'''[http://www.gamefaqs.com GameFAQs]''', with thousands upon thousands of FAQs, [[Walkthrough|walkthroughs]], codes, tips, information, and discussion forums on just about every video game ever made, is one of the largest such sites. Merged with [http://www.gamespot.com GameSpot] back in 2004, [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|much to the annoyance of some users]].
This site is home to pretty much every type of online persona known to man, and many other fan-based tropes such as [[Fan Dumb]], and [[Unpleasable Fanbase]]. In addition to this, they also [[Trope Namers|named]] the tropes [[Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action]] (after a meme on the ''[[

==== Social boards ====
* '''Current Events''' (CE; 400): Largest of the social boards as of June 3rd. Most People here have moved from RI because of the amount of Roleplaying, and just want to chat. They call themselves "CEMen", an innuendo to the boards, in that [[There Are No Girls
* '''Life the Universe and Everything''' (LUE; 402): Notable in that new users can no longer access it. Only accounts which were made before a certain date are allowed to post, and even among those accounts only those that signed up for LUE access before the deadline (Accounts created after this date promoted to moderator stats may view, but not post, on the board). This was an attempt to kill off the board when it got out of hand. In effect, the first private board. LUE is basically what [[Image Boards|4chan]] would be like if it had stricter moderators trying and failing to keep the users in check.
** In the past few years LUE has calmed down a lot due to being closed off. Now, most of the users are in college or jobs. There are several lawyers and teachers, and LUE is not the mass of chaos it once was. Many moderators are frequent social posters on LUE, as well as many moderators were chosen from LUE specifically. LUE is now one of the most tamest and mature boards on GameFAQs, maybe even the internet due to being closed off and having the same user-base, many of whom know, and even date each other.
