What's funny is that particular user has probably contributed more to the toxicity of the community than anyone else in recent memory

Indirectly, yea. Ill own that.

That was Jacob Curnow. He was also a regular on the Injustice boards. I dont normally use this term anymore, but he was a legit lolcow.

Jacob once made a YouTube video that was like 20 minutes long where he threaten to kill me because I was responsible for sending UFC fighter Ben Askren to his house to beat him upor something.

It was at that point I realized he actually needed help. I made a whole topic apologizing for bullying him, and owning it. I encouraged others to also not bully him.

The thing is Jacob was labeled a witch and for good reason. So since 75% of the damn NRS boards were ragging on him, I did as well. I never even considered that I was the bullyas did nobody elseit was just par for the course.

The sky is blue. The grass is green. Lets make fun of Jacob on the NRS boards.

We sometimes forget that awful people can also be the victims of bullying and harassmentand honestly that just descends them further into madness. Thats how supervillains are created.

Unfortunately, too little too late. Jacob is actually in legal trouble (maybe even prision) for drunkenly assaulting his family members with a machete. It was on a twitch live stream too.

But I do believe that I, as well as all the other posters, indirectly contributed to him going mad, which is why I try to be more aware of my actions these days. Even if I feel as if someone deserves it I still do my best to restrain.

Like me or hate me, thats a sticking point of my personal moral compass that is unwavering. Its what got me into conflict with all the Reddit folks. I didnt let them harass people, so, they made their own platform to do it

I do believe in general a community like Current Events while not all toxic, does inspire a certain type of bully mentality to it, I suppose you could call it seeking conflict with others that you disagree with.

That type of vibe just needs to be quarantined in my opinion. Doing so should make the entire platform more accessible to new users.

i really do not see the GameFAQs boards in their entirety lasting more than a few more years at absolute most
I'm personally hoping they're just preparing to leave it on life support but yeah you could be right.

I don't trust STEROLIZER as far as I could throw him. He acts like this "hero" of GameFAQs, claiming he will help users who have been unfairly wronged by GameFAQs mods but when you actually *do* need his help he doesn't actually do anything if there's nothing in it for him. He doesn't care about anyone but himself.

He's not going to PM someone to help, he's going to PM them because he's too afraid to post his actual opinions here.

Because they get him banned.

TIMMY HATH SPOKEN:

Hello all,

Just wanted to acknowledge we have been reading and gathering the feedback you provided. There have been a number of substantive questions the mod team has jumped in and answered, so thanks to them.

Overall, the main feedback weve received is that the decision to lock the Current Events board and generally prohibit explicitly political topics elsewhere is unpopular amongst a large percentage of commenters. I dont want to duck or run from that takeaway - this is something Fandom discussed and anticipated before making these changes. Ultimately, we will be standing by this decision because doing so aligns with how we operate other parts of our platform, and how we want GameFAQs to be positioned in broad gaming discourse.

I understand that many of you have been contributing to these topics for years and feel as though it has been productive and handled respectfully. We understand that legacy - the CE board is continuing precisely because for the most part, this opinion has been largely true. The CE board is continuing - if you were passionate about contributing there, you can continue to contribute there with the same engaged fellow members youve had.

These changes are about recognizing the internet has changed over the course of the last 20 years and setting the foundation for a better future - political discussion does not make sense as a core driver of conversations on a site dedicated to video games and gameplay. I dont believe if GameFAQs was to be started today, that political topics would be part of the structure of the site.

I do want to caution against some of the slippery slope arguments I have seen in the comments - many of these rules changes are in fact just formalizing informal policies that have existed here. I know, for instance, some of the worst political flame posts have been removed for trolling. Nor is this a precursor for us banning discussion about our identities and passions. Nor is this a sign that Fandom is trying to kill off GameFAQs. We are, after internal discussion and review, making a set of rule changes and board structural tweaks to address some long-standing concerns that have been brought to us. Nothing more, nothing less.

We will work harder to provide direct responses in a timely fashion and will create a part 2 of this topic linked here for any follow up questions or comments.

I am not a hero just a disgruntled user like the rest of you. Also my opinions arent golden, they are my own, they come from my perspective, and they very flawed.

I cloned gamefaqs also back in 2005. I still have my source code- very outdated though
EDIT: not a complete functioning clone but some ideas were ripped from MediaArchive (old spinoff)
I remember that spinoff!

He def seems like more of a corporate stooge than DToast. I don't agree with all of what DToast is saying, but at least he's making an effort of actually engaging with the criticism rather than just providing some canned statement and fucking off until the next canned statement is prepared

Can someone give me a TL:DR to the solutions? I know the details behind CE closing but don't have the time to read through these topics.

Is there a place everyone is migrating to? Still in discussion? What are the things I need to know?

All the info is in the OP regarding that. There are currently 2 discords and another forum many have joined, all links to them are in the OP. Most seemed to have joined all of em just to see where the community will be most active if this place ever gets canned.

I wouldn't be shocked if the whole site is gone by the end of the year been lurking for a long time and knew this day would come eventually. CE was the last grasp of the old days and now with the new rules and privatization it is only a matter of time.

It took a while to grow on me, but it's pretty nice actually.
I got into Discord because that's where mods of certain games are most active and post their latest updates. It's pretty much like the chatrooms back in the day with a fresh coat of paint

Check out the forum - it's great. IMO forums are much better for large discussions over a period of time. Discord is good for quick chats.
