Zelda Social Board

Perhaps the biggest game social board on GameFAQs, this board has had hundreds of fads, an incredible amount of controversial posters, and perhaps the biggest community on GameFAQs.

San Andreas Social Board

One of the most controversial games also had one of the most controversial social boards.

Paper Mario Social

Started off as a game board, the moderators became fed up and created the Paper Mario Social, where some of the biggest factions and clans were created.

1. If you could change three things on GameFAQs, what would they be and why?
My list is so long I don't even know where to start. First thing I'd like to see changed is the amount of communication between Mods and users. It's really hard right now for most users to get in touch with Mods, and I think that is at the heart of a lot of the resent that people have for the team. If we could be more accessible somehow I think that would be a huge step towards a better working relationship between the Mod staff and the user base. It would be tricky since there are so few of us relative to the number of users as a whole but it's far too important to dismiss as "too hard" or "too grand" an objective. Second, I would like to see people who break the rules consistently across accounts - particularly trolls - get banned much more quickly. We are probably one of the most lenient sites on the Internet when it comes to letting people get banned over and over again and it drives me just as nuts as the next guy. I mean, people run multiple accounts and when they get to a certain point Karma isn't much of an issue anymore so they use it like currency to buy themselves entertainment. Finally, I think the Off-Topic rule could use reconsideration. Right now it is very strict, particularly for boards with corresponding Socials. The problem is, any long-time user of a General/Social will tell you that Generals and Socials develop their own unique communities over time. The General users don't want to socialize with Social board people, they want to socialize with General board people. Now, obviously topicality has to be upheld to a certain extent but if a topic is at least tangentially related I think we should be letting people have their fun.
