Hey now, Fandom is a premiere supplier of plagiarized, unmaintained wikis boosted with SEO and flooded with ads on every page. Pretty sure society would have collapsed already without it.

Going from peak GameFAQs to the mess of Fandom wikis in 20 years as the main point of user-maintained written guidance for video games is quite the decline. And now we're being absorbed into the Borg. **** me.

And yes there's Reddit and Youtube now, but for a lot of games written stocks of easily referencable info are very useful.

If B8 disappears, I disappear along with it

Unless you're one of the like four B8ers who've been friends with me on Facebook I guess

This, basically. I left B8's Discord last summer and burned bridges with a few people in the process, including the creator of it.

Wouldn't be surprised if these forums are KO'd within the next 3 years at the rate Fandom is going.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not a bias free area. I wish that weren't the case. b8 has obviously been instrumental in my life and it'll kinda be sad when it's all over.

While true, I accept the repercussions of my voluntary departure from the Discord and won't pin it on anyone. It wasn't a good situation and I could've handled it better.

I'm friends on Facebook with a few (Swift, Stifled, Ulti, ExTha, Aria, YoBlazer, etc) and that's perfectly fine in the event this board goes under.

Discord is good at what it is, but it's not a message board and would be a terrible replacement.
There is a message board mode that works basically the same as here. But it has different quirks than what we are used to here. Still, it's a good option.

Even though when I left it was voluntary and unrelated to why I can't go back, if this board did vanish I'd like to keep up with a few people at least.

I took my once-every-couple-years trip to the game boards because of this post and I got like 15 posts into this topic before bailing. It didn't even get to anybody referencing the Steam forums.

What an angry, hateful group that is.

For me the top topic showed is the Eiyuden Chronicle "I've been reading and they say the localization is terrible" one, the OP starts with imgur screenshots of a comment on Steam Forums (it's actually an imgur album embed, the "DEI activist" comment is on the 2nd slide)

I'm seeing timeouts for people saying stuff. I don't know anymore, I got purgatory for a couple of months and only came back because I like talking about video games more than I dislike the direction things have taken here.

This is also the top topic on the nintendo switch board.

Again, fandoms goal here wasn't to make this a safe place. It was to make sure bigots couldn't properly have their worldview questioned.

Its a warped view of the term inclusivity.

Pretty much. If Magic The Gathering says something stupid, we're not supposed to talk about it. But they can complain about diversity all they like.

I mean, yeah it's like case study #234756 of conservative techbro "inclusivity" which is just the newest brand of "you can't call out my speech but I can call out yours" previously, and still, known as "cancel culture."

The thing is, the solution for this was the moderation system that was already in place.

Instead they've decided to extend this stupidly onto everyone with weird loopholes.

And doing it all under the guise of supposedly being more inclusive(There is nothing "inclusive" about this at all)..
