Will GameFAQs boards survive the 2020s?


Non-game boards.

More people go to Reddit and we hardly get actual new posters here.

It always amuses me when lower level accounts banter on about things they think they know about.

gamefaqs.gamespot isn't going to be merged in with reddit or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -Error1355

so long as trolling is rarely enforced on the game boards it will always be popular for trolls

I mean, its lasted this long. Itll likely be around for quite some time. As long as theres new games and consoles coming out and people to bitch about em, this site will continue to exist.

They survived the 2010s.

We're gonna be the 2040s equivalent of a bingo parlor soon.

All you would need is a popular site with traditional forums and you could easily bleed off the remaining GFaqs population.

Yeah. There was once that top 25 AMP user list, I think it's still going on but I haven't seen it in a while. A few years ago they had a contest where you guessed how many active posts the site had, I was curious so I compared the two and the top 25 users have a disturbingly high chunk of the active messages. I can't imagine it's improved since then, although it may have ever since Devin announced a change to the purge rate. Dead board topics stay up longer so on paper it looks marginally better. As for actual activity? Nope.

I was once one of those 25 users, barely, but I did that without spam. After the way I've been treated here I don't see a reason to prop those activity numbers up, and the purge rate, sitemap changes have ended all my motivation to go board hunting. I had a top 10 community board, locked up without recourse so I don't have anything major invested in this site anymore. I'm on reddit now and I really did not want to be, I would prefer this layout, but I don't prefer anything else. I'm here for The Range and complaints at this point.

Survive... or thrive?

I'd say the former, most likely, but the latter.... I don't know. I think there'd need to be a pretty significant shakeup for GameFAQs boards to get enough interest and growth to make it a destination for both new and oldcomers alike.
