Because CE is dangerous and everyone here except NCloud is a bad faith poster.

Yeah, this barely seems like the kind of thing to keep secret, and even less like the kind of thing to then reveal to one random user if you *are* keeping it secret, doubly so if you then tell them it's fine for them to tell people.

There's just no reason to do that unless you specifically want to build distrust in your integrity and/or competency.

It's totally the kind of thing I could see myself having done at one point, but thinking about it logically, there's just no reason to do things that way rather than just answer publicly yourself.

So basically, the endgame is to dissolve gamefaqs and disseminate the content in other ways

I dont read it like that. I see it as integrating gamefaqs and the wikis. Theyve made it clear keeping the gaming boards open is something they are wanting to do.

Please reread the post. They crosslinked the guides and the wikis but they decided not to do so with the boards. In short guides=good, boards=bad.
DToast said they were considering doing it with boards at one point, but "for obvious reasons, decided against it for now".
obvious reasons = politics / horny / bad faith users. The feedback topics made this clear.

If Fandom doesn't eliminate every board, then they are full of it when it comes to wanting to remove toxicity.

But why would anyone expect an incompetent company to have any idea what the hell they are doing?

Because this "experiment" is essentially closing Gamefaqs and moving everything to a wiki.

That's my take on it as well. If it were something more benign then Toast wouldn't have been so hesitant and secretive about their "experiments", and definitely wouldn't have shut down two topics over it.

I still have no idea what the thought process was around sending a PM to one random nobody on the message boards and having them do the reveal instead, but it does fit with Toast's MO of doing the absolute bare minimum of community interaction.

I'm also convinced that the "obvious reasons" for not cross-linking message board posts are because they don't want to have the boards at all, and replace them with more easily moderated comment sections instead.

Also really explains why both Toast and Timmy refuse to publicly answer what Fandom's plans for GameFAQs' future are if the answer is to strip any Wiki-compatible content and shut the site down. Why do you think their only priorities have been cross-linking, shutting down 261 and CE, and getting as much ad revenue as possible since the acquisition?

They're not doing anything to give this site a brighter future, but they're doing everything they can to give it no future. And we're still going to have mods defending them as the site burns.

tbf some of the mods have come out in solidarity with CE since the announcements.

Bullshit, I've personally asked multiple times, including in the "feedback" topics AND the topic where he said he was going to PM you.

At first i thought that DToast was just a guy caught up in a bad situation due to the powers that be at Fandom. Now, I think very poorly of the quality of his work here. Dude seems to be antagonizing users here on purpose. I hope he doesn't sink to the point where he gets an expensive banner made up and throws himself a sad party to dunk on us.

Im guessing the 300k figure is fandoms budget for revamping all their sites / new projects etc.
