I actually like it. It's boring and super slow, but at least it doesn't have the toxicity that CE has. On this board everyone is so focused on politics and left vs right stuff. It's weird. >_>

LUE is mostly about video games, life updates, and low-effort throwaway posts it seems like, with our own pitiful array of memes.

It's been my dream ever since I came to gamefaqs to go there. Why can't the mods grant this old man's last request?


Trust me there's nothing on LUE worth anything. Nothing of value is lost on not having LUE access. I promise you this as a LUEser

As an old LUEser who moved here and still has LUE access, it's really boring over there. Haven't even felt the need to post on that board in years. It's dull and lame now.

LUE can be toxic and the troll-to-regular poster ratio is much higher than CE.

I don't think so. The amount of true trolls is very low imo, I can just think of about 3 or 4 maybe, and they don't post that much. There's a lot of shitposting though.

it is definitely the most mature board on gamefaqs and most of the users have interacted with each other well over a decade. i dont post that much there anymore but it is definitely the best board on the site quality wise imo

I don't swing by LUE enough these days to comment on it but as of a year or two ago it was pretty toxic, just in a more low key way. The whole dwindling population of people who have known each other for years thing meant it basically just amounted to the same few people having the exact same arguments in every single topic so that ancient grudges pretty much dominated half the board

I had (and still have) access, I know what it was like, and it's nothing to write home about. Shitposting isn't glorious.

You guys are putting too much value into the mystique of it being closed. That used to be true and held for many years, but these days the only people that tend to know about LUE have been on the site for at least 10 years. Also everyone who has been here knows better about it being a super awesome place. I have my doubts much would changed if it was opened up, since that doesn't really happen on community boards either. For the most part people stay if they like the community or leave if they aren't feeling it. LUE wouldn't be an exception. Well, except for the first few months of it being open since that's novel and all.

Do you guys know how it originally had such a cool reputation to begin with? Back in the day, the rules for all the boards were much stricter than they are now (we were all a bunch of teenagers, after all), BUT, the rules for LUE were far more lax (basically what the site wide rules are now). So you'd have a ton more risque content on LUE back in the day compared to the rest of the site.

But nowadays, it doesn't have any special lax rules or anything, because those lax rules are site wide now. So if it opened up, it's not like it'd be anything new. It'd just be a bunch of CEmen migrating over there posting the same stuff they post here.

It's 100% not false. I remember for a long time a few years ago I bitched a bunch to some higher up mod, it could have even been sballen himself, and they explained this to me exactly the way I put it. LUE used to have comparatively less strict rules to the rest of the boards, but now it's all the same.

Well to be fair I was under the same assumption until a lead mod told me otherwise.

offensive rule was relaxed on lue until the rules became relaxed across the board. this is factual and i had multiple moderations overturned at the lead level due to this

No, not necessarily. But LUE can't get away with much even if rules are more lax there today.

I remember when LUE closed when I was a young teen. At the time, I only visited the game boards so I had zero interest in signing up. You can find similar places elsewhere like on Reddit anyway.

I'm in talks with SBAllen to make me the community manager. Invites would probably be restricted to those who have a user ID that would have been eligible to sign up but missed it, and proven alts of users who used to be on LUE but ended up banned, closed account, forgotten account etc.

I'd also be banning all of the pedophiles.

I would sign up for that. I am one of those forlorn, lost individuals with an account old enough, but without LUE access :P
