That username is on point if they truly think SBAllen actually owned this site.

I got the news from a thread on Reddit. Been posting there more lately since a lot of subs have more actvitiy then here. Such as the baseball sub there is way better than gamefaqs baseball board.

In his Fandom announcement he said he would keep fighting for site unless he was retiring or a pain in the ass. He will still post here so it looks like it the pain the ass thing.

Words spreading all over the collective nerd spaces cuz GameFAQs will always be a part of 2000s internet nostalgia.

yeah the part about him fighting the good fight for the site is huge.

I mean no one would/could post they want to close non-gaming boards and merge all gaming forums into a bunch of wikis, I said no so they told me to fuck off (this is 100% hypothetical, just used as an example for arguments sake), so wed never hear it, right?

Yea. It is kinda scary he lasted 20 years with the previous ownership. Lasted about a year under Fandom.

We would not hear about it, but we would discover it later, probably when they start making the changes.

This is where someone from fandom should chime in, say a thing or two about how its gonna be fine, etc, even if its not true.

the fact they didnt says a lot on their attitude towards the boards

To be fair, DToast has never been a speaker. SBAllen have had to explain what he "really meant" multiple times instead of him explaining anything.
That said, he is the community manager for multiple websites, so posting anything most likely drains up a whole week of GameFaqs planned time.

Between CNET and Red Ventures, the site saw more than one ownership on name alone and probably a whole series of management suits.

And SBAllen survived all of them. Fandom takes over and he is out in a year.
