Current Events > The whole point is to shut down the board with the least amount of blowback

(+) Yeah! (+)

Come election day, this board might get a whole lot smaller

I still say they are waiting for Trump to pass away before CE's night of the long knives begins.

There is a culture issue where they believe we the existing community are all bad faith users and as such they dont want to engage with us. You can see it from their responses across numerous topics. The trust issues they are trying to fix is not does the community trust us. What they want is a community they can trust to not complain about their NSFW ads

Actually, I believe game boards are the main source of revenue. Social boards are essentially a waste of resources to them (someone has to babysit them and they don't make much if any revenue).

Because gaming boards needs no babysitting, like tlou boards after a specific kiss.

Yeah, both Timmy and D_Toast have specifically used the term "(in) bad faith"

Yeah, when you Google something about a video game a bunch of Reddit and gamefaqs message board posts are in the top results.

Anymore it's only reddit.

Board has honestly deserved it for some time now

Those who wish to stifle political discussion and celebrate its oppression usually have something in common.

Like I said in the other topic:

I dont feel the social boards feature in Fandoms thinking or plans at all tbh. I feel they are indifferent to them and perhaps just seen as a remnant of another time to them that predates their involvement with the site.

Like any company looking to turn a profit that acquires another business. There are reasons and assets you bought the site for and that you want to keep and there are other aspects that dont really feature into your business plans at all.

Indifference is probably the word Id use to describe fandoms views of the social boards based on what Ive seen. They have a plan to make money from the site and the social boards dont factor into that whatsoever based on my reading of the feedback threads. Its all corporate speak and vague responses. The speech of an owner of the site who wants to make money. Not one who genuinely cares about the history of the site.
