If only Fandom could be held legally responsible for advertising us things that are illegal.

But "We don't control the ads"(We just profit from them).

Yup, that's the excuse Google uses for the blatant fraud they often advertise. Laws are SUPER lax for advertisement distribution companies. They can basically take money from anybody, throw their ads all over the internet and face zero liability. It's why Google Ad Sense so often will be hosting freakin' Mr. Beast scam ads that exist purely to scam people out of money by pretending to be Mr. Beast giving away shit. Google doesn't care, they get paid and can't be sued over it.

You sound like you are part of that "gang" that wants to destroy GameFaqs.


His only posts in this thread are of course playing victim. I don't understand how people live like that.

The Purg part of this is really dumb IMO. The fact that they just didn't up the karma requirement means they want this board to die but making it the users fault it did. Act of cowards tbh.

Does it lose users though? I'd like to see actual data on that. Seems to me this site already has a declining userbase and when people get a ban they just make a new account. From a advertising revenue perspective they really don't care if Bob3722 gets banned and Bob3723 gets created the same day and keeps using the site.

I'd say more about this but every time I say things that are factually correct about the decisions being made I get told "nuh-uh" and then get moderated. Then I get proven right a few months later.

It finally hit me over my lunchtime shower that the CE I've been visiting for nearly 20 years now is truly on its last legs and with these new restrictions will likely cease to be relatively quickly.

So many great memories here. Tried leaving several times but always came back cause this place felt like a home to me since I didn't have many people to talk to outside of it back in high school.

:(

NGG was the board I visited most as a teen. CE was an afterthought. Now that NGG is mostly dead I've been on CE for a couple years now. Even more so when 261 was shut down.

This will certainly be interesting to watch

Considering they've made it even more difficult to troll on CE, and they're more obsessed with this board than the people who can post on it, no they haven't won.

Most of yall will adapt, or at least be able to keep up with the friends you made here. The perma banned folks will still have their personal flaws.
That's like cutting off your foot to deal with an ingrown toenail. Call me pessimistic, but I don't really expect CE or any of the social boards to last very long at this rate.

I honestly don't know what boards are even slightly active these days besides CE. Game boards die quick. The movie boards are pretty slow. I'm legit going to be sad once gamefaqs is gone because it's been part of my unhealthy daily habit since the 90s.

Yeah I know that feel bro.

I've been using gamefaqs since the 90s. First account was in early 2000s (then lost an account bet)

Even though the site has been declining over the years, it still felt important to me. Now it's dying and I'm just old.

Referring back to the NGS social board I noted earlier, that board is effectively dead as well. Aside from the current events topics, no one really posts there and I honestly wonder why mods are letting it live. Just close the board already. NGG is the main board, anyway, and even that has been in relatively slow decline.

Even feet is too much for the prude mods to handle. Even the fucking Amish can handle seeing feet, lol

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Tumblr lost 97% of its value within like a year by banning "horny" content.
You'd think that would have taught people a lesson, but the stupid are incapable of learning.

But hey, they want to make CE a safe space for new users...who literally cannot join or view CE...so they have to censor it for these literally impossible nonexistent new users.
