And how is Skyrim still the 2nd most popular game? None of the message boards are very active.

Page hits. Stuff like FAQs, Q&A and archived topics get a lot hits. FAQs not as much, but certainly contributes a significant portion.

They probably use to get more hits a bunch of years ago...

YouTube, reddit and wikis pretty much made FAQs useless.

Yeah. These days, those are easier, or even better, to use...

I disagree. Trying to find a well compiled walkthrough for games these days sucks.

It's nice for when you have like one question but a start to finish guide blows when it's chunked out into 120 different pages on IGN. I miss plain text format with keyphrases for searching.

Hell, I still have some plain texts guides printed out lying around my house somewhere for GameCube games.

If I need a guide, I would still come here. And I would use one. But the wikis, videos, and other stuff are better for when you have one question, like you said. Which seems to happen more than needing a whole guide these days. And you can also use the ToC on sites like IGN... But I do like full guides. I just dont need them as much. Especially with the games having boards on this site...
