Besides a contest.


For example: The Television and Broadcast board essentially became the LOST board during its run.

Has Board 8 ever got stuck on a certain game, subject, etc... in its lifetime?

the releases of brawl, ff12, and pokemon diamond/pearl are the big ones I can think of. the board was basically wall-to-wall game discussion and hype

Depends on your definition of "dominated." There are certainly games that have taken the board by storm, the Ace Attorney series probably being the most notable one.

As far as regular topics of conversation go, I can't think of any.

That one time when Umineko was really popular.

Those were dark times. Glad we don't have that shit anymore.




Basically major game releases that a large portion of the board is looking forward to.

In retrospect it's really strange that this happened, but I also enjoyed myself a lot while it was going on. Can we go back?

I don't think it can be stated how much longer the alpha/beta stuff lasted than any of the rally stuff.

Those contests lasted 2 months tops.

The alpha/beta stuff was almost 2 years. Maybe longer.

I feel like there's nothing that unites the whole board in the same way any more, though.

like, persona 5 was eagerly anticipated by a lot of people, and enjoyed by a lot of people, but there wasn't the same atmosphere of the whole board going nuts. it was just a fun game in a year with a lot of fun games.

Ah, board Invasion.

2002 was the peak for this site-wide. Idiots would do this just to get on BUL (Banned User List) and to ensure their fame, they'd suicide resulting in Usermap Axes/KOS (Kill on Sight).
