Will you feel better if CE falls too?


If yall keep complaining about the other board closing and flood this board with politic topics then that could likely happen. Could you stop?

Let us look at this from the perspective of fandom

The goal of this website for Fandom is to make them money.

In order to make money there needs to be users on this site. In 2010 an average poll of the day got 120k average votes, and the average user age was 24 withers there being lots of diversity both above and below that number. In the modern era the average engagement of a PotD is 5k, and the average age of a user is 40, and there are less than 2% of users under the age of 24.

In order for Fandom to make money they need to reengage all of the normie users that outgrew GameFaqs. They need to do this while also attracting new (younger) users to the platform.

Current Events is very niche. Its neither a demographic that can be sold to advertised or leveraged to reengage old users, nor acquire new ones.

However, since this community is comprised of the most active, dedicated, and influential GameFaws users, it definitely does set the vibe for the rest of the site. The Current Events message board is typically a trail blazer for the ebb & flow of the site, and historically has influenced the administration in regards to which direction to move the platform forward.

In that regard this community might be (rightfully) attributed the blame for why the site is currently so hard to monetize, and growth has significantly stunted/decreased.

To Fandom this community might just be expendable enough to take the risk of deleting it for the purpose of resetting the vibe/ambiance/atmosphere back to a clean slate.

Yeah I could see it becoming too rowdy at some point after they gain the attention of Fandom management. There is going to be some changes long term to appeal to the younger user base eventually.

Nah, but if it does I understand. I'll bail on this site, I've tried other popular communities and they don't click like CE. This is the only forum keeping me here.

You calling someone else a troll is like the devil calling someone a sinner or like Chris Christie calling someone fat.

Hope that analogy isn't too much for your underage mind to comprehend.

You are not capable of hurting my feelings because for as much as a troll as you are you're not very good at it. There are users on this site who have gotten under my skin but your childish antics are too pathetic to pull that off.
