(+) Yeah! (+)

the worst behavior on this site is on the individual game boards, so no

each one is a toxic cesspool of trolls.

but those individual game boards are not very heavily populated right? you think the viewership of ce will go down many times ,like a huge amount?

this board may be taken down right?

Nope, they just want to suck the CEmen out.

why would they want to do that though? ce used to be easily the most populated board, that will probably crater.

I don't really know what the end goal is with banning politics and making CE private and all that. Like, who tf cared about these communities? Was fandom or Gamefaqs brought into disrepute because of 261 posts?? I just don't see why they're bothering at all.

Maybe it takes up too much admin/moderation attention.

It's honestly probably like most other changes for the greater good of streamlining the internet. Subtle censorship of nsfw, political, and safety information. At this rate they can slowly bleed out the board and even site as a whole, and reach a point where the population is low enough to not even bother maintaining the boards at all. But it'll be packed with ads ofcourse. I mean the whole question and answers feature for a game kinda screwed up the interaction on the board, since you no longer get the same question asked 48 times like the olden days.

No, it's clearly either some vendetta by the new admin, going by his posts in that Q&A topic, or just usual Fandom nonsense of implementing stupid changes for no particular logical reason. You don't revitalize a site by turning it on its head. You think they'd stop pretending and just do whatever they actually plan to do now instead of later.

No, the politics part is honestly probably part of the whole general censorship of information that's also floating around on other sites. I won't jump to any conclusions, but one of the best ways to control/steer large groups is to limit or block access to information and only let them know what you want them to know.

It's already been happening, just gamefaqs is now being dragged into it due to whoever is far far up the chain.

what ? what do you mostly mean by your post though? don't want them to know info......

Things have only gone down hill since they took away BlackManAss.

This place has become way more of a left-leaning echo chamber since the political board died, that's for sure

I'm not some conspiracy theorist nut, but it doesn't take a lot of banging rocks together to look at the past and see a similiar pattern, just different approach.

In the Soviet Union, large groups of people were controlled by what they wanted them to know. Radiation isn't deadly, Chernobyl is a coal powerplant, we're winning, nothing to see here. Stuff like that.

There's been a very, very slow shift to how the internet works, and even places with systems to filter disinformation which has to be controlled by someone. Just saying, limit/block discussion here so we're forced to take what the news or social media tells us.
