Just look at any board. CE seems to be slower. A new topic with 0 or 1 new posts used to slide to the 2nd page within a minute or so, now new topics with 0 or 1 new posts stay on the front page for 7-10 minutes.

The WWE board only has 9 pages of new topics:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/218-pro-wrestling-wwe

The B&L board only has fewer than 1.5 pages of new topics:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/202-books-and-literature

The Drawing and Graphics board only has 4 active topics:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/252-drawing-and-graphics

Can you name some boards which are thriving?

Nothing can be done because the forums are pretty much outdated when Reddit exists, where you can have one account for several thriving communities.

The boards were never the main part of Gamefaqs, anyway. I came here because of the FAQs and guides, and i still use them to this day.

Reddits setup is horrible though. :/ like the comment thing is beyond useless and terrible to navigate.

That's a fair point but other people don't seem to care.
