It took about 10 years or so before LUE slowed to a crawl.

When LUE closed there were 10x the people using these boards. CE is now a closed off portion of a forum that already only has about 1,000 users browsing sitewide at any given time.

Even of the people who don't get purged many will just lose interest in this place and move on. Especially with the fear of getting kicked out unless you post in a tame manner. Boards can't survive without new users.

I am also curious about people who are currently in purgatory being able to still access the board after they leave. I just got out last week and seeing this now makes me go PHEW.

So if CE is going private can it actually have adult discussion since the majority of users here are adults? This will be pretty hilarious considering itll completely take out the trolls lol

Honestly, ever since the Politics board closing I was thinking Fandom would straight up close CE. And maybe all boards except the game ones. I guess this could still happen. We tried to make things work for the community, but the issues with CE being non-inclusive and toxic still continue. Weve made the difficult decision to close the board.

Which is weird, because CE is honestly one of the more inclusive boards on the site.

Does anybody have like, a full testimonial of what happened to Vegy? As far as I know, getting unbanned is unprecedented, much less getting conditions for your return.

Well, maybe this happened to I think Gavirulax back in the day? But the story I'm thinking of is that the user was continuously hacking the site and they tried to pacify them or something.

Honestly, now I want to know more details about the Vegy unbanning.

Like, getting all his alts banned at once is already big here, and getting unbannend after months is even more unusual.

It was probably part of this plan tbh. They were bringing back a user who they expected to keep fucking up to use his posts as examples in their board meeting about how CE needs to go away.

We used to have low karma accounts show up all the time with <100 karma, now that will never happen again

They were alts of banned users but at least we could sort of pretend they were new people joining CE, until they got banned again after waiting months to post on CE

Im not sure why the outrage. This community will still be here for every rule abiding veteran. The real change is no rampant alts or trolls anymore, which should be viewed as a good thing.

The only way this could backfire is if there is excessive heavy handed moderation on this board, which would slowly erode the core user base. Otherwise, CE is now on the path to becoming a safe haven from trolls.

Honestly? Hard to tell which ones aren't most likely just someone's alt. Truth is that most people consider this site outdated in the face of wikis & video guides, which is a shame, because thanks to all those bounties back in the day, GameFAQs is easily the largest single database for video game help on the internet, especially for older games.
