As long as GameFaqs continues to be free in terms of access to walkthroughs/maps, I'd be willing to bear even the 'Shock the Monkey' ad.
...Of course, Norton Internet Security turns the ad into one big chunk of black so my point is somewhat moot. :P

The main reason GameFAQs is big is because it grew organically. CJayC wrote FAQs for Usenet, CJayC made a FAQ archive in AOL, CJayC bought a domain and programmed a professional site, etc.. etc... it grew in small steps, not one giant leap.
Most of the copycat sites when they are starting up:
1. Use spiders to crawl for FAQs, CJC PWNS them in 2.0 seconds.
or
2. Download FAQs manually but don't ask permission from writers, the writers usually on-mass email the domains network provider with "copyright infringement" notices and they get PWNED.
or
3. They use mass mailing to get permission from writers.
The worst thing you can do is get the people that write your content off side. IGN were smart, because they gave the writers incentives from the get go. I felt obligated to send them updates because they sent me Final Fantasy Tactics and Animal Crossing.
I'll vouch for copycat sites stealing FAQs without asking permission, despite warnings being in there about doing it. FBGames was nice while it was around, although they were far too lax about what they would accept.
It's God's way of punishing everyone for using IE.
There's a difference between having a sponsored poll and having your entire webpage littered with greasy breakfast sandwiches.
this is off topic but ive been meaning to ask
Chao what is that from thats in your sig?
If they're gonna charge, I want a fucking cut for the Herzog Zwei FAQ I wrote.
