GameFAQs Spin-off Boards

Spin-off boards are forums designed with a source code very similar
to what GameFAQs looks like. Since they are owned and maintained
by different people, the rules and ToS on these boards may be very
different than what is found on GameFAQs.

 

Thanks to KSOT who provides this list in his Secondary Boards FAQ.

Message Board

GameFAQs Users Site has a message board. It makes sense, if you think about it. This site is a tribute to one of the largest collections of message boards (and FAQs, of course) for video
games. It doubles as the guestbook for this site.

Please drop in and sign to let us know you've been here!

We have a great messageboard, thanks to AEtherSpoon! (Much thanks inserted here.) No
pop-up ads, and it is connected to his larger message board system. Check it out! It requires registration in order to post, but registration is free. Please also review his Terms of Service
before posting.

The link (which will open in a new window):

The old message board can still be found here:
http://pub46.ezboard.com/bgamefaqsuserssite

If you care to read it, the Terms of Service (ToS) for the EZ board appear below.

Enjoy,

Terms of Service

(In short, if it's not allowed at GameFAQs, it's not allowed here. Thanks to CJayC of
GameFAQs who created the Terms of Service there.)

  • Nothing offensive, no flaming, no trolling. You can disagree with other people, but do it in
    a civil way. Absolutely no racist/sexist/etc. remarks allowed at all. Harassment/stalking may lead to bans and IP bans.
  • I don't mind people advertising their websites, but don't go around asking people to go to
    a site that is trying to sell you stuff (i.e. Advertising). I also don't like to see gibberish posts,
    so don't go around posting things like "ioefhiseofhnieorfg" unless you have a good reason to.
  • You may use any naughty word not picked up by the auto-censor. Keep in mind though
    that just because a word is allowed, that doesn't make it a good thing to use...it can still be deleted for flaming, etc.
  • No ROM sites, pornography, or other illegal/offensive sites may be posted. Though, like GameFAQs, emulator discussion and patches are ok.
  • Board Wars/Invasions/Planning for invasions either for other boards here or for
    GameFAQs boards will be deleted and also reported to CJayC of GameFAQs.
  • Anything deemed disruptive by Crono Level99 or the moderators may also be deleted too.

Notable Differences from the GameFAQs ToS:

  • There is no such thing as an off-topic post here. If a particular post belongs on another
    board, it will be moved there. But nothing will be deleted for being "off-topic."
  • Spoilers for recently released games may or may not be deleted at the moderators'
    discression. If a game was released more than 2 years ago, spoilers are ok. Just please
    put "Spoilers" in the topic title if you anticipate discussion of them.

What action can be taken against someone who breaks the ToS?

  • This isn't GameFAQs. Here, there are two things that can be done. Deletion of a post,
    and a Ban (which may or may not be an IP Ban). Warnings do not exist on ezboards. So follow the ToS and we'll all be fine. Deal?

If you feel that the ToS may need to be changed, please post your suggestions in the
Suggestions board. Or e-mail me. I am open to new/different ideas.

If you feel a moderator(s) are improperly using their abilities, please also report that to me
as well. CronoLV99@aol.com
