I cant speak to the other stuff but you have a bunch of people making your images for free >_>

Yeah that's called "cost savings". Helps with the pitch, and keeps people here happy cause they get to participate. Pretty smart, yeah? I'm something of a people pleaser, after all!

They don't have to have money attached. We just like to see them.

While true, there are still costs associated with them. Code has to be updated, all the images made, analysis done to watch for cheating, etc. This costs more than the prize, honestly.

SBAllen has a home on Board 8 if he wants it. Come drift across the internet with us.

Thanks! Now that I don't have to have my Admin cap on whenever I look at this site, I might be able to enjoy it more again.

Thanks, everyone! I have mentioned contests to anyone who would listen, and I'm sure that those still actively working on the site like Dev and Zoop will keep fighting the good fight. I'll still be around, and I'll keep on suggesting a contest to people still at the company.

I'm not quite dead yet

Never see anyone talking about this group. I prefer Come Take My Hand, though.

I raised this concern in said meeting.

Just being transparent, my dude. Always have, always will. I really have no skin in this game as most of my day to day is focused on other brands now, but I'll always have a soft spot for GF so I keep involved here as much as I can.

Actually, 261 was the very first thing that came up in my very first discussion with the Fandom community team many months ago. They are aware of and (at least as of now) have not raised any concerns over CE.

Howdy all. Since the announcement is a little bit vague (as corporate announcements tend to be), I just wanted to hop in and chime in a bit more casually about why the board was closed.

The primary reason for the closure was an attempt to help align all of Fandom's newly acquired brands with the existing community guidelines that they already have for Fandom.com. Political boards on other brands like GameSpot were also shut down as well.

Generally, Fandom attempts to prevent communities being built specifically about politics. You can see an exerpt from here: https://www.fandom.com/community-creation-policy

"Wikis whose main purpose is to represent a political party, advocate for or against a political ideology, or generally opine regarding political issues;"

I originally had some hesitation about this idea when it was first brought up, but to be honest, board 261 was by far the biggest drain on our moderator resources across the whole site, and one of the boards that garnered the most complaints from users. In the end, I do agree that it makes sense not to have a board that specifically caters to one of the most notoriously divisive conversational topics known to man. By removing the board, we are actually helping the mod team as well.

Does this mean that boards like CE are also on the chopping block? Not at all. There are occasional political topics here, but this board is mostly just a hub to discuss anything and everything. We did raise the user level for this board as a temporary measure to prevent flooding from alts during this transitional period and after a few weeks or so, we'll poll the board and see how you all feel about lowering the level back down a bit or if you prefer the newer version.
