- darkchild82, on 12/01/2007, -1/+50wow, how did they manage to get through Cnet's network's ? Dugg, just so Cnet knows they're in a lot of sh*t now. Anyway, here's the guy behind Jeff's firing - http://digg.com/gaming_news/Josh_Larson_Director_a ...
- l4wl, on 12/01/2007, -2/+48They spelled descent wrong, heh.
- h4mx0r, on 12/01/2007, -0/+20This poll brought to you by DEW-MOCRACY!
- zizzy, on 12/01/2007, -1/+19Even worse is the fact that they spelled it "decent" - which is definitely not the point it seems they're trying to get across.
- TotalHalibut, on 12/01/2007, -2/+20Yeah, how dare they maintain their own site, arseholes!
- eburetto, on 12/01/2007, -0/+16People still read GameSpot? I haven't been to that site since they began plastering the whole page with ads,
- Adrnshw6, on 12/01/2007, -4/+19I only see a poll about "What type/genre of movies do you enjoy the most?"
- MewTwo, on 12/01/2007, -4/+16It's already pretty childish to hack the site and I'm alright with that. I'm NOT alright with sounding like an 8 year old while doing it.
- grumbel, on 12/01/2007, -0/+11The surprise here is not that they are influenced by advertisers, but they did such a huge ***** up to let each and everybody know. I mean what did they expect? Gerstmann has been at Gamespot for a long time, you can't just fire such a guy without anybody noticing it.
- mrjit, on 12/01/2007, -1/+12English isn't the first language of the entire world.
- Ninjao, on 12/01/2007, -0/+10That dumb ***** who fired Gerstman has really owned himself now because now EVERYONE is going to know how ***** that game is and no1 will buy it.
- TotalHalibut, on 12/01/2007, -2/+11I heard sites have to make money to survive, but this could be just propaganda put forth by the evil corporate pigs.
- TheZorch, on 12/01/2007, -0/+8In the online world if a site does something that people really don't like, they'll leave and won't ever come back. I hope Digg.com understands this, but it looks like GameSpot is learning this the hard way.
- soccerman90, on 12/01/2007, -2/+9so your saying. the system is messed up, deal with it. Wow your a dumbass prick
- RxDaniel, on 12/01/2007, -0/+7I think it's more insulting for a major site to get hacked by an 8 year old than a 20 something year old software developer.

- doshindude, on 12/01/2007, -0/+7actual link (it still sounds like they got hacked though, they wouldn't just make this for a test):
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?bo ... - 1337Einstein, on 12/01/2007, -0/+6But any move that reduces traffic, such as this one will and surely already has, will only serve to diminish the desirability of the ad space. This was a serious blunder and heads are definitely going to roll for it.
- louiedog, on 12/01/2007, -2/+7People still see ads? I haven't seen many ads since Adblock came out a million years ago (internet time).
- backflip10019, on 12/01/2007, -2/+7Internal error? What kind of internal error bashes their sister site? I think SBAllen was bending the truth to save their asses.
- NathanielJ, on 12/01/2007, -1/+6Don't forget that they spelled "its" incorrectly in that very same poll option.
- inactive, on 12/01/2007, -0/+5Oh man, how I love geek drama!
- Lithpiperpilot, on 12/01/2007, -6/+11It wasn't hacked. Go here for a post by sailorbacon, one of the admins for gamefaqs explanation.
http://warningspeeddemon.8k.com/photo.html - backflip10019, on 12/01/2007, -1/+5That it was not simply an internal error as Mimorox had stated.
- dannyboy3020, on 12/01/2007, -1/+5That doesn't mean we shouldn't/can't be outraged.
- RxDaniel, on 12/01/2007, -0/+4I never click ads anyway. Serious question: do they actually make money if I turn off ad block but still do not click any ads?
- slashug, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4My prediction? Alot of kids like M724 will post about it on digg and not do anything about it.
- Blah_Blah_Blah, on 12/01/2007, -2/+6Life, Universe, and Everything message board on GameFAQs. that message board was thought to implode on itself due to the sheer volume of madness that ensued within it.
- Typhoon2009, on 12/01/2007, -0/+4I really doubt that, considering a lot of users who have personal vendettas against GameFAQs, they JUST NOW figured out how to hack a POLL.
- SuperMoses, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3Those results are from a different poll. The poll options were just rewritten.
- Enjia, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3you have it passworded.
- patrflav, on 12/01/2007, -2/+5That was a publicity stunt
also lots of hackers come from not-English-speaking-countries, especially Russia. - inotocracy, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3Fail.
- spydrlink, on 12/01/2007, -0/+3I know I'm old (in my 30s) and I hate to sound like a tech-idiot...but WTF is a 5-way STP?
- Synn, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3A nerd, but angrier.
- HappyScrappy, on 12/01/2007, -0/+35 posts with the same post timestamp.
And that's epic, apparently. - iamaelephant, on 12/02/2007, -0/+2That's one ***** weird "internal error".
- Schneckehaus, on 12/01/2007, -0/+2stp = same time post.
I learned that by reading the picture and the circled areas.
Not hard ;) - xxbrighteyed, on 12/02/2007, -0/+1IGN's current staff would never, ever compromise their journalistic integrity for money, and they've stated this many times on their podcasts
- agaudet, on 12/02/2007, -0/+1why u dig him down
i didnt know either ;( - Blah_Blah_Blah, on 12/01/2007, -1/+2lol wut?
- LemonFresh33, on 12/01/2007, -1/+2use their comment forms to tell them what you think...
100000 comments won't do them much good :-) - Mujokan, on 07/18/2009, -0/+1:/
That's not good... Spammers are improving their game? - Pikester, on 12/02/2007, -1/+2I guess I was the only one that didn't know GameFAQs was owned by Cnet...
- M724, on 12/02/2007, -0/+1They'll bring him back, and screw Eidos. If their product isn't good enough, they have no right to cost someone his job because he spoke the truth.
My prediction? A large-scale boycott of everything Eidos, and people vandalizing game stores (and the Gamespot website) in the name of Jeff Gertsmann. - soccerman90, on 12/02/2007, -0/+1no you douchebag, the ***** thats happening is not capitalism
