I remember being a regular on that board (probably still a regular lurker though) back in its heyday in 2003-2004, and I never unsubscribed or whatever the term is, so it's been sitting in my board list ever since. It was rebranded to WOT at some point, and also hidden, it's literally categorized under "Hidden Boards". Makes me wonder how many other hidden boards there are, tbh. It's pretty dead, though I remember they were speculating on their fate after 261 was shut down but yeah, the idea was they could fly under the radar because nobody would know about it, lol.

The path of GameFAQs as a brand isn't just one point where it was sold.

It's impossible to know where exactly it'd be if CJayC or someone similarly capable/driven kept running it but you can't just assume that the site is always hit by a wall where upper management is like "who cares throw it in for scraps" if the site is run well. That's not how businesses work believe it or not. Stagnation matters. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yesmar_ 04/16/24 1:02:52 AM #189:	Out of curiosity, I tried seeing how popular the other boards on the site still are, and I noticed something interesting on the "Popular Game Boards" list: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/explore/1-game-boards I don't know how the algorithm works that displays this, but I find it curious that a bunch of Fallout games show up on this list over say Dragon's Dogma 2, which has many more active topics on its board. Presumably this is because of the new Amazon show, but that implies that when people search for Fallout online, Google, etc. are still directing people to GameFAQS boards, and driving up hits. Not sure where I'm going with this, but interesting that GameFAQS Boards still have that much of a reach. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!

Lopen 04/16/24 1:05:25 AM #190:	Like it's a chicken egg situation Was the site run into the ground by someone who had no idea what they were doing and was content to rest on the few laurels it had until the site was treated as valueless to those higher up Or was the site treated as valueless by those higher up which made the someone unable to do anything but watch it get sold to worse and worse entities. I feel like it's the former because this site actually had a notable web presence once upon a time and it gradually eroded away by the site doing nothing of note for years and years. You feel like it's the latter because you want to make excuses for SBAllen because he's a nice guy. Who's to say which one of us is right.

ChichiriMuyo 04/16/24 1:44:55 AM #192:	This is dumb. There is no reason to do this to social boards outside of poor moderation, which clearly wasn't the case here on B8, at the least.
