Why not just migrate to another board if CE doesn't fit your needs? There's PotD, RI, the Couch, etc. Why did you guys pop a squat on CE in the first place? (and don't say because it has the word "Current Events" >_> Anyone who spent at least a few months on GFAQs should know that that is not CE's focal point lol. Like how PotD isn't about the Poll of the Day)


Because there was more overlap from people posting on 261 and here.

We migrated to Realpolitik then that got shut down too. After that didnt seem worth it to try and find another home. CE fits well enough for what many assume is not much time left on these boards.

There were several. WikiCEdia, WikiFAQs, GameFAQsArchive. But they all shut down like a decade ago

The ToS doesn't change from one board to the next. What's bannable on one board is bannable on the other.

De jure: Yes

De facto: No

If you said half the stuff on CE that gets mentioned on the regular on say, the sex and dating board, you would get suspended.

Well CE stands for current events, and it always had a few political topics (notwithstanding its more usual shitposting usage).

The deletion of all political boards by Fandom, has meant that political threads are now here rather than the defunct 261.

It does seem trolls get modded here far more often then what happened on 261. Despite the claim that 261 monopolized the mods time, it really felt like they largely expected users to utilize the ignore feature.

I must have missed whatever event led to 261... I do remember when CE got split into Light and Dark and half the users assigned to just one and ya couldn't visit the other side... or was it Yin and Yang? There was a lotta goofin back before Gamespot took over.

Hmm, whilst I didn't witness 261s last days (I'm inconsistent when it comes to my GameFAQs habit), I can't recall many 261 utilising the block feature. Debate, whether honest or trolling was the point, and refusing to engage definitely meant taking a L.

First time I've encountered being blocked was here on CE.

Undoubtedly some 261 users deserved criticism, but they were rarely snowflakes at least.

Not so much outright block, but you had to know which people to never take serious, always posting the same extremist shit. Here there's been a lot of moments where I see a poster doing that and then suddenly there's a topic about how they're in purgatory.

Oh of course, reported a few myself. Far less than I should have done because it was funnier to just own them. Who didn't enjoy sending Pooh packing back in the day?

Naturally the ones coming straight out with the racial slurs, left one with no choice I feel.

My experience here thus far says differently. I see topics here every day that are much worse than what 261 was allegedly shut down for.

I think that might be a wider website change of policy?

Wasn't engaged for some months, but I've noted several accounts that were repeatedly in purgatory are now outright banned.

Many weren't 261 accounts either.

Sure, but that's a closed board of veteran members.

Certainly naughty boys and girls back in the day, but I suspect they don't cause too much drama in the present.

When I say I havent been here in a long time... I mean a looong time... a couple of decades. It used to be the popular social board cuz this is where CJayC and the mods would show up most nights to start a big party topic. There was only this and LUE back then... None of the regional stuff. Is there a modlist somewhere? I'd love to see who is still on the job all this time later.

Yeah Sailor Bacon was one of the more socially active mods back then... I got him banned by manipulating automod one time but Ceej fixed it in a jiffy. It was still a good flex. Everyone got into a lot of what was described as "backboard shenanigans" in those days. R.I.P. Scum.
