the political forum now 404 error when Durham Report Release!! 🤔
@uninspiredcup: Maybe behind the shed?
The board doesn't seem to work for me either.
Not listed as a forum any more either. Hmmm....
SBAllen AKA the lead admin for GameFAQs stated that Fandom didn’t want political discussions on the websites they owned, hence why 261 is gone over there. Presumably the same thing happened to your board over here? 🤨
Yes, it was removed. I'll be posting an announcement when I can find an appropriate spot.
Since you're in the process of removing boards how about getting rid of GameSpot Polls, YouTuber/Streamers Unite, GameSpot Giveaways and Mobile Connection? Those places have topics years old on the their front page.
@dtoast: Honestly just delete all the forum-only users (even users who make 90%+ forum posts), block anyone from creating a user with the same name as any previously existing user, delete all forum posts and even the archives, and start from there. We'd all be better off.

Also add Retro Gaming too as I've seen topics that are a year old and that place is deader than sports bar.
I know most users don't like YouTuber/Streamers Unit but it is a safe heaven for spammers to go and if it's gone, most places will be flooded with spammers and I can't be everywhere to mod. Just my take on that but I'll leave the rest to the staff.
Oh boy.
Not sure if there's enough to keep me here without Political Gamers.
System Wars can be fun but I'm not a fanatic like most, and Games Discussion is all but dead. As is Off-Topic.
Oh boy.

Yep. Not many active forums left here. That was one of them.

LMAO. Gamespot is now dead to me.
Take care LJ and mrbojangles.

Cheers. To you two, and many others. Been fun.
Though I'll stick around for the announcement I guess, curious if it's gone entirely or being incorporated into some other forum.
*Curious what the reasons were. Maybe fear of it being used to radicalize? That'd be funny...
I don't get this.
Would condense the forums, but certaintly wouldn't just delete politics. And def don't want it in off-topic again, as even fairly inactive, pretty chill section. It's the reason it was moved in the first place.
Oh boy.

You as well.
@uninspiredcup: Yeah if they delete politics it will spill out into everything else. It was created to contain all that.
If things are going this way they'll probably delete SW too because it was created for the same reason.
There's still time for someoene to organize an alternative and everyone can move there, if anyone cares enough.

Yea, the decisions they have made for the forum over the lat couple of years has been mystifying.
The design. Right now as I type this, 30% - 40% of my screen space is nothing.
Look
The smaller, circle avatars. The 3mb limit gif when their is about what? 15-20 active users. Posting pictures, quotes or most basic stuff now a huge pain in the ass.
And now this weird ass stuff (which I hope (though it would be really funny) has nothing to do with Trump.
-
IMO what i'd do is something like Neogaf, heavily condense it down to 4-5 sections, while keeping politics its own section.
At the moment, the community isn't big enough for the scattershot sections.
But whatever, they will do what they do
@uninspiredcup: The web stuff is so old they're going to have to throw it out, design an app, and make the site mobile-focused, with support for verified accounts. Then they will ask if you want to open it in the app or log in if you scroll down more than 5 comments.
@LJS9502_basic: At one point, you always said PG took away the traffic from OT. Looks like OT for political stuff is back on the OT menu boys.
It did. Which is why PG was busier than OT.😮
the political forum now 404 error when Durham Report Release!! 🤔
Not going to lie, was reading Durham report, pretty much slams the FBI and exonerated Trump, and immediately thought "I'm going to check PG to see what people are saying" and the forum gets straight up deleted lol
I don't know if that's actually the reason, I doubt it seriously, but the timing is just.. I don't even know lol..
That is funny. Now all the politicians can migrate to System Wars, and moan about pointless crap just like in the politics forums😅Literally the same thing😂
@nintendoboy16: SW next, I garr-on-tea
Its their only active forum. Why would they delete it? If they do, i will be forced to create a resetera account AND, and this is a hard one, be less unhinged on their forums.
@hardwenzen: They deleted half of their active forums when they got rid of PG.
be less unhinged on their forums.
Their forums must suck
