I don't understand how such a poor excuse of a gaming website gets recognition. Seriously, just the other day I posted an opinion for an upcoming Xbox 360 game with my views and thoughts. I expected some good feedback. Instead, I was being neglected by people who seemed to be, 12-16 years old. When it finally got to their attention they've all turned against me, sharing their stupid thoughts and assumptions. Never have I felt so insulted. It's as if none of these people care, and if you post something that's a few days old, they all flame on you.
I'm deeply saddened by what the place has become. When it was just starting I had a good time on that website, looking over at strategy guides, posting on the boards, just trying to be cool. Now I can't post there anymore without some idiot trying to prove that he is smarter than I am.
I noticed this most evident on their Cartoon and Anime boards. I talk about my favorite cartoons, my favorite animes, and it's as if no-one knew about them. They ask "What was that show?" I say it was a show of mine I grew up with and remember fondly. They reply "That show sucks, I'd rather watch shows on today." That just made me feel sad and depressed.
Why does everyone on there have to act EMO, serious, being a clown, or just being a big pain in the backside? I just don't understand it. Their forums are a joke. They let certain people break the rules and they let others down by removing content from their posts that wasn't even violating the standards in the first place.
Really, I'm going to set a time limit if GameFAQs gets any worse. They have people with an IQ the size of a pebble.

Those people are retarded b*tchy nerds who take everything too seriously. Don't go to that website.
I agree completely. Why can't they behave like normal people?
Mr. ToeJam & Earl fan... you didn't happen to see anybody with the name "Grand Papillon", did you?
No, and quit harassing. You've been doing this for a while now.
That wasn't harrasment. That was a compliment. ToeJam & Earl's cool. My mind wandered elsewhere.
:?
Do you bait like that on GameFAQs?

No, I'm just ticked off that most people on there have to act all tough in the sense that they think I'm stupid if I post something that is a few days old. It's like everybody (though not true) on there is younger than I am, and I'm only 24.
I think these kids need to have their time cut by their parents.

Well, it's true. I've been to the PS2 board a few times, and you're right, they can be dicks. But you just need to be careful when going to current system/game boards.
I'm better off saying I won't visit them period.
I hate this New Gen age. The Nintendo Wii is the only thing I'm looking forward to in terms of future releases. Everything else can rot.

Not everyone acts in that manner at GameFAQs. Also you can select the message detail link by the name of a user and from that page hit the [Ignore this User] button.
True, but it's tough to spot them. Most of the people I see are 12-16 year old kids who have probably spent too much time ranting about how others are different from them.

I was on there back in the day when the site started up (using the college's computer). I haven't logged in since 2002/2003.
Heh. Maybe I should of done the same. Things have changed so much since the site started.

settle down, Beavis.
Gamefaqs is pretty pathetic, but they're affiliated with Gamespot so it doesn't surprise me. That's not to say GS is bad, but they've really fallen off the last few years losing people left and right and what happened recently really has set them back. Gamefaqs back around 2002/03 was pretty good, but it's been downhill ever since.
I go to Gametrailers.com and 1up.com more now. On ocassion I'll visit Gameinformer.com.

I have'nt really posted on the forums on gamefaqs, But it is a good place to look for walkthroughs and codes.

Excuse me, but I use GameFAQs all the time! What you just said is WRONG! You should go soak your head if you talk with that attitude!
I'm sure if you were insulted there like I was a few days ago Sonic64, you would feel the same way.
