Am I? Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about.

I mean you think DToast is making shit up. You tell me what you really feel. BTW, we make fun of people who gets riled up over the usage of websight over here.

Maybe he should get better PR then.

That's nice, dear.

Or maybe you're just reaching? Naw couldn't be that right?

DToast is a CM he's got no say in it. Marketing wants this so marketing gets it. If you want to argue the decision you're arguing with the wrong people.

Yeah but GameSpot doesn't matter.

Are their users complaining about it like the users here?

I peaked over there. I'd say they're having similar outrage over there. We don't think they matter but they think they matter.

I mean it's the big big big boss's call. What can you really say or do? Gotta just accept it's the end and find some way to replace it and deal with it.

At the very least, we want the archives to be open for awhile so we can save stuff.

I think the CEOs that bought this company told them to take it down because that's the exact sort of reason they buy unprofitable toys like these kinds of websites (This is like a bargain bin version of the purchase of Twitter, which was also never going to be profitable and all about Elon Musk's ego and desire to try to control a narrative), and in fact, we sort of already know as much from the story we were told about this being the only thing they were concerned about when negotiating the purchase (Which is absolutely absurd).

I doubt they are alt-right, they are likely right-libertarians and in fact, that's a group that was made fun of quite often on the Politics board, along with special heroes of theirs like Elon Musk and all the other rich losers they worship.

This entire website is worth like 50k. That's absolute pocket change as far as buying a business goes. We all know it isn't going to be profitable, and if your idea is to make it profitable, all of a sudden axing a sizeable amount of users reason for coming to the site is absolute lunacy. I mean, eventually they are going to plaster the Fandom sidebar onto this site and try to redirect traffic away from the sinking ship, why would you want less traffic being redirected?

Actually, no, Fandom bought CNET. Gamefaqs just happened to be one of CNET's many assets, so they acquired it. And banning the Politics board reduces only a tiny percentage of Gamefaq's userbase, most of which is found on the Next Gen, PotD, CE, Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox boards. Also, from the sound of it, they don't want 261's traffic.

Okay guy who is having a hard time their politic board is now closed.

Nah, Heineken did this long before the shutdown of 261.

Are we really just posting people's names without their permission? Wasn't there already a big fuss about using this dude's real name when he was announced as community manager?

Still sucks they shut down the board though

As cold as those Minnesota winds of his.

I mean, what'd you expect man?

Those regards were apparently the warmest.

Those regards were icier than the extreme cold that is Minnesota.

lmao

I like this Dylan fellow. He braves the cold winds of Minnesota and knows exactly how to shut people down in the most corporate way possible with a hint of humanity.
