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. 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

But see, you did find your way to CE eventually. It's a trickle for sure but new users DO show up here on occasion. That's just impossible now though, it inevitably will result in the eventual death of this board at a faster pace than was happening previously.

You could argue that the difference is negligible and well I don't know if I can argue against that position but I mean making it impossible for people to come here at all I feel will hurt in the long run. We'll see.
