Since we don't have contests anymore politics was the closest we got to F5'ing a poll all day and talking about it.

Fuck em.

CE getting quarantined harder than LUE made me laugh though.

Insane decision.

yes, time to close the account and leave this site. I know GameFAQs died a while ago when it started getting bought and sold every few days and when SBAllen left, it was the end for contests, the only reason I stuck around. oh well.

Predicting that Fandom shuts down the fourms altogether because they want to turn this site into wikia #9824. I'm sure they'll list a lack of activity as a main reason.

Yeah, purgatory doesn't (or didn't AFAIK) result in you losing LUE access. Like, I'm sure an admin could specifically take it from you if they had to but I think as long as you weren't banned you kept it.

Kinda expecting now that the next step will be shutting down all non-game boards.

I've never really ventured too far from Board 8 in the last 20 years, but is GameFAQS even that bad by Internet standards in regards to inappropriate speech? I mean, even at its height 15 years ago, the stereotype was that it was full of stupid"how is babby formed?" level conversations, not 4chan level bigotry.

Discord is still different. Like you will lose conversations that you weren't present for. Forums still have that sense of preservation and long-term readback that live chats do not have.

I'd love to join there, but even with multiple people on multiple sites vouching for me Steiner won't budge, which is totally his right to do and I understand why. Lots of people are never going to forget how I used to act on here.

Im not interested in competing B8 servers, thats dumb. If people want a server without me its fine.
Maybe someone with more time on their hands can make another message board like what happened to LUE

There's free forum software out there (or paid I guess). Someone could make Board 8 into its own forum (and Discord would be the lifeboat to keep everyone about it and help the migration).

The discoverability would be awful and many people here would miss the memo and never know about it, and it would probably not even really catch on with many of the people who do know about it... but it's an option!
