They wouldn't do that. Because then some users could actually post there.

I know the name of the site is Gamefaqs but who the fuck wants to talk about nothing but video games all the time? Everyone who uses the boards are adults who may want to occasionally have conversations that aren't completely vapid.
Videogames are literally the only thing the admins ever think about.

Teens (13+)/young adult's (18-20) seem to be the target audience these days. With how anti- they are, it's no surprise Fandom and other places are sanitizing sites. "Think of the children" has always been an easy way to change things. We're "protecting them" from mean words on the screen, protecting their fragile minds from evil "sex" related things, and allowing them to freely decapitate people in video games. THINK OF THE CHILDREN; MAN!
Why is it that the world can't spell "lose" or "woman" right???

No I wasnt. I thought the people complaining in a topic here were being overdramatic considering the board was full of the most toxic users on here at the time. Ill never praise any of the admin staff here lol. Dont start drama.

So apparently you had been to like 2 boards on the entire website.

Last night I was lying in bed, staring at the stars, and I wondered... Where the **** is my roof?

As a kid I thought our generation was going to be more progressive about nudity and sex but in some ways we seem worse than when we're growing up.

Look, I'm going to level with you here - I've had discussions with the age category they're aiming for on this site, and it's never been a pleasant experience.

Just the other night, I had two twenty somethings shrieking at me on the Switch board for saying I didn't want to be play the XBC3 DLC because it's a prequel, and I don't often care to play prequel games unless they're full stand alone titles.

The fact that *anyone* thinks these kids need protecting boggles the belief. If anything, we need some form of protection from them - They can can get downright vicious if you don't like the thing they like as much as they do.
-Insert witty signature here-
Part of me wonders if banning religious discussion early on could have been a good move considering how flammable the topic is on here. But 20 years in doing it is just corporate censorship.

I would not forsee any future closures happening at least without attempting other things 1st

Yeah, I'm going to call bs on that. It's pretty damn obvious what Fandom's endgame for this site is: close down all message boards and then plaster ads on everything left, making this site just as shitty as their wikis.

Ah, I'm having Nintendo64 and Rare message board flashbacks. Nintendo fans during that time were incredibly salty that the N64 had a super limited (and lackluster) library of 3rd party games while the Playstation got all of the good 3rd party stuff. They also faced constant deridement from Playstation fanboys about how "N64 sucks because it's too kiddy" Oh, they were also nursing their hate-boner over Majora's Mask because "it was too kiddy" and wasn't nearly as good as Ocarina of Time. Gamefaqs mostly consisted of users between the ages of 13-18 back then.
So yeah, some things never change.

That board was hardly active

I predict that more social boards will get shut down with Fandom using this excuse.

As a kid I thought our generation was going to be more progressive about nudity and sex but in some ways we seem worse than when we're growing up.

It does feel that after all the stories of sexual abuse and exploitation a good chunk of pepole are regressing to pre 1950's culture norms in some ways of now making it like seeing any sexuality as offensive....in the sense that sex is starting to be something pushed out of site. Just look at how desexualized so many movies and shows are now...we are at the point where even a little sexualization is seen as abuse so it feels like anything that's not a porn movie/ show about sex has become sexless because any thing that even hints at" power imbalance" makes a lot think that product should be canceled.

I mean seriously....just look at how sterile the majority of shows and movies these days are with that kind of stuff...many are afraid to even have romance at this point.

I mean look at how the last James bond movie was with how much they made Bond afraid or embarrassed to even give off the impression he was flirting with the woman spy in the midpoint or other stuff in movies.

This just proves they want to close any non gaming message board.

My community board has been spared the chopping block.

It's not just that, you also have the right wing panic over "sexualization of children" (translation: minors being exposed to anything remotely sexual in nature, such as 2 adults making out, and in the case of the far right, being taught sex ed and being told that homosexuals and non-binary people even exist) that has bled over into the center and even left just like the rise in LGBTQIA+-phobia in recent years (yeah, WTF at that). That is not to say that child sex abuse, and even grooming doesn't exist, but come on. People have been making out in PG and PG13 movies for decades.
Although I might tend to think sexual content is rarely implemented well (shoehorned costume DLC and the like), I don't need to be shielded from it!

We had a religion board? I'm learning about so many boards we had.

It was in the same group of Politics board, along with History and News boards.

Honestly feels like at least some pepole just want to get rid of romance and go back to arranged marriages...not everyone but enough to feel worried about where things are going.

I agree with both of you.
It's something I've noticed as well.
