Current Events > Where will you go when gamefaqs finally closes?

(+) Yeah! (+)

That day could be anywhere from in a few years to further down the line than anyone ever expected, but the population of this site continues to decrease. In the day that this place finally gets shut down (and hopefully with a year+ warning), where do you plan to migrate to?

The most obvious choice is reddit, but while I spend a majority of my time lurking there these days, its rare for me to have post. That is because, for all its positives, it seems like a different experience than a proper message board: it seems completely anonymous and hard to form any sense of real community. I admittedly have never given it a fair chance, but this is the impression I get reading it.

Are there any other places like a traditional message board that are still populated? Or is this format just a dying breed and a relic of another era?

I dont come here often anymore, but for good or bad, this place from very formative during my high school and college years, so while its long past its golden age, I will probably shed a tear when its finally goneZ

Allen has confirmed on several occasions that the boards are a hell of a lot of the traffic, and it still makes money from the two or three regulars who aren't blocking ads yet.

I see the logged in users continue to drop, but maybe there are a bunch of non-users still coming for the guides/cheats,etc. Especially with nostalgia for older games.
