Topic | Why did LUE get closed again? |
Hyena_Of_Ice 04/18/24 10:54:21 AM #40: | Oh, I just realized that I've been using some of the terms incorrectly. ExcLUEsion was not the privatization of LUE after the Live Journal invasion-- it was the signup. So the terminology is like this: Black LUEsday: A user in a Truth or Dare topic dares LUEsers to invade the Pokemon board. Tealmarie creates a topic asking why Pikachu is yellow, and is suspended shortly thereafter. LUEsers blow a gasket and start invading the Pokemon board for real, in addition to committing around 25 LUEicides. Tealmarie's account is later restored, but CJayC implements a minimum user requirement on LUE -- the first in Gamefaqs history -- to curb the board invasions and LUEicides. SteriLUEzation: LUE is privatized to accounts below a certain UserID # after LUEsers invaded the memorial Live Journal of a 15yo suicide victim, filling it with abusive and highly inappropriate content ExcLUEsion: Ceej created a 2-week, unannounced signup period during which Gamefaqs users could sign up to retain their access to LUE. Needless to say, a lot of people missed the opportunity. Another note: Though this is not LUE-specific, there was a point when reformat//:C or whatever the command line is was a banned word. Yeah, you heard me. (Man, remember when computers had far less idiot-proofing?) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
