@SBAllen - do you think moving Gamefaqs a subdomain on Gamespot will increase traffic? Nope, but our traffic isn't a concern anyway as we still have year to year growth in all important traffic metrics. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs ...

What I dont get is how theyre redirecting gamefaqs.com "forever"
Like, I work in IT so I know they will have redirection in place via DNS but they will have to keep ownership of the gamefaqs domain in order to redirect That means they will continue to pay for a domain they dont use, forever. Thats fine I guess, I just dont believe it. I bet within a year or two they will announce the gamefaqs.com domain is going away and for us to "update" our favorites and bookmarks based on a change they made a year ago etc. Just letting people know to update your bookmarks now etc. Not that its that hard but jus saiyan :) Welp, RIP gamefaqs i luvd u --- Steam ID: Mind_Explosion I thought I chose very easy, not brand new to the game. - CheesyPhil on SC2 ...

Here's my take:
I don't see anything wrong with the change. Everything will look the same, except what is in the URL bar in your browser. Maybe this change will help with something on the back end or something that will be giving CBSi more money? The thing that stands out to me is the more rewards for FAQS and site competitions. So in my eyes, this upcoming change must be getting more income for CBSi/Gamefaqs. Unless I'm missing something? Anyways, I think this is positive. I don't think they would do this for nothing. --- Remember to drink coffee like I do, so coffee can unite within our lives. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a neutral, yeah. I think the goal there is to use the sub domain in order to still keep the boards and sites somewhat separate.
