Line 21:
* '''Current Events''' (CE; 400): Largest of the social boards as of June 3rd. Most People here have moved from RI because of the amount of Roleplaying, and just want to chat. They call themselves "CEMen", an innuendo to the boards, in that [[There Are No Girls on the Internet]]... and the gamete for males. It's also home to some of the site's most infamous suicides (see below), such as the [http://wikifaqs.net/index.php?title=Jediknight12345 church burning suicide] or the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|child porn/"candy"]] suicide. [[The Wiki Rule]] can be found [http://www.wikicedia.net/wiki/Main_Page here].
* '''Life the Universe and Everything''' (LUE; 402): Notable in that new users can no longer access it. Only accounts which were made before a certain date are allowed to post, and even among those accounts only those that signed up for LUE access before the deadline (Accounts created after this date promoted to moderator stats may view, but not post, on the board). This was an attempt to kill off the board when it got out of hand. In effect, the first private board. LUE is basically what [[Image Boards|4chan]] would be like if it had stricter moderators trying and failing to keep the users in check.
** In the past few years{{when}} LUE has calmed down a lot due to being closed off. Now, most of the users are in college or jobs. There are several lawyers and teachers, and LUE is not the mass of chaos it once was. Many moderators are frequent social posters on LUE, as well as many moderators were chosen from LUE specifically. LUE is now one of the most tamest and mature boards on GameFAQs, maybe even the internet due to being closed off and having the same user-base, many of whom know, and even date each other.
* '''Random Insanity''' (RI; 403): quickly spun into one of the largest social boards on GameFAQs, and like its name implies, is chock full of nonsense and random posting focusing more on social topics and small factions of users. It could be equated to a less offensive, slightly more controlled LUE that doesn't share LUE's history of rise and downfall; RI is and was always at a constant.
* '''WoT''' (408), it originated as a forum to discuss the events of 9/11 and then the war on terror. One of the two acknowledged instances of [[Network Decay|board decay]]; it quickly devolved into a social board, and due to the topicality issues, the board was temporarily removed, then reinstated as a hidden board. In the process, it was officially renamed from "War on Terrorism" to WOT. The politics discussions were then given its own board, 261.
