Do you think Gamefaqs will survive?


Esportstalk says after the spawn of social media with various platfoms, online forums are now going by the wayside after the sale of online forum ResetEra sold to MOBAFire.

They said outside of Gamefaqs, online forums are now going the way of guides with the rise of discord and reddit to build a community for gamers.

This sale however just reinforces the dying forum webspace and why this sale of the online forum could be the beginning of the end

ResetEra which was a forum rebrand of NeoGAF that was used by several prominent members of the gaming industry such as Jeff Bell from Microsoft, was one of the first forums where users could create accounts and make topics to discuss gaming news and other off topic discussions.

Many of the members will brush up against more conservative members of the gaming community as neo-puritan and social justice bullies before they made their safe space on the internet

Despite this, the forums remained a valuable resource for those interested in gaming news at least

MOBAFire bought ResetEra who are informing users that they would join the new website and overall it seems as though the community is mostly positive on the news and MOBA Network sees this acquisition as a useful community resource for discussing video game news while allowing them to moderate itself independently.

While that is good news for many, it will be interesting to see what if the new owners will do in the future if the community starts to diminish as it has in many other gaming forum communities such as IGN and Gamespot.

Do you think Gamefaqs will survive?

Discord absolutely sucks for discussing a variety of topics. Most channels other than the meme-sharing or general chat channels go completely unused or are used very rarely.

Forums like this are a way more interesting way to keep up with the conversations of the day. I hate the constant motion of a chat channel, especially a crowded one.

I assure you, it is. At least for my personal tastes, pretty much every Discord I've entered that wasn't just a small meeting place for like 10-20 friends has been garbage.

Right. What's the worse that could happen? It's not like they would strip the soul out of it.

They'd have to strip the people making the rules and leave them tied up on a beach full of ants covered in milk and honey. It's the worst run place I've visited in the 20 years I've been on these sites. You can't even use a gmail or yahoo email to register. It has to be some personal shit like your xfinity email that contains your real name. Who does that

Reddit is awful. Anything with an upvote/downvote system that influences where topics and comments appear is just terrible. There's so much jockeying for upvotes and attention, and so many people just outright steal jokes and popular comments just to karma-farm.

It's such an annoying system.

I hate upvotes and attention-seeking behavior. That's really far from 'everything.' I can name off dozens of things I absolutely love, if you'd like.

I completely agree. Even Reddit's format is a pain in the arse. I'm team Message Board all the way.

As bad as this place is, if my only choices for "community" end up being Discord or Reddit, I'll just stop interacting with people online.

It'll suck being alone again pre-2001, but the alternative is far worse.

Chat rooms are fine for ad-hoc discussions but not for anything that persists multiple days. Reddit fulfils the multiple-days thing but neuters discussion with their trash ordering system
i just dont understand what people see in discord and shit like tik tok. Whats wrong with a traditional forum?

The posting structure makes it difficult to follow anything based on time. Even if you sort by "new" there are still different conversations going on at once in one topic. Also, the nature of Reddit makes topics die rather quickly. Unless you post in an extremely small subbreddit, making a post 24 hours after a topic's creation (usually even less than that) is usually a pointless exercise because barely anyone will read it.

Yeah been lurking here since 99. There is nothing like a good ole traditional forum. I've discovered so many forums and ways to communicate online over the years. I oddly keep coming back to this place. It's like my virtual hometown I can always go back to that hasn't hardly changed.

As Gamefaqs posters die off, eventually this place will too. Barely anyone new comes here.

There may still be decades left. But eventually gamefaqs will close due to not enough people using it to make it worth keeping around
