The AWS thing is probably most of the operating costs because they scalp their customers a dozen times over. This place used to run on three pentium 3 desktops and a T1 line out of ceejar's trailer. It could probably fit on a raspberry pi with the amount of traffic it gets nowadays. --- Editor's note: The sound of children screaming has been removed. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I find it funny when people assume companies acquire a site like GameFAQs for the sole purpose of shutting it down. <_<It's plausible that GameFAQs was a package deal with some of these other buys like GameSpot. At that point it may behoove them to male the real but costs of GFAQs outweigh revenue so they shut it down. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY ...

BlueTigerLion posted... When HBO merged with Discovery. Them cancelling projects and firing people was all over the news. This is not specific to that merger btw. When Disney acquired LucasFilm they immediately shut down LucasArts and cancelled everything in progress including Star Wars 1313 and then further went on to bury all the pre-existing legends shit. Any time there a merger or acquisition shit is lined up against a wall and shot. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...

Can't say I'm happy with this, but as long as they don't re-design things too badly, I think there can still be hope? Like, we'll probably receive a buttload of extra ads, but I doubt they'll do things like... Re-designing the boards and Q&A in a way that makes them actively bothersome to browse through. FAQs may also get ads, I guess, but that's probably something I can endure. I doubt fandom has any intention of shutting down the site, so like... Even if things end up becoming worse, it will probably will still be like... Usable. ... Copied to Clipboard!
