the worst part is that all the topics I've clicked on don't register as visited links any more. the dot is still there, but the links are still the default color and it's bothering me

also the site is considerably slower - hopefully this is just a temporary issue

Well, it's official now. GameFAQs is dead.


The domain change allows us to have more frequent contests as a result of the increase in ad revenue produced by combining GameFAQs and GameSpot traffic numbers together. This was a major problem over the past few years as we've had only 2 major site contests after 2011 (plus the Years Contest last year).

Allen posted this message a few weeks ago:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/76238326
Secondly, we will also be committing to running contests more often and with larger prizes. You can look forward to the next GameFAQs sitewide contest this summer. More information about this contest will be coming out in the upcoming months.

My only complaint about the domain change is that it logged me out and it took a few seconds to remember my login info for my main account. Also the visited topics being the default color again. Other than that, the change has literally not affected me and certainly does not call for the harassment of CBSi customer service reps in the effort of getting Allen replaced.
