This. Granted as I have said before we still don't know what REALLY happened.
They stopped counting the amount of Gamefaqs users online.
i think alot of the people left gamespot when GiantBomb was created
Gerstman incident + Giantbomb + Stricter mods + weaker staff (especially for the PC section) hasn't done any good for this site.
Corruption.
Well spoken, the ''Giant Bomb'' incident could well have been the nail in the coffin.Create a gaming site with no limits, why would anyone look down when they can look up?

giantbomb.com Do it. Now.
well a while ago GB was created and its a gaming site like Gamespot and has a forum, but the forums dont really have any rules, and if i remeber correctly it was created by Jeff Ghertsman(SP?) so alot of gamespot users left to go to Giantbombs forums.

It's a decent site, I like it.
GiantBomb (Gerstmann) is the main reason why GS mods have become more relaxed...now watch me get modded for this...

Since you so lovingly added that last part, I wouldn't doubt it.
Giant bomb's forums are like a ghost town.

It's all good- I'm like a ghost (without the town). I keep haunting, regardless.
