SBAllen | Posted 12/1/2008 2:24:06 PM | message detail Let's start with the bad news. While the casual user might not even think of GameFAQs as a "business" at all, the site could not and would not exist at all if it wasn't making money for its owners. While GameFAQs is a successful and profitable site, internet advertising can be a very fickle thing. This means that every so often, we have to do something here at GameFAQs to continue generating revenue. Two new ads have already been functional for several days to users who are not logged in. Basically there's a banner ad at the top of the forum and at the bottom of a game's gamespace. Now these ads are visible to all users. They are relatively thin as far as banner ads go so they don't push down the forum content very far. I have a feeling that those who would be bothered by the ad the most will probably have already "adjusted" it by the time they read this post anyway. However, as I promised there is good news. We'll be accepting nominations for the Best. Game. Ever. 2009 Contest starting later on today. More information pertaining to this will be posted on the GameFAQs Contest board shortly. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and I'm working feverishly to get all these submissions up on the site as fast as I can. --- Um, not to criticize science or anything, but wouldn't it be easier just to call it "the pink one"? --- SBAllen | Posted 12/1/2008 3:46:02 PM | message detail The nomination form is live now.
