I'm guessing the goal is to get rid of the social boards more then anything non gaming.

I highly doubt they're all that worried about the Sports boards or whatever.

Yeah, I'm thinking this is at least their first goal as well. This would allow them to force a topicality rule across the entirety of the site. It's obvious from the way they've been talking, however, that their goal is to make the Gamefaqs boards exclusively about gaming and gaming-related discussion. Again, here are the key excerpts from a couple of Timmy's posts. I underlined the most significant one.

while we understand the passion surrounding political discussions, we believe it is essential to maintain a focus on gaming-related content

While we recognize the value of healthy debate and diverse perspectives, such discussions must remain respectful and relevant to our gaming-focused platform.

this decision aligns with how we operate other parts of our platform, and how we want GameFAQs to be positioned in broad gaming discourse.

political discussion does not make sense as a core driver of conversations on a site dedicated to video games and gameplay.
