Well the site basically stopped growing in 2007 and had a gradual decline born of stagnation since

You could say that's a coincidence but yeah. I feel like CJayC with the wheel for 13 years would actually have some ideas to help keep the site relevant

I agree, he knew how to market this site so much better.

SBAllen finally brought this site into the 21st century with things like editing posts, but on the other hand, CJayC never deleted all of my posts and took away 10 karma just because I used "~~~" as a sig divider. Tough choice

Yeah Allen made some much-needed changes to the boards

Like remember GameFOX? Idk if people still use it but unless I'm way out of the loop, it feels more or less obsolete these days. But that should never have been needed in the first place. In Cjay's time we had to preview every post and there were so many other weird limits on when/what/how to post

The site actually peaked in 2008 according to the vote totals, which is after Allen had already taken over for CJayC.

CJayC

Allen has done well but honestly in this modern day and age...Gfaqs is outdated as a site. He just hasn't evolved it.

Well, CJayC already left by the time I really started using the message boards, and I've interacted with Allen before.

....and Allen is a fellow FFIV fan, so I'm totally going with Allen.

HAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH

I'll never forgive Bacon for the 2013 Character battle when his wife became a story in the contest. That was so beta of him to let that happen. He made this story up:

"So I'm reading through the big topic about me explaining myself and wondering what the hell all this is about. So I go over to Reddit and my account and lo and behold, I see that I actually did post those messages. After the initial WTF!? reaction, I finally figure out what happened. My wife loves Solid Snake. He's her favorite character in gaming. She also knew how irritated I was with this whole Draven thing, and worst of all, she knows all my passwords. Thus, her devious plot unfolded. She logged into my Reddit account posing as me and messaged the mods. I honestly had no idea, and feel pretty stupid about the whole ordeal. Feel free to mercilessly mock me for getting completely owned by my wife!"

Also banning League of Legends from being in these JUST BECAUSE HE DON'T LIKE LEAGUE. He can suck a big onee.

League was banned from BOTH 2015 Games and this contest. What the hell...

I do want to give Allen some credit though, my favorite contest, Fall 2010 GoTD, he created, so there's that on the positive side.

Allen said that League didn't make the top 100 nominations in 2015, and its review scores (the other criteria that the 128 were based on) weren't good enough to compensate.

It wasn't eligible for this contest.

CJay had a good idea but the site got too popular and he was overwhelmed, SB has done a good job getting us back to stable and modernizing things. And continuing to run Contests is of course a big plus.

The site's number of viewers really aren't about the admin of the site. These days if you want some help with a game you can watch a video showing exactly what to do. The main purpose of the site has been diminished.

He should have made an exception. Anyone with a brain knows how popular League was during the 2010s. No way in hell does anyone think it was a 2000s game.

For game of the decade Fall 2010, it wasn't popular enough at that point to have made that bracket. So it's missed 3 total games contests. It's a joke!
