My whole gimmick is has been to criticize the old GameFaqs regime's user aquisition, retention, and growth strategy. Like its literally all I talk about.


No, you talk about incel and how you don't see them as human. You seemed far more interested in mocking and belittling people than actually giving a fuck about the site. You even seem to think all the mods are "CE mods".

I've never seen you talk about the growth of the site, outside of replacing the moderators. Which is a sentiment typically parroted by the frequently banned.

The site needs to be modernized by Fandom? Sure, just surf this site on mobile without adblockers for 5 minutes. Tell me who would want to put up with that. That's your ""modernization"" by your beloved company.

And you and I may have conversations, at least until you drink yourself to incomprehension, but I'm talking about this very board.

You hate CE. The thing you've said about the people here would get be banned if I repeated it here. You're not here to make genuine connections with anyone on this board. You're here to gloat, you're hear to stir the pot, because I guarantee you turn your nose down at the users here too much to make any normal and genuine connection.

Because "user retention", in your mind, doesn't involve this board at all.

The only person you fool is yourself.

It is genuinely vile and revolting how you act, coming in here trying to slip into the crowd trying to act like you're being supportive, when in reality you contributed the most toxicity to this place, enabled people like tails, mocked neurodivergent people, ans the list goes on, it is disgusting how you're trying to play that off, you are one of the most disingenuous people here and your bootlicking will do jack shit

godspeed

I know, I just dont understand why not. If the site isnt profitable then the site dies. Its just common sense.

There are only a few choices here:

* Fandom modernizes the site and successfully attracts a newer and more younger userbase
* Fandom closes down the site because its unprofitable
The option of just leaving the site as is to slowly but surely wither away just doesnt exist. Its not an option.

I understand being anti-corporate. But I just dont understand wanting to be so anti-corporate that youd actually wish for this platforms demise. I mean, I love this place and I assume all of you do as well which is why Im behind the first bullet point and not the second one

Bro, fucking YOU wished for the demise of this platform. You can fuck all the way off with this obvious disingenuous bullshit.

The only time Sterolizer talked about growth of the site was on discord when he kept carrying on endlessly about ways to promote GameFAQs when everyone else was interested in talking about something different.

He also talked about it on his subreddit where he blamed "CE culture" for the decline of the site, while saying CE was run by incels.

Umbreon posted...

Sad thing is he's just using incel as a catchall term for anyone who is a shut-in, because the don't act like "normal" people. Which I'm sure it's normal to obsess over incels as much as he does

He's actually using it for another term that is an actual disorder that he would rightly get banned for talking about in a derogatory manner.

I talk about it all the time. There are damn near 500 topics on the old sex board where I just preach user aquisition strategy.

Because "user retention", in your mind, doesn't involve this board at all.

That is very true, as are most of the other things youve said. But Im still here to have genuine conversations. If you engage me, you get real answers.

I enjoy talking about business and marketing stuff. User aquisition, growing communities, retaining users these are things I do in real life, so of course Im going to care.

You can call that an odd hobby if you like, and many people have

Because it directly relates to the type of user that GameFaqs would have to target, and the type of user they would need to distance themselves fromand that leads into the type of discussion Im most known for.

One in which I have to be careful when talking about due to recent rule changes, and the removal of the sex board.

You use it. You like this place.

I also like the place. So I use it.

We all have our own topics of interest. Thats part of why I love GameFaqs. It allows you many different avenues to talk about lots of different topics.
That's good. Don't let them step on your pride.
It's absolutely hysterical that somebody who made a subreddit to bitch about gfaqs, then gave that subreddit over to people who have been regularly banned that he helped egg on, is trying to act like anybody is actually buying it when he tried to act like he cares.

Here's the very simple thing:

TC has the right to dictate what is done with content he has provided the site. If he has chosen to remove it because the management has done something he disagrees with then that is his right.

If that upsets anybody maybe they can ask what the management can do to instill faith in the people removing their content so that they put the content back up.

STERO, this topic isn't about you.

You know error you default to this line a lot. But the reality is, Im discussing the topic at hand. I gave TC a thoughtful reply.

Other people decided to derail the topic by switching the discussion to be about me instead. This has actually happened quite alot lately, and I usually ignore it and just continue to stay on topic.

Part of the reason I do, is because I know as soon as I actually reply to someone whos attempting to derail that conversation by bringing up personal things about me that have nothing at all to do with the discussion at hand

that youre going to jump at the chance to reply in this manner. Well done

Your "strategy" is removing anyone you don't see as ""normal"", and given your definition of that... I just don't recall you suggesting anything that would genuinely make new people want to join this site over the modern sites.

People aren't just waiting for CE to disappear before joining a relic of a site. There's no one going "Geez, I would join this site if only certain boards I have no reason to know exists just went away".

So what's your plan for actually getting fresh blood on an ad riddled site?

STEROLIZER posted...

You're tolerable when you're not talking about your obsession.

