Current Events > What annoys me about the 261 closure is still having new message notifications

(+) Yeah! (+)

That I can't read. So the board is still there and not actually deleted, just denied access. That actually seems lazier than just deleting the entire board.

Naa, changing the user level to something we can't get is the easiest, laziest thing they could have done and what they did. Literally just changing a value in 1 spot. The mods are probably in there dancing on its grave if their responses on CE are anything to go by.

New message notifications meaning mods are posting in those topics? That's just weird

Nah, they were there before closing but I didn't check the board again until after it was closed.

No, new message notifications for topics we hadn't checked since the board was closed.

Ah, yeah that makes sense

weird, wonder if they are using it to mod users still.

So basically the 7 million posts and whatever amount of topics aren't actually deleted (yet). Still a tiny chance to archive it if allowed, but I highly doubt it will ever happen.

Someone here posted a Screencap of the final topics, I was at work but saw it on mobile, politics isn't my bag. But history like that is Gamefaqs lore. I wish I was home so I could have saved that picture.
