That is the lowest I have seen so far. It usually in the 700-800 range this time of day.

Honestly posting on CE just feels weird now. Before it was a revolving door of different people coming and going, now its an exclusive club of specific people that I didnt want to join.

Yea. I had hope that Fandom could turn it around and bring back the growth of new users. But making this board private pretty much guarantees the number of people can only go down. Growth is dead. You have to hope something like Random Insanity or POTD becomes the new CE but they have even less users than CE. So you would be going to a less active board.

I went to Random Insanity and that board has a topic that got started in 2019. I knew they had less users/posts than here. Just didn't realize the drop off was that they'd have a thread from 5 years ago still active.

I'm not sure if people have admit this yet but people are probably going to change posting habits to not risk getting kicked off CE. Like if a topic is possibly controversial just not post it at all.

0 is a glitch. It's never 0 unless it's in read only mode

Most people on PotD would generally prefer that didn't happen.

Yeah I'm aware. I have seen it in the 300s though for probably the legit lowest number I've seen.

Maybe I should have elaborated more. I meant those two boards becoming more active. By becoming the new CE I meant being the most active social boards on site to replace the one that went private. Like when LUE went private another public board had to be one that got the traffic of those locked out of LUE.

Yeah, that's basically what I meant.

"Becoming more active" means new users coming in. If enough new users come in, they start to outnumber and overwhelm the people already there (most of whom have been there for more than a decade). Over time, the board culture would start to shift. Over a long enough time, and with enough CE refugees flooding in, PotD essentially stops being PotD and just becomes CE-Lite (or New-CE).

Most PotDers wouldn't see that as a good thing.

It's a problem CE refugees (refuCEes?) are going to create no matter where they choose to go, unless they just pick a completely empty dead board as a replacement CE. Flooding into boards with preexisting members/activity/history/culture is just going to kill those boards instead.

So where should those users go? You make it sound like the answer is to another site. If they aren't welcomed at those boards according to your anecdote.

The answer is probably an offshoot clone forum, like the LUE people made when their board got privated.

CE didn't like the Politics board users flooding in, they brought a sense of indignance with them and it became harder to discuss certain topics and perspectives without getting shouted down, the board culture changed quite a bit and within less than a year we ended up quarantined too.

Us CEpeople probably have a lot of traits other communities wouldn't like as well.

Oh, the really old topics? Well that's sort of just a hobby of some of us... >_>

Reminds me of that MGS speech.

Everyone withdrawals into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum; they stay inside their little ponds leaking what ever "truth" suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large. The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh, no one is invalidated but no one is right. Not even natural selection can take place here. The world is being engulfed in "Truth". And this is the way the world ends. Not with a BANG, but with a whimper.

The problem is whether you care about the perspective of the people who are being displaced, versus the people whose house they're breaking into.

Mass migrations usually end poorly for one half of the equation.

This is what Fandom wants. Slowly bleeding CE with activity dropping week-after-week till they pull the plug on the social board.

In terms of ET GameFAQs generally has more users online around 9PM ET. Than 7AM ET which was when this thread was made. I think a part of it was West coast a sleep. And this was the day right after those massive rules changes.
