Current Events > CJayC: "GameSpot: GameFAQs? Why? Why? WHY!?!?!?"

So, you've noticed the new design. And you're probably wondering why the GameFAQs logo is giving the GameSpot logo a horsey ride. The reason, of course, is that CNET is an evil corporate entity that wants to swallow the site and make it indistinguishable from every other site out there, throwing away every ounce of user goodwill the site ever had, and I'm a willing party to it all. Mwa hah hah.

So, in conclusion: Be patient. Give us a little time. I'm listening to what you have to say, and I'm going to work to make this site as good as possible for as many people as possible. There's lots of work left to be done, so don't give up hope yet.

Those are some interesting lines even 18 years ago people were saying the owner of the site would ruin the site. And the way he ends it is interesting the admin goal being to make the site as good as possible for as many people.

I thought the line was interesting imagine you replace CNET with Fandom and it was DToast who said that. Would that quote from 18 years ago still be relevant to the current state of GameFAQs.

mp3 lol

CNET was actually a much better parent than Fandom is.

His account got closed. I wasn't around back then. No idea if when he said goodbye he closed his account. Or it was something that happened long after.

CJayC thought he was too old for gaming in the Xbox 360 era. I mean geez, gaming has only gotten more popular and varied now. Not saying that equates to popularity but I wonder what he'd think of today's scene. Heck I never even knew how old he was back then. I think some ppl knew his phone number lmfao. The internet was a way different place in the early to mid 2000s though.

I've found throughout the years that me and him share the same birthday but he's 20 years older than me. He's 51.

He had to have been in the 30-34 range when he was saying he was too old for GameFAQs. Which is probably the average age now lol.

Huh, it's been so long I forgot I was a member when Cjay was still in charge.

Maybe CJayC is Kranky Kong now. You whippersnappers never truly experienced Halo! Back in my day. It was a PC Exclusive.

I wish he hadn't sold out. Imagine what the place would be like if he never sold the site or stepped down.

Scotty might have been KoS. It would have been great.

He should have stepped back from the boards, kept the site and maintenence of the game info and contributions, and hired Allen to manage the message boards. That would have worked very well.
