Isnt it wild lmao

Literally WHO is horny for Mark Zuckerberg show them to me NOW

Like I even saw the photo and was like damn, this dude is taking care of himself, nice

I think they should require mods to attach their names to the moderations because I need to know who was like Shit. This violates the new rules. I cant control myself.

Mark Fuckerberg

TIL that gfaqs mods are robosexuals

Wow. Jen really woke up this morning and said "I think I'll sexually objectify Mark Zuckerburg today." For shame.

I didn't know it but I'm glad a mod was here to set me right

Only the most wholesome content belongs on my good Christian GameFAQs.

Didn't you used to be a mod, too, or am I tripping? It's been a while

Maybe they're hoping to drive away obviously female users to cut down on the amount of harassment from socially inept thirsty dudes they have to deal with.

I mean, let's be real... it came across as hornyposting. I just wasn't aware subtle horny posting was moddable as long as it wasn't graphic

This should be modded for mentioning human touch. That's horny posting.

Yep, stopped being one just as Fandom started taking over.

Funny thing is, I could tell the whole Fandom thing was going to be a shit show within the first week. Red ventures never talked to the mod staff. Like, at all. And I was a mod the whole time they owned GameFAQs. Fandom started installing their people immediately, and trying to push Allen out of GameFAQs as fast as possible.

the zuck gettin people bricked up

wild times

Well, Timmy seems like he would admire Zuck at least.

What the heck is hornyposting and why is it wrong?

It's wrong because it brings life into a dying forum. Oh wait. Something seems wrong about this...

What the heck is hornyposting

If the main point of a post is to objectify an individual based on their looks, it's not allowed.

Melody_JR posted...

Because CE had some hornyposting topics and Fandom really loves to see CE slowly die.
It is one of their many experiments before they close all social boards.

I mean let's be real, this website has been effectively dead for a while. It's unfortunate that they won't let it die naturally. This is so heavy handed.

Thankfully, some of the peeps around here know how to find me. I will say if they're so keen on killing the forums, I'll be sure to take my guides down, too. Most of them are not for big games, but the notion should not be lost.

I mean, your implied sarcasm aside, feet topics are pretty much the definition of hornyposting, because they're basically jerk-off bait for foot fetish weirdos.

The motivating logic is probably the same logic the site used to have originally - if something is inappropriate for a younger user, it shouldn't be on a site that exists to discuss video games.

The site used to have a little leeway because you had to be at least 12 to make an account here, and enforcement has gotten a lot more slack over the years because the user base was getting older and older in general so the people running things were willing to allow a bit more "mature" content, but Fandom clearly wants to try and start pulling in more younger users (and honestly, they probably need to if they actually want to keep the site alive), so it looks like they're going to try and start trying to make things more "family friendly" again.

The problem is they're not likely to actually pull in younger users because the site design has been obsolete for nearly 20 years, so all they're really doing is chasing off existing users in a desperate attempt to bring in new users that will never come (sort of the same thing the comic book industry has been doing over the last decade or so).

Wtf is deltas entire late night posts series about other than hornyposting?

CE had a feet topic.
It got locked minutes after the announcement.

You know, it wouldn't actually be that hard to turn GameFAQs into a multi-purpose wiki site instead of being oriented more around published FAQs and guides. A single site with community-generated wikis for (nearly) every game is actually something that the modern Internet would value (and in some ways what Fandom as a whole is trying to be, to pretty much everyone's chagrin because their sites are awful), saving the need to search for different wiki pages for different games and possibly even posing a real challenge to official wikis run by studios themselves (the convenience of having everything in one spot is hard to compete with, provided the GameFAQs versions of wikis aren't completely incompetent compared to official versions, as is often what happens now with Fandom wikis). Toss in better integration with modern social media and maybe some sort of Likes/Upvotes system (as much as I don't care for it, people expect that sense of validation from their social media these days and not having it huts the platform), and you've got something that might gain traction among younger users.

Except, of course, it's a given that Fandom's efforts to make that shift would inevitably just make the site more like the wikis they already have (which is... bad. Very bad.), plus developing GameFAQs to be the definitive wiki destination would undermine all of the other wikis they've bought out, so I don't think it's particularly likely that they'll actually make any such improvements. The biggest value owning GameFAQs has to Fandom is that they can take any guide content users create/have created for this site and copy it to more successful wiki pages to divert GameFAQs-bound traffic there.

I'm going to be honest, some of those wikis are part of the reason why I haven't used a FAQ on this site in about 15 years.

The problem with FAQs is that most of them here are kind of shit. And even the good ones are usually more awkward to navigate than a wiki. Between wiki sites and YouTube walkthrough and tip videos, you'll generally get all of the info (and more) that you would ever get from a FAQ here, in a more efficient form.

It doesn't help that most of the really skilled FAQmakers of yore (like A_I_e_x) aren't really making FAQs anymore, and they haven't really been replaced by anyone of comparable skill. So GameFAQs is already mostly coasting off of decades old FAQs as-is.

As designed the system is supposed to supplement well-written FAQs with a message board system where you can ask more obscure questions that aren't answered in a FAQ. But with most FAQs being substandard and most game boards being incredibly antisocial and unhelpful, GameFAQs doesn't really offer anything anymore that can't be gotten elsewhere better and more efficiently. Even Fandom's wikis are generally better.

And all of this probably isn't helped by the fact that the younger generation generally just looks on Google (or uses Alexa/Siri/etc) to ask a specific question, then follows whatever the first link they find to the answer (I know my 20-something nephew does this), which generally just points them to wiki pages or YouTube videos. So even if the answers are here on GameFAQs, the target audience they're looking for is never going to find them, and never going to care.
