Yeah I think once CE is nuked along with sports boards, I'm out of here.

To close the religion board is stupid and unnecessary, I'm not a religious person BUT that doesn't mean I'm against it having its own board.

The closest thing you might get to a warning is seeing several recent topics locked on a board. If that happens it's time to play this theme:

if fandom is going to totally destroy every aspect of the broader community that does not strictly pertain to gaming, the least they could do is divest the data to sballen to run a standalone website or something

if they don't care about the concerns of the longstanding userbase, they don't deserve our traffic

The fact that they are not even saying why they are closing boards randomly shows just how much ill will Fandom seems to have for this site.

See this is what I thought. Much bigger move than shitting down some Community boards that are mostly self-run. Not minimalizing the removal of the private boards.

Not to mention you have a million subreddits for any kind of horny posting you could want. It's like an extension of Rule 34, where if porn exists for something, it will have its own subreddit. :P

They'll sell the site for a $1 as part of a package deal to whoever they can find to offload the site. The sale will likely be used as a tax write off.

I dont think the old mods have the power to do anything about it which is why nothing is stopping all these boards being shut down.

It was also no accident the religion board was shut down on Passover, they did that on purpose.

Rules were updated. Nothing against religion being a banned topic, but the board was shut down for unspecified reasons.

It's okay though. Not a lot of users were affected.

Sounds like they're just going to be closing a bunch of social boards for no reason.

If Current Events gets closed down I'm probably leaving this site. The console/game boards are toxic af.

I'm honestly surprised that they and the Sex boards were allowed it to continue for this long.
Anyhow, my theory is that they are going to nuke all of the non-topical social boards because this will make their stupid new rules much easier to follow and enforce, while leaving CE, at least for some time (8~9 months at least) as a containment zone for all of the social board talk. Plus, Timmy has been pretty clear that Fandom wants all Gamefaqs message board discussion to be relevant to videogames and gaming-related subjects.

Yeah that's lame, Now I do wonder if the sports and wrestling boards are safe.

I doubt those will be deleted very soon since they aren't intimately linked to politics. OTOH Religion, History, Ethics/Philosophy, and Paranormal/Conspiracy are nearly impossible to talk about without involving politics.

So anyhow, if there is anything you want to archive from the History or Paranormal/Conspiracy boards, now is the time to do it.

Well rip GFs they keep nuking any place that could possibly be controversial.

I've noticed conversations in general have been more tightly moderated with anything that might be misconstrued as trolling getting zapped.

I was an admin of the sex board early on and decided I didn't really want to continue as one since the content there was often borderline and I already had drama on another board. I helped them get some things in place though.
