Current Events > Have other boards started feeling da affect of dis change?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or is it just a CE thing? Maybe non CEers will want to join CE because dey want to be part of a private community now

I mainly lurk here and post on other social boards. CE has already been way more tolerable since the privatization announcement.

regardless of personal preference, the new rules will accelerate the demise of this place.

making the board private locks us in here together, till tribalism takes over and we start sacrificing ourselves or each other.

It's mostly CE because CE is full of people who insist on pushing limits.

To wit: Fandom has all the political boards shut down. To a reasonable person, this would appear that Fandom does not want political debate. CE promptly complained about it for a week then proceeded to ignore the obvious, and frankly got worse about it. And now Fandom has said "Since CE won't get the message, CE is now private."

CE is naturally full of people who went "Surprised_Pikachu.jpg"

The really impressive part to me is there are people who were around when LUE got shuttered for being a magnet for toxicity and bad publicity, or at least know about it happening, and are still surprised it happened to CE. And that happened well before Fandom.

Vegy, I shoulda have known that your return was a harbinger of doom.

Maybe board owners should understand that content creators (aka posters) decide what gets posted, and they shouldnt go surprised_pikachu themselves if limitations lead to people leaving or a shutdown.

Fandom is a poster child for a greedy corp that only cares about ad revenue. They don't see us as "content creators", and for the record, if you aren't actively making guides, you aren't one. They see us as the product, not the people consuming the product. What they're selling is us viewing ads. We're the product and ad agencies are the buyers.

And if you want to discuss politics, find a Reddit sub. Well, most of CE's more prolific political trolls are probably banned because even Reddit has tighter standards than GameFAQs.

Bunch of motherfuckin prudes! Fandom is worse than The Taliban! Calm down, its a bad joke.
