Indeed. There's no reason to specify that he's leaving them in particular, but they got singled out. Not surprising, given that everyone hates Fandom.

not hard to throw in like a, "is this post offensive" or something and the bit wouldn't have any weird bias

The way there wasn't really anything said about a direct replacement or the future of the site in general makes me wonder if they're viewing the site as being in "maintenance mode" now
Would probably want to ask Devin that although the fandom guy DToast seems to be running the show now based on inferring a post he made on Hardcore about CE last month.

and at the same time, allen is the one who decided read-only to regular-user feedback tickets

and when you get shit like "it will just end up banned eventually anyways so i'm gonna just get it over with", you get someone who is dead sick and tired of everyones toxic as fuck behavior here and it's started to rub off on him

He ran *GameFAQs* for 15+ years. That indicates very little about aptitude.

I could see Fandom keeping the forums around for a long time and probably merging all of the FAQ contributions into their site (for worse or worser)

But the forums only serve as a vehicle to generate money thru ads, right? Otherwise the forums dont make money(?)

It is no secret that the only reason Red Ventures sold Gamespot/GameFAQs is because it wasn't making them enough money to keep investing in it. I doubt Fandom is going to get rid of the ONLY thing that potentially makes money on the site.

It's a wiki hosting site that pretty much took over Wikia and plastered the pages with ads and a shitty layout that works like crap on mobile. I think it's partly people reflexively hating them for that (which is fair lol) and part genuine concern that the overlap between game wikis and FAQs will make them see GF as expendable.


? Fandom literally is Wikia. They just changed their name.

I think so? They had the same management as Wikimedia (Wikipedia's parent brand) before they all left around 2010. That was probably when everything started going to hell.

Yes. The original format was called monobook. Then they gave the new format once they removed that. Then they removed that and gave us the current shit one which is why I barely edit anything anymore.
