Don’t quote me on this but I went to school with Tom and, during a dissection, nicked my finger with a scalpel. He quickly lifted my hand and proceeded to suck my finger for the rest of class. It took 3 large men to separate my digit from his mouth and 2 more to fish out my fingertip. I heard they pumped 3 pints of blood from his stomach.
Eh, the forum era was pretty great itself. There are many guides and FAQs and resources that wouldn’t exist without the collaborative environment of the forums. They were an important part of the GameFAQs equation. The real problem is that the admin who took over after CJayC stepped down just didn’t have it. He wasn’t as principled as CJayC. He loaded the place up with super obtrusive ads and cared more about the letter of the law than the spirit of the community. Then reddit and the wikia/Fandom ecosystems started to replace the function of the declining GameFAQs. And that’s kind of our current normal, although the flaws in it are becoming more and more apparent.
Does anyone create a social media platform without being an absolute nutjob? Tom from Myspace, maybe?

I worked with Tom at a pizza hut in the 90s. Dude would always stick his dick in the pizza oven. I never noticed any crazy behavior from him, though.
Forever <3 CJayC, but GameFAQs didn’t start as forums.
I once looked up a question about an old videogame and Google directed me to GameFAQs, to a comment made by me that answered it.
Which I think is part of their problem, right?
They’re supposed to be a guide site but they became about the forum.
