Lion_of_Gemini 11/28/21 12:10:22 AM #1:	There is no denying that this board has lost a significant amount of users in the past few years and the problem is only getting worse. In this topic, I was hoping we could all gather and discuss what could be done to change this. This website was once one of the most frequented in the world, the haven for nerd and gamer culture, and one of the greatest sites on the internet. Few could deny that it has lost that former glory.

gamer167 11/28/21 7:51:25 PM #19:	Lost cause. Youll never get the younger generation to come here en masse because Gamefaqs doesnt provide anything that they are interested in. Back in the day people came here for walkthroughs/guides, cheats, to ask questions on games, etc. You can get all of that same info from way more popular places like Reddit, YouTube, etc. As far as the message boards go the most popular social boards like CE are flooded with politically polarized bitter and toxic old men who do nothing but argue and claim its the other guy whos the real problem. CE isnt even enjoyable to be on anymore. Ive been coming here off and on out of habit for 15 years, and now as Im coming up on my 30s Im seriously contemplating just letting go because I see no positive reason to come here anymore. <cite>gamer167 posted [p:960439316] in What can w...
