The mods are smashing F5 harder than Captain Kirk smashes alien females, waiting for the topic to go far enough for a lock.

Huh, DToast deleted his old post and replaced it. Anyone remember what it originally said or what changed?

What does DToast stand for?
Im getting such heavy DarkRoast vibes from it.

An extreme cold warning.

This is hilarious, he had the same intro copy/pasted on giantbomb, Fandom, and comicvine and I was assuming he was just meming. He fixed those too. Would have been better off embracing it.

Also it means he's at least reading these topics.

Yeah, could have been his catch phrase banning people. Like "I live in the extreme cold that is Minnesota, but at least I'll still be able to post on gamefaqs, unlike you."

Or Allen mentioned it to him. Or he re-read it himself for whatever reason.

Damn straight. I work outside. Lost feeling in the tip of my dick today.

I think that only works for updates, not new guides.

They still need a human to put a new guide in the right spot I guess.

Good luck to the new Admin.

I completed the game, but all I got was this lousy life in the extreme cold that is Minnesota.

At this point, I really shouldnt be surprised by the mass reaction of the CEmen to a normal person, doing normal thingslike professionally introducing themselves online. But at last, Im actually suprised.

Its common practice for the public facing employees of a company to fully dox themselves, especially during a change of ownership. Game Devs, Comicbook Writers, and yes even Website admins are fully doxxed.

In most cases it is an afterthought, because its just such a normal thing to do. Heck, its industry standard.

This gross over reaction to an employee politely introducing himself is just a sign of how out of date GameFaqs has truly become, and how important it is to modernize the site.

To our new Admin DToast, I apologize for the brash welcome you have received thus far, and and want you to take solace in know that not all of GameFaqs follows the posting culture set forth by Current Events and some of GameFaqs other, more hardcore, niche communities.

In 2011 the poll of the day averaged 120k+ votes, and was ranked #81 on Alexa.com fir total web traffic. Those users were largely normal well functioning adults, it just so happened that as they aged further into adulthood, they also took on more adult responsibilities, and thus posted less.

This allowed, the very small niche of users that never really met any of their adult milestones to post more. An unfortunate byproduct of that is the vibe of the Current Events board.

Unfortunately, as time has gone on and user acquisition efforts to attract new, younger, more modern userbase have failed (or frankly never got off the ground in the first place), the older Average Joe audience that only games occasionally have deterred off the site bit-by-bit, year after year.

Without the aforementioned users being acquired to replace them, it means that the ratio of normal everyday adult gamers towellCEmen (which is what we call users who frequent this board) have kind of equaled out.

Its actually about 50/50 now. Current Events would to believe they are now the majority of the daily active users, but they arent yet. Just go reference the Valentines Day Poll of the Day from last week, that shows 40% of GameFaqs users have a significant other.

The normal, Ad Revenue producing, audience still exists, and can be grown. They just need to be catered to a bit more. Im positive that Fandom can do it, and so wish you all the best of luck!

To rest of CE, Im not suprised by your reaction, but I am disappointed in itand that in of itself suprises me.

"How dare CE treat the new admin the same way they would treat any othe high profile new user? Anywhere, here's business tips from a guy with zero experience and a penchant for not following rules."

Haven't seen such blatant ass kissing since the last adult video I saw. And even they knew when to stop.

The new admin must be Sterolizer's stepbrother.

Mine or his?
CE didn't react to this new Admin any differently than could have been expected, outside the couple of people we expect that shit from.
He came in, got razzed a bit, and will likely be "icy cold minnesota" guy going forward.

Can we crowdfund the retirement of the entire admin and lead mod team? /s

This topic continues to deliver.

Janeway is the only captain worth anything, everyone else was a weak scrub.

Everybody knows that, but it was still Kirk that got a space record in getting alien STDs.
