All these sites are NOT the same. Seriously, GameFAQ's is the only database driven site I have come to know. One where users can submit something via a form, have it go into a queue and then have an authorized user allow it to pass to the database.
The other sites do not have this. They have the manual process and that is the worst way to go nowadays.
Personally CJayC's choice of ASP over PHP is kind of odd, but hey, they are very similar. I just don't like that whole supposed fee you are supposed to pay for every site you use ASP on (it's like 500US)...
As it stands GameFAQ's cannot charge for work they didn't do. If they change their submittion agreement to them becoming property of the site, then they could but then they wouldn't have as many FAQ's most likely.
All I'm saying is, GameFAQ's is big for a reason. I'd love to look at the coding for that site... but hey, I'm pretty sure I've already got it mostly figured out.
