lol remember when they merged the boards and users noticed the 'spotheads' lol memories.

Gamefaqs was good it was always had a minimalist design. No matter what PC I had at one point I had a high spec alienware gamespot always tended to slow down whatever computer I was on thus I never liked gamespot.

Well it was good knowing you guys

The only thing that's changing is the URL. You wouldn't even notice the change if it wasn't for the announcement.

Ultimately, it made the most sense to have both sites on the GameSpot domain, as it is the flagship CBS Interactive gaming brand

Looks like it will

It wasn't theirs to take in the first place. The users were the soul of this place, and GameFAQs hasn't been the only game in town for a long time now. It could shut down tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost because there's a million better-constructed venues and we already use them.

You know for all the mocking of "lol sold out the soul of the site"

Kinda didn't. Look around you. Look at how this site is laid out. It's still got a huge database of FAQs (though this site is definitely more reliable for help/info on older games than newer >_>), the boards are still very retro.

Maybe the site is kind of butchered by ads now I guess but people can at least block those. We don't have a bunch of superfluous BS like making text size whatever we want, any color we want, forcibly putting images that just auto-load in posts and sigs, ugly avatars polluting the topics.

I don't come to GameFAQs because of how the staff moderates the boards, or for the community. I come despite those things, and I come because most other websites, forums and other means of socialising are just designed in a way that I hate. That is inefficient and bogged down with nonsense.
