Those are some cancerous ads

Those are just the front page ads. When you go to the forums the first post on every page of every thread has a video ad in it. So for example if you turn off ad block this post you are reading would have an ad in it.

https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/mariska-hargitay-law-order-svu-helps-lost-child

Mariska Hargitay fully embodied her "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" character by helping a young girl find her mother. Hargitay was dressed in her "SVU" detective gear for filming the show on April 10 in New York City, thus bearing a striking resemblance to a police officer. A young girl, unaware of the cast and crew around the location, approached Hargitay, mistaking her for a real-life police officer, seeking help locating her mother. Hargitay quickly jumped into action, channeling her inner Olivia Benson, the detective she plays on the show. A witness told People magazine that Hargitay paused production for 20 minutes to help the child find her mother. The interaction took place at Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park. Eventually, the young girl, with the help of Hargitay, was reunited with her mother. It seems as though Hargitay has learned a thing or two from playing a detective on the "Law & Order" spin-off since 1999.

"SVU" is currently filming its 25th season. The show is the longest-running, prime-time live-action series in the history of American television. "Weve been on a parallel journey," Hargitay told People ahead of the premiere of the show's 25th season in January. "Theres a thing: WWOBD, What would Olivia Benson do? The fans would always talk about it, and one day it hit me. I also have those moments where Ive sort of slipped into her. If theres a crisis, I just take over and lead like that. Being strong and fearless. Its sort of this perfect feminist story." "What would Olivia Benson do?" has become quite a phenomenon among "SVU" fans, and the thought process was put into action by Hargitay in helping the lost child find her mother.

CJayC thought he was too old for gaming in the Xbox 360 era. I mean geez, gaming has only gotten more popular and varied now. Not saying that equates to popularity but I wonder what he'd think of today's scene. Heck I never even knew how old he was back then. I think some ppl knew his phone number lmfao. The internet was a way different place in the early to mid 2000s though.

He had to have been in the 30-34 range when he was saying he was too old for GameFAQs. Which is probably the average age now lol.

So, you've noticed the new design. And you're probably wondering why the GameFAQs logo is giving the GameSpot logo a horsey ride. The reason, of course, is that CNET is an evil corporate entity that wants to swallow the site and make it indistinguishable from every other site out there, throwing away every ounce of user goodwill the site ever had, and I'm a willing party to it all. Mwa hah hah.

So, in conclusion: Be patient. Give us a little time. I'm listening to what you have to say, and I'm going to work to make this site as good as possible for as many people as possible. There's lots of work left to be done, so don't give up hope yet.

Those are some interesting lines even 18 years ago people were saying the owner of the site would ruin the site. And the way he ends it is interesting the admin goal being to make the site as good as possible for as many people.

Why do we have this same topic every week? Y'all are literally disabling adblock so you can complain about ads. Just stop.

Thread is meant to be a discussion about the site having rules and than the ads having another. It would be like GameFAQs saying porn is banned but have porn ads. I thought ads were supposed to align with the rules of the site instead of shutting down this question saying use adblock and ignore the hypocrisy.

British actor Danny Dyer has spoken out in horror after learning his nine-year-old son, Arty is a fan of the controversial influencer Andrew Tate. 46-year-old Dyer, best known for his role in EastEnders and movies like The Football Factory was speaking about the revelation on a new Channel 4 documentary called Danny Dyer: How To Be A Man. Tate, who is currently awaiting trial in Romania on accusations of rape and human trafficking, became a social media sensation in 2022 after going viral on various platforms such as TikTok for his often controversial opinions on women. Dyer has now spoken out against Tate after learning that his son had become a fan of the influencer after discovering his content on his phone. The actor said: "Andrew Tate's loud-mouthed, anti-feminist rants have attracted him millions of followers worldwide. If there wasn't social media, there would be no Andrew Tate. I remember back in the day, I think Andrew Tate tried to be on Big Brother. So he was looking for fame, and that was his only avenue in."

Dyer added: "Now he's the most Googled man on the planet apparently, there's disciples, there's other little youngsters going, 'I like what he's doing, I'm going to do the same thing'. "My little boy whos nine, he's really smart, but he's got a phone now. So the other day his mum said to me, 'Oh, you know, he likes Andrew Tate', and I went, 'What?' So I went, 'You like Andrew Tate?' He went, 'Yeah, that is a top G'." A horrified Dyer then pointed out to his son that Tate says "really fucking stupid things" which didn't seem to phase his youngster. Dyer added: "It is flowing through every school, even here. It's integrating into young boys' souls. And that's all they need, because it's a tough time to be a boy. At school, they're behind girls at every level. "From early years to SATs, GCSEs, A-levels, university admissions and degrees. They've got to figure out sex and relationships in the post MeToo era, and thats a minefield. And they've got toxic alpha influences promising them empowerment, making them feel good about themselves."

If you want to do hornyposting go to those subs that can't be mentioned here since GameFAQs is for 13 year olds and it against rules to link to those porn subs.
