Any thoughts on how Gamefaqs forum system holds up in the era of Reddit? I find it interesting considering how dominant forums were back in the old days, but nowadays a subreddit can be founded out of nothing and a year later it will be 1 million subscribers strong. Gaming seems to be very popular on that site and I find the feel and community of game subreddits to be very different than it is here (hence why I still come here even after I had a very avid redditor phase).

It has to be hard to compete with that yeah?

Is it true that CjayC once implemented an auto-suspend system only to be suspended by said system.

"KoS" is an antiquated concept. We only have a few routine troublemakers that are just handled on an as-is needed basis. Also if you guys still believe that Hoth is making all of the alts, I have a bridge that I'd like to sell you.

@ Zodd3224 you've been vindicated


How you like me now @ Kineth


Not very much since I called you that due to you defending some of those alts.

Actually, I don't think I have a steady opinion on you overall.


I didnt defend any of them. You're making that up. All I said was that Hey, Franklin, etc were not Hoth alts.


Ok, well I don't really care about it that much, tbh. I'm sorry for upsetting you over it.

Your answer is probably is wrong. A lot of current users with high AMP these days post in storage topics. Meaning they post in the same topic right before it archives/purges to maximize the longevity of the topic. While he has posted in a lot of topics board hunters back in the day would post in a lot more unique topics which is what the question asked. Slayer could still have beaten them out but I feel like it'd be someone like guwa who posted in a lot more different topics than the same ones.

I'd guess either Guwa or Dark_Koopatrol. Both were active board hunters back in the day guwa moreso during the peak iirc but Dark_Koopatrol has his board and has stayed active whereas Guwa hasn't been really active in recent years. Could be someone else like from CE but those are my guesses.

Did @guwa actually get a life outside of gamefaqs? Big if true.

I mean if so good for him though. Seemed like a nice enough guy even though it was weird seeing him everywhere

You never specified active posts in your question. Guwa posted a lot more years ago

Nope but board hunters back in the day were trying to post in different topics in all of the dead boards whereas someone like Slayer just keeps the same topics alive and posts in them for his AMP. That's not to say that's all he does/posts but it's mainly why his amp is so high.

I got one more question for ya when you have the time SBAllen, for awhile I could never figure out how to filter in Games in JAPAN-ONLY to just be JAPAN-ONLY without it's English Counterpart. Is there a way to remove the English types out of a JAPAN-ONLY search?

Here is a example of what I mean:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/nes/category/999-all?region=2

As you can see I have it set to the Japan Region, but I still get english results of games that did make it to the west, but I rather not have duplicates of titles that don't constitute it being a JAPAN-ONLY title. It makes it slightly hard to find titles that are strictly Japanese Only when doing a region search.

He's salaried so technically he does. He just tends to avoid working on the weekend, like a normal person.
