I could find other forums to post on I guess, but after the last 14 years here I've grown... fond of this community.

Something like Discord might make sense but Ive never used it. If spinoff sites/boards are a same thing, maybe one of those?

Can't confirm if true but I read a while ago some users still active here backed up or removes all their guides to host them elsewhere.

The Discords tend to split and die quickly, but that seems to be the best route.

We can make a CE discord. But a complete titular CE one, not like the myriad of smaller side CE discords, each with its own clique. A FULL CE discord.

who would rule such a place? A gamefaqs poster is bound to ban someone he/she doesnt like. Its too much power. On the opposite side, if its unmoderated or laxly moderated it could devolve into 4chan quick. Imagine pics of bok Chois leaked brussel sprout pics being spammed, things like that.

also, to repeat my point, discords are a chat format, and the reason this place is special its because it has a message board format

Yeah this place is special for being old timey slow paced forum.

Reddit and Discord style are nice in their own respects, but won't be a replacement for these message boards.

I've been lurking gamefaqs forums for like 23 years now geeeeeze.

I'd imagine it as being somewhat more lax than this place with regards to cursing/insults/whatever and the subjects that can or cannot be discussed, though maybe not to the extent that 4chan is?

As for who could run it, I'm not sure. I'd like to think I could be impartial in a position like that, but I can sympathize with users here who wouldn't trust me with that lol

It wouldnt be easy for sure, yet yes Im sure there are folks out there who are able to transcend their political opinions or biases in general and try to maintain an as neutral as possible stance. The problem would be sheer volume, it would take quite a few chaps. It would be hard, and of course not the same as neatly clear posts one after the other, but it could work. At least as a means for chaps to keep in touch once CE ends.

Edit : Error at some point made a server like that, but wasnt able to give it the launching spark that would have made it work, and also filtered entries, which is the best way to obtain either an umpteenth clique, or a dead server. It ended being the latter.