Problem is, that's pretty much all you do talk about these days. That's if you aren't trying to pick fights with people who aren't interested in fighting you just because you happen to be bored.

And then you come in acting like you're just one of the boys. Acting like you like and respect the same people who you called things I can't say here. You don't get to praise the destruction of this site and get to pal around the users of this site. That's not how this works.

Don't want to keep derailing this topic so I'll end with this.

Every bad thing Fandom does? Has your seal of approval on it.

Social boards get shut down? You wanted it.
All the boards get shut down? You wanted it.
Anyone who has their device ruined because they didn't have the good sense to use a adblocker? You wanted it ("Fandom has to make money somehow").

And when this site gets stripped to it bare essentials and gets turned into a tax write-off?

Don't complain, because it's what you asked for.

Back on the actual topic at hand.

The more guides that get removed, the less monetary value this site holds. Fandom seems to be under the delusional assumption that Gamefaqs should be treated like any other assest.

Fandom may have purchased this site, but this is our site. We the actual user base put Gamefaqs on the map, we the actual users are the reason so many gamers STILL look to this site for help with games.

Fandom legally 'owns' the site, but this is our house. If anyone wants to take their contributions and leave, more power to them.

Having a different opinion, even one as unpopular as mine isnt talking down too you can engage and Ill discuss. I enjoy talking about these things.

that very obvious insult to everyone's intelligence that everyone doesn't know your history.

I have a history of being a corporate shill going back to 2021. Its almost my entire GameFaqs identity.

Thats my history. Ive been preaching for modernization, and atttacting new users, appealing to a more normie audience as oppose to one thats entrenched in online culture.

Thats me. This whole Fanom reform, corporate salad stuff Ive been preaching that for years. Thats totally what Im about. Improving the platform, atttacting new people, and making the site profitable again.

That is my history. You can hate it, and if disagree with Fandoms changes, then you should hate. But I mean, i didnt suddenly create this persons to troll yall. This is quite literally my thing always has been.

What doesn't make sense? I don't owe anything to GameFAQs. If Fandom gets the ROI they want, I'm not going to look from afar after they destroyed the community and go "Man I am so happy for GameFAQs!" Anything more positive than complete apathy to that would be weird as shit.

None of us are part of the future they have planned. Look at... literally anything Fandom has ever done. All they do is ruin and destroy. I'm not making money off of it, so why should I have any positive feelings about it? Is it normal to have your heart warmed by the sight of corporations making profit?

What are you personally gaining by Fandom making money?

They interacted with me, would be a more accurate statement. Anytime they preached Trump or said something transphobic or bigoted I denounced them.

Should I have actually attempted to moderate that Reddit from the get go and curve that stuff before it got out of hand you betcha.

But I didnt have a crystal ball and I dont currently have a Time Machine. I didnt care enough to keep up with their drama, or CEs drama. I just did my own thing.

They were over their preaching conservative voices and raging against the woke boogeyman or whatever they called, and I was somewhere else talking about user aquisition strategy, and user age demographics.

Two completely separate things. Did I enable them through my apathyyea sure. Ill own that. Do I believe in any of the nonsense they preach nope.

Go ahead and criticize me, but do it on my own merit. Based on the things I say, and I preach. Im not part of some Reddit hive mind

So what's your plan for actually getting fresh blood on an ad riddled site?

  1. Mobile App
  2. Partnershio with game devs to provide promo codes & beta tests in exchange for pre-registration/installs
  3. Social Media Integration, and game streaming
  4. Influencer Marketing
  5. Exclusive Video Guides
  6. Ad Campaigns Paid User Aquisition
  7. Retention via push notifications and membership rewards program
  8. Paid Extroverted Community Managers
Among other things.

You're tolerable when you're not talking about your obsession.

Problem is, that's pretty much all you do talk about these days.

Thars true. All I talk about is how a certain type of user is keeping GameFaqs from growing and succeeding. Thats very true. But like. Why are we suddenly pretending that this isnt all I talk about, and Im sudden acting under some gimmick.

That's if you aren't trying to pick fights with people who aren't interested in fighting you just because you happen to be bored.


And then you come in acting like you're just one of the boys. Acting like you like and respect the same people who you called things I can't say here.

How would you prefer I act? Like a troll? Also Im not just going to assume the people Im talking too are the same type of people I rage about why would I do that? Why wouldnt I give people the benefit of the doubt?

You don't get to praise the destruction of this site and get to pal around the users of this site. That's not how this works.

I dont think the sites being destroyed. I believe the opposite. As Ive been preaching for the past three years.

Don't want to keep derailing this topic so I'll end with this.

Its already derailed. I responded to the derailing comments instead of ignoring them like I usually dobecause you were the one who made the comment. Not going to ignore my friends. Ill ignore everyone else. Just like I have been mostly.

Every bad thing Fandom does? Has your seal of approval on it.

I dont think they are bad. Theyre doing pretty much everything Ive been suggesting for years.
