Are they even still hornyposting there? I thought they had now all turned on Stellar Blade because they added .01 cm of cloth to a costume so now it was garbage. They have a petition and everything!

Blanket ban on a nebulous "objectification" is doing a lot of work there (even if I agree with it in theory)
This is all redundant with stuff already covered in offensive and then hits "no objectification" which best i can tell is the "post like you are 12" rule

They want a mainstream win. They want something that can be the mascot of Gamergate, with commercial success, to own the woke libs. Preferably they want a developer that openly decries all gaming news outlets and actively states they are anti censorship. They also want the game to score poorly at major publications for their narrative, because if woke gaming outlets score it well that means something is wrong.

They found out this week that the people at Shift Up are just normal people who are horny and it's devestated them.

It makes sense to me. Corporate overlords have 'reason' to close boards related to Religion, Sexuality, etc. Who knows what drama might be brewing in those dens of inequity? People might be expressing opinions!

B8 being contest-themed is actually helpful in this regard. That theme is too boring to worry about.
This board is ostensibly about game contests and game character contests. So we've looped around to being more topical than social boards like RI, which from Fandom's point of view serve no purpose to exist if they're more than 1 degree separated from video games.

Are they aware they're a product past its prime? Everyone sells to people who jump up and down for Fortnite and Among Us, now.

All those opinions they have just make them unpalatable to the mainstream marketing... not sure what's convincing them otherwise besides sheer delusion.

Discusses the illegal or recreational use of drugs


It's funny to me that they are this vague on "drugs" but extremely specific about horny posting.

Hold on a second.

Discusses the illegal OR recreational use of drugs

Meaning that technically we can get modded for talking about caffeine, cool cool cool (jokes on you, I just switched to decaf).

Yeah thats obviously not what it meant but it does further show a general lack of care and thought into writing these rules now.
I just decided to change this sig.

btw I've asked and there are 0 plans to close Board 8 at all

Now granted corporate guys above Toast could turn around and hand out a new edict tomorrow, but just based on what has been flagged up, the ones closed today are the final closures that will take place
Ask Timmy about it. Toast basically has as much power as Sballen does right now.

I mean this is just the way pearl-clutchers talk about drugs in all areas of life. I don't think it's much different from the way the rule has been since the early 2000s.

User rules got updated. "8. Hornyposting" is hilarious. Especially since all this shit was approved at a corporate level.


No mention of politics in the updated User Content Rules. At least they added hornyposting to the rules.

Popular at school, but not as cool as azuarc , Guru Champ!
Nobody remembers that there's been an LGBT board since 2010 (it was originally a private board), so that's still up. But also nobody posts there because nobody remembers it exists.
Change is weird.
Was there a problem with calling it "overly sexualized content"? Sure it's still vague, but it's so much less cringe than "hornyposting".

Can drop the overly word. We cant even approach mentioning things as slightly sexual content.

Which is a really weird line to draw when I'm pretty sure the most popular game last year let the player fuck half the cast immediately upon meeting. But dont objectify them at all.
"If anyone questions your sexuality, that's moddable!"
"Don't post details about your sexuality. We'll mod that!"

I guess that kind of balances out. Though it's dumb.

The rules, especially as they are being enforced, you cant move beyond the lowest level of discussion on the subject.
Anyway someone asked:

Heres mr timmy on the main fandom "community" page.

https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User:TimmyQuivy?useskin=fandomdesktop

This pretends to be a community but the only community it has is a painful to read general forum for help with wikis.

Despite being technical, it looks like few people from fandom actually help and they rely on regular users to respond in a godawful ui that i have no idea how anyone follows. Timmy made about as many posts on GFAQs in the week than hes averaged on this site in the last few years.

Every wiki he references to enjoying posting on is dead except the one about cameras. It gets a couple posts a week. Doubtful timmy is involved.
I also got curious and joined the fandom community discord.

Its...less active than b8 discord.
Fandom is like a web service that went through the enshittification life cycle, except it started out enshittified and just got worse.

I'm not surprised. Your statements earlier in the topic about stealing content, etc, are spot on. Don't need any community if all you do is leech off of other people on the internet.

Yeah exactly, there is no Fandom community.

By less active I mean outside the occassional people dropping in for help with their wikis and then bouncing out, we're talking like 6 social posts a day.

Let's take over the Fandom discord and turn it into our new forum. Then the B8 discord can stay strictly for chat.

Honestly, I'm not sure anyone would notice.

My guess is they have private channels for admins because this is possibly a generation of leadership that is younger than the average age of GFAQs.

So uh, is there still a Board Eight 2 or something similar?

I don't care about the Discord, I'd like to have an actual message board replacement (a traditional replacement, not Reddit). Even if it's dead, I'll take it, as long as political discussion is allowed.

Did did they really not include a rule on politics after all that noise?
Politics is implemented as "no politics" but they decided to not put that rule in for some reason.
"First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed.
The answer to why is that they are all a bunch of incompetent techbros with no idea how to actually approach politics so they don't put anything in anywhere.
"First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed.
They have the same approach in their several year old set of rules on their discord. No politics is a rule but there is only a note on the implementation of the rule at the bottom of the rules and its not actually in the set of rules.
