FAQs and boxart mainly. Questions is a tall order, and the boards are more or less impossible to chronicle outside of The Website that Shall Not be Named.

Like it's a kneejerk reaction on my part, I know, but honestly fuck Fandom.

I don't see any reason why they would take down the site or content. This site gets a shitload of traffic for the literal just 3 employees that work directly for it.

I am very worried about the usability of the site if they try to equal the number of ads they put on their wiki sites.

The only thing I could really see them getting rid of are the messageboards. Or at least, the non-gaming boards.

Yeah. Don't worry about the FAQs going away, but absolutely worry about them becoming horribly infested with ads.

Since we're worried about Fandom fucking the site over visually I just wanna shill for this thing I use called "Stylebot" which is a plugin for Chrome.

You can use it to fiddle with html elements on the sites you visit. It actually makes fandom wiki sites usable for me.

Is there some news that I missed? Why are we worried about Fandom messing with gamefaqs?

Is the soul of the site getting stripped again?
