Can Luster being a ghost become board canon now


I guess since lihlih or whatever doesn't post anymore we do have an opening for a ghost.

No one's beating Link on this site post-BotW, but many of the new characters have huge fanbases that might be able to draw in enough new voters to keep things interesting. Now it's also entirely possible that Goku and Vader and Batman and all the rest bomb and aren't even legit midcarders, but I think it's worth one Contest to find out.

This post from Allen on CE explains why he made GameFAQs a subdomain of GameSpot instead moving GameSpot to a subdomain of GameFAQs:

SBAllen posted...
Not really a loss. GameFAQs is the larger site with the larger traffic, but GameSpot is the more marketable site because it's not UGC-based like we are. People who view UGC aren't as inclined to click on an ad as someone browsing news. Thus, while our site is bigger, our brand/domain is less valuable to advertisers. It's a shame, but it's the reality of internet advertising.


For those that don't know, UGC = User-generated content

Allen also admits that GameFAQs is the larger site in terms of traffic.

I am very surprised to learn we get more traffic than Gamespot

I thought this website had become a ghost town.

Eh, it's really hard to evaluate it unless you have some raw numbers to it. After all, not everyone posts on the boards or contributes to the site.

Of course, I'm a numbers person, so I'm obviously curious as to the numbers Allen's working with :3

Allen has said that the FAQs themselves still get a lot of traffick because people are link directly to them in google searches. Which means people don't have to navigate through the front page, which means the message boards suffer as well.

The site contests suffer from this because someone could arrive on GameFAQs from Google searches and have absolutely no idea a contest is going on. Obviously something needs to be done about this so the contests are more accessible to first-time visitors. I am not trying to suggest that the contest polls should be shoved in their faces when they land on the site, but these first-time visitors should be given an opportunity to decide if they want to participate in the contest voting since that may lead to some of those visitors signing up for GameFAQs to discuss the contest.

@Full_Throttle got one of his polls linked on yahoo.com once. Maybe he can use his powers to get the contest polls linked to a major news website.
