And with no warning? The fact there was no warning today, makes me feel if they ever decide to do what IMDB did, and kill every board, there will be no advance notice. One day everyone will just suddenly get error messages when they try to refresh a board and suddenly nothing is showing up

All but LUE, because it's buried too deep to be nuked.

Nope. Game boards holds lots of gaming info and that prolly is a great part of bringing people to this websight. All social boards maybe but not the game boards.

IMDB boards being nuked was a tragedy. Mainstream movie boards were garbage but it was a treasure trove of info for obscure movies.

Nah, they think politics is a harm to their short term revenue stream.

By the standards they set today, all non gaming boards are probably not long for this world.

If interest wanes, maybe they could merge the boards with another site. How bout GameSpot? That seems like it would be a great idea.

I still miss the IMDB boards. It was the best place to talk about movies. There'll never be anything like it again.

It was announced in a press release though. A lot of people were upset with the idea.

I don't think they'll be nuked, but I could see even game boards getting closed (i.e., locked, with no ability to post new topics).

Yeah, I remember that.

Man, it seems all of my favorite forums/boards/comment sections have been shut down over the years or become so unbearable that I refuse to go on them any longer.

Seriously, what happened?

Obviously. Everything's gotta ends sometime.

But not in the super near future or anything. I can definitely understand the reasoning for shutting down the Politics board, and imo does not quite apply to other social boards, at least not at this point.

One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls.

when this site finally dies there will probably be no notice

Eventually all the non gaming forums will close, especially if people talk about politics. It's the only way to stop that level of political discourse to them.
