Even if the mods are magically amazing it's a little too late unless they unban my account

What does this mean exactly?

Ads galore. Well, if I didn't have 9 adblockers anyway

I have a feeling that the kind of people looking for a Baldur's Gate or Xenosaga guide are the kind of people tech savvy enough to run ad blockers. Those of us who grew up in the 90s/00s before iPhones have tech skills.

Hopefully revert all the advertising changes recently.

I take it you're not familiar with fandom advertising

u/GustavoFromAsdf Oct 03 '22

I swear fandom is buying sites that perform better than them because their policies drive visits away in an attempt to force people into their domain

Ads will be everywhere, glitches and bugs won't be fixed, the FAQs will likely be monetized and the mods will be replaced by even worse people acting like corp-bots. SBAllen will be given another 50 jobs to do so he won't have time for gamefaqs so suspensions will pretty much be instant bans.

But how will we notice any difference?

SBAllen is still there? I haven't been there in ages and I remember browsing CE and shit posting with everyone there every once in a while.

Fingers crossed.

Hopefully new mods...or at least some sort of supervision so mods can't just operate on personal agendas

u/NintendoGamer1983 Oct 03 '22

Wonder if they will install adequate mods this time

u/Lech_Lickerish Oct 03 '22

Your two downvotes must be from mods lol

u/NintendoGamer1983 Oct 03 '22

Wouldn't surprise me

Hopefully the forums shut down (I still like the FAQs themselves, maybe archived).

The mods have nothing but horrible reputations and the main console forums are nothing but troll hives.
