost nonexistent, regardless if they closed off this board or not. I was on gamefaqs 2 years before I was told about CE, definitely would not have looked for it on my own. So in the modern age, ain't no one gonna be visiting this place least of all the new gens
