What other website can you contact the admin about a site issue and have it addressed within a few hours? Like when the search bar disappeared.

The site has certainly evolved far more rapidly from a functionality standpoint under his tenure.

The site has certainly evolved far more rapidly from a functionality standpoint under his tenure. The internet has evolved far more rapidly from a functionality standpoint in those same times. I have found his tenure highly frustrating. Back when I joined gamefaqs in early 2017 I had some pet peeves that made me feel that the site hadn't changed much since inception: 1) Message character limits - not enough space! 2) Words can't be too long because browsers from 1995 can't handle long words! (so, you can't link to longer URLs) 3) If you copy & paste some URLs the gamefaqs engine will convert certain symbols to weird shit and the URL won't work 4) unpaid moderation staff with the professionalism of a 12 yr old AOL kid from 1995 running "real ultimate power" 5) Not enough post customization features (e.g. text colors) In all, I felt the site was very 1995-like. In all these years, me and others have been raising our concerns, and what has he done? 1) Made post limits SHORTER 2) Told us to fuck off and use tinyurl - which was at some point a TOS violation, but it was easier to change the TOS than to give us a 2000s solution 3) Nothing 4) Empowered certain mod who is now super rude to people and allowed said mod to empower certain users to be basically pseudo-mods and have a topic that operates over its own de-facto TOS, making Real Ultimate Power seem like the website of the National Academy of Sciences 5) Forced "innovations" on us that we didn't ask for and only backfire (e.g. users now harass others and remember it because they can tag a profile to remember it, they can also @ summon someone and then block him, then can block a user and then use alt accounts to mass mark, now you're FORCED to use the spoiler tag instead of just warning about the spoilers, etc) Look at this "new posting engine" garbage, it sucks, and we still don't have features from say, 1999 such as the ability to post longer posts or paste longer URLs. edit: Update - it looks I can no longer summon a user by putting a @ in front of his name in the cite. GREAT, another feature taken away from us. Now I will have to do this: @TheMikh ... Copied to Clipboard!

I honestly think that's because of it being owned by an actual business. GameFAQs has been owned by CNET since like 2003, but the changes have been accelerating in the past several years. Coastal_elite posted... Some thoughts.
I haven't paid much attention to the technicalities of how the ToU is used to enforce use of functionality, or how new functionality is abused though; I mostly operate along a strict 2009 interpretation of the terms, and seldom make use of new functionality. @Username still works, I received a notification. --- ...

CNET was ****ing garbage, they're the reason we merged with Gamestop I'm not disagreeing, just offering a counterpoint to the suggestion that being owned by CNET/CBS was the catalyst for the accelerating changes. Something else seems to have prompted it, as we went many years without seeing real changes, even while being owned by other companies. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
