Current Events > The changes I'd make if I ran Gamefaqs for Fandom

(+) Yeah! (+)

1. 300 karma requirements to post and access boards.
If a new user or casual visitor tries to access a board, they'll be met with a blank page, buuut, that page will be flooded with ads, which brings me to by next point.

2. Ads, sweet, glorious ads.
There will be ads under every topic created and ads under every post, we'll have pop ups appear every 20 minutes, ads up on the top of the screen and the bottom and ads that will follow the user as they browse the site.

3. No politik, no seggs, no Jebus, no animu.
All non-gaming boards are donezo, gone, kapoowie, kazaps. All users who posted on those boards? Bozos. They're tryna sink the place and our ad revenue, purg them for a year, that'll rile them down.

4. Anon Mods
All mods shall be under the same name, that name will be Terry

5. Anon Users
No more customization for the users, they'll all be under the same name: Terry

6. FAQ rules
All of these guides are nice, but they're not profitable enough, we need sponsors for every big game we make FAQs for, if we can't find sponsors, we take FAQs down until we can find one.

7. GameFAQs plus.
FAQs will be divided into a readable section and blurred section that can only be accessed through a $10 fine. With $20, you can buy karma and access boards too (and also get your account unsuspended and unpurged)

Everything I typed down was totally serious btw /s.

I knew this was going to be Terry's topic before I clicked on it. Someone tell Terry that Terry is posting again. You can tell them Terry told you. Also, can we get Terry in here to evaluate if it needs to be moderated? Maybe kick it up to Terry for higher level viewing.

Congrats youre about to be promoted to CEO tc!!

I would launch a mobile button, add these buttons to game pages, and then start brokering partnerships with developers to get them active

Standard Game Page

No thoughts on the beta and pre-reg options?

Good idea. But we need to lock some of those features behind a pay wall. I got it. Gamefaqs tabs.

We trick users into using features that would normally be behind a paywall, once they reach a certain point, we front load the missing payments. Let's say, to create an account that can post up to 20 messages per day, you have to enter your credit card information.
