m Listed LUEshi as a fad |

Line 13:
*'''Current Events (CE)''' is the oldest social board on GameFAQs. It is usually the second most popular social board on GameFAQs.
*'''Life, the Universe, and Everything (LUE)''' is the most popular GameFAQs Social Board with usually well over 50,000 posts. The name was derived from the [[Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]] series by [[Douglas Adams]]. It was originally created to shunt the more annoying users off of RI. LUE has been very controversial in GameFAQs history, and is often viewed as one of the worst boards on the site. Discussion today is usually sex-related and has been for years. LUE is also home to many fads, including the infamous [[LUEshi]], and the phrase "y helo thar", which was said on a recent live broadcast of [[Conan O'Brien]].
** Though the board used to be open to all members with 30 Karma, it was raised to 75 Karma following the "Scum Wars" around November 2002 (see [http://www.arcn08.dsl.pipex.com/thearchive.htm]). A 150 Karma requirement was implemented after the "RevoLUEtion" on May 7th, 2003 [http://www.firefusion.org/lue/Events/RevoLUEtion.htm], and soon after the board was removed from all board listings. To get to it, one has to manually type in the URL.
