MildlyIrkedOwl 04/17/17 2:55:24 PM #1:	There's no doubt anymore that it's dying. Every board is a shadow of its former self. Things are slower, less users - even Random Insanity is basically gone now. They must be having meetings about this. Even just some cautionary Google Analytics stats would be painting a nasty picture. Typically in situations like this, they look to do an overhaul or sell up. I don't see anyone buying it, personally. If they overhaul it, how would they do so without alienating the existing userbase? Or maybe they're just going to wrap it up slowly over time and focus in other areas. The increased ads are getting real shitty. --- Hoot!

Polycosm 04/17/17 3:09:05 PM #4:	It's an Alexa global top-500 site (flawed measurement, but still) with mostly text-based assets and the number of salaried positions can be counted with one hand. Whether or not the decreased board activity is causing a noticeable dip in page views, I can't imagine that GameFAQs is anything less than a cash cow for CNET. --- Thanks, DpObliVion, for casting my 2015 contest guru bracket into the pits of oblivion.

scoobydoobydont 04/17/17 3:58:52 PM #11:	Hopefully they do like the imdb and shut the boards down. The alt-right and fanboys of various stripes (mostly PS though) have turned the boards into a shitshow, and the mods are not solving the problem (or in some cases, contribute to it). It's a cesspool and needs purging. --- http://i.imgur.com/Lz9KiZA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eUg3mP6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MK8vbmw.png https://i.imgur.com/DNvL8q5.jpg <cite>scoobydoobydont posted [p:877375950] in I wonder w...
