the one thing i do like him doing is this http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1-the-future-of-gamefaqs
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1-the-future-of-gamefaqs/56656012

:face: Hey guys, let's finally get GameFAQs out of the nineties by implementing a feature found on virtually every site but GameFAQs!

:donniesfault: Fuck you, I enjoy being ass-backwards for no particular reason!

I'm especially fond of the people claiming they would experience massive page loading issues if such a feature were to be implemented. Hopefully they'll never have to do an image search or watch a video on YouTube, because their computer would implode.

:sperglord: HOW DARE YOU SULLY GAMEFAQS WITH IMAGES I LIKE GAMEFAQS BECAUSE IT'S PURELY TEXT AND I WILL LEAVE IF YOU CHANGE IT DEAR GOODNESS PEPSI CRYSTAL WAS PULLED FROM THE STORE HOW CAN I DEAL WITH THIS MY AUTISM CAUSES ME TO HATE ANY CHANGE WHATSOEVER

Heavens goodness, these people are scared of everything. The argument heard most often in these support threads is "it'd be too easy to abuse", as if every other site on the Internet offering such a feature is constantly being assaulted by people trying to overthrow the board. If an admin is comfortable enough with suggesting the idea, the abuse argument makes no sense. He wouldn't suggest such a feature in the first place if he wasn't comfortable with it.

It'd just result in a plethora of dead private boards, and take away from the existing ones. Honestly, the real and only appeal of private boards currently is it's something of an mile-stone for a long-time user to get into one or own it. I realize I'm biased since I already own one, but I think it would render the current ones useless, make current board owners and members a little upset, and overall the novelty of it would be lost because not many people would care about them if they could just get their own.


:donniesfault: I'm fine with black people. Hey, I even have black friends! But when one of them niggers moves in next door, it just ruins the neighbourhood!

I like GameFAQs without avatars. Makes it a more formal form of boredom.

They redesigned it recently, right? I was browsing a Reach board and found that the topic list button was moved to a really weird place. Makes me mad, since ProM and LUELinks has it in the top center (and ProM and gamefaqs also had it at the bottom...useful when done with a topic).

As for avatars, I am against it just because that community already has shitty tastes...at least not I can mostly avoid their signatures. I don't want to see their avatars with their personal "badass faggot metrosexual Japanesse pretty boi".

Though if they did implement it, I would totally rock a pedo Mily Cyrus avatar.

Actually, now that I think about it, GameFAQs is ass backwards.

No post edit, no avatars, no images, horribly restrictive TOS, etc.

There is a difference between simple and barebones...

Even Bulletin boards could do more than this.

Why the fuck did they decide to throw an ad right there in the middle of the topic list? You can chose between either A) Having a shitty ad at the top so you have to scroll down everytime you check the list.
B) On the side, effectively cutting the width of the topic size in half.
C) In the fucking middle of the topic list.
The fuck.
Fuuuck.
I feel so sorry for the tards without adblock that still visit that place.

real simple solution with GameChrome extension enabled. go to your settings on GFaqs and enable the default stretch skin, then set the ads to display in topic list and message lists. Game Chrome will block the ads, and you'll have a proper full-screen view.

the procedure should be more or less the same with GameFox if i'm not mistaken.
