Gamefaqs, i only use for codes and guides, i do all of my posting at gamewinners. Gamefaqs forums are lame looking too, and the site moves kinda slow. I like software where you can use avatars, and sigs, and skins. Gamefaqs forums are not the worse too, but it looks kinda weird and again the site kinda moves so.
But yea gamefaqs is better then ign. I only visit for reviews, because they have the best. But i dont see why you have to pay to use thier forum, thats weird. Kinda like gamespy which i use all the time for online gaming, its the best gaming server around, but paying for it, the features you get are not worth it.
