TC, just create your own web site and upload your guides there. You can even monetize them yourself with (hopefully non intrusive) banner ads and make money from your own work instead of fandom.

Personally I'd recommend everybody remove all their guides before fandom tries to do some bullshit like quietly revise the terms of service to say that by continuing the post you forfeit all rights to ownership of your guides to fandom. As I have said before in other topics, I dunno if I could actually go through with doing that. One reason should be painfully obvious on why.

I know, I just dont understand why not. If the site isnt profitable then the site dies. Its just common sense.nothing Fandom is doing is actually modernizing the site and it won't be successful in attracting a newer and younger user base, because younger people don't use message boards or FAQs and are not ever going to be interested in using message boards, because they use social media and youtube and wikis. we don't wish for this platform's demise or for it to slowly but surely wither away. we are just not on board with Fandom's changes, because all that they are going to do is hasten the demise and hasten the withering away. --- It don't matter.

The internet archive is a thing. They accidentally lost a bunch of guides when they did a server migration 10+ years ago. That's the only way to read them now.Internet archive keeps getting into hot water over copyrighted content. They have a pending lawsuit or two that might change the way they operate.

Does Neoseeker take maps? Yes they do. They tend to scoop up my maps the moment they are posted here, or they did. I dunno if they still do, or how far back they stopped at. I think they asked me if they could host one map, and I guess that opened the door for them to host all my other stuff.

Maybe someone will be able to answer, but why exactly does this have to be a site restricted to just video game content? If increasing the userbase is the idea, then it would make sense for the site to be more social. I also don't see a younger audience being attracted to the site unless the site was modernized itself: video guides, profile avatars, updated layout, etc.

If I have one there I haven't logged into it in over 15 years. It is a thought for sure. I've been weighing different options for alternatives just in case. But you gotta understand. I have several thousand maps, and it would take a very long time to upload all of them.

Luigi_and_Tails 04/30/24 6:13:41 PM #141: |
Some interesting thoughts here. Whilst I am a Tails, I'm not that Tails. I still do a double-take when I see someone mention Tails and think "aw fuck, what have I done now?"
I've loved this community since I joined 21 years ago. I don't see a reason to turn my back on it, and whilst I never really commented on politics, I did like to read various viewpoints and laugh at some of the arguments. As a mod I obviously saw the worst of the worst - but that was kind of par for the course. Just writing that reminds me of when we had meta-mod on the boards, god that must have been 15 years ago now! Similarly I don't like seeing a board that I'm probably most active on (even though I'm not very active in general), closed off to newcomers. To coin a phrase previously used in this topic, the ball belongs to the owners of the site so they can do what they want, but if you change the rules then people might stop putting down their jackets. Maybe that's too British a saying. Either way, I have no plans on leaving, and my actions are in no means any form of protest (well, I suppose technically they are), Fandom can run the site however it wants, but if by cutting off a community I've been active in for longer than some folks here have been alive, I think it's perfectly reasonable to cut off content I previously created as it doesn't go against any rule and aside from this one topic, I won't scream and shout about it. To those of you who recognise my name and have read any of my guides before, thanks for remembering who I am and I hope my guides helped. --- Signature ... Copied to Clipboard!

To be fair I went to another on in LA a month later and they were there, and I got to meet both of them, while my friend smoked with them on a couch.

Umbreon posted... At this point I don't think it's a gimmick, he's just genuinely that way. I've been preaching all of this for the past three years. You know that more than anyone, because the Sex board was a good source of my rants. My whole gimmick is has been to criticize the old GameFaqs regime's user aquisition, retention, and growth strategy. Like its literally all I talk about. How the site needs to be modernized, with a mobile app. Financial viability involves social media integration, influencer marketing, developer tools for game companies. The current core userbase is too influential, and eats alive any new (younger/normie) user that happens to stumble across the place, therefoer before any ad spend can be allocated for UA campaigns things like the "current events" board needs to be quaratined, or at the very least highly moderated, so as to keep the vibe from flowing into the game boards. Like, it just made sense to me. I figured eventually whomever owned the place would try to either monetize it, or just sell it off. RV sold it, and now Fandom is going to try and monetize. All the things I've been preaching since 2021 are finally coming to fruition. I'm like a kid in a candy shop. Completely agree with the rest of your post though. Blocking him is best. He doesn't show up for genuine conversation. @Umbreon You know that's false. We've been having genuine conversation for almost three years now. Just because we don't see eye-to-eye or I rarely if ever switch my position doesn't make it any less genuine. Like do you honetsly believe all those hours I've spent talking to you, and the walls of text I've sent you over the course of our debate were just done for the purpose of trolling you?

Drrobotniks posted... It is genuinely vile and revolting how you act, This is how I've acted for the past three years. Its not like I've suddenly adapted this "fandom shill" persono for the purpose of trolling. I've always been a "corporate shill" -- this is the stuff I've been preaching since before Fandom even owned the site. Hate it all you want, but don't ignore reality and pretend like this isn't how I've always been. I'm not disingenuous. I believe the things I say. If I was disengenous I would have changed my positions at some point. But you can find topics of me going over User Acquisition techniques, and GameFaqs Demographics stats as relate to user growth as far back as the summer of 2021 over on the Hellhole board. If you hate my views, and me as a person for believing them then like just call me "disgusting" or something. If they actually disgust you then that wouldn't even be trolling.
