GBAtemp.net acquired by CNET Networks

[darkpaladinmfc]

It took me 10 seconds before I realised that this is April Fools.

I was told some of you would react this way.

I'll just close the topic for now

You'll get used to it! We're not so bad!


Re-opened it. Hope for the best

Pete

You'll get used to it! We're not so bad!

I'm sorry, but I'll have to disagree with you there.

GBAtemp members never wanted this to happen.
We want it how it use to be.

CNET is destroying this community, and the community will have to be re-built (with the loss of many great friends).

I, along with tons of others, would like the Testing Area.
I mean - the whole damn GameFAQs forum is a Testing Area.
We can't have one small section dedicated to the laughter, fun, and building the community?

I can't believe this crap!
This can't be happening to my GBAtemp!

No, I'm not some n00b with 50 posts, I've been here since the GBA days, I remember the time when this site was more than just a release information site, the only reason I have a new account is because some schmuck from LL took over my old one a couple months ago and messed it all up, so the mods allowed me to make a new one.

I can't believe this crap, if we can't talk about mod chips, the latest scene releases and all that stuff what the HELL do we need GBAtemp for.
CNet just ruin everything, I can't believe this is happening, I dunno if KiVan is still around but the KiVan of old wouldn't have liked this that's for sure.

I'm so pissed, so mad and I know there's nothing that can be done.

No more info about flashcards, no more NOTHING!

gg guys, gg

 

[katsuce]

so, we'll probably have to say buh-bye to isos/roms releases announcements, that's a good one

any volunteers to help me create a new gbatemp?

j/k


a good friend of mine works for gamekult.com, who's also been bought by CNET last year, and I guess it'll only be good for the sites' admin, from what he told me

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

Hmph. I thought this was real until I noticed the CNET bar scrolling with the top of the page. Then I saw the date and put two and two together.

Waiting a few more hours would have made it a bit funnier.

Hmmm.... Why isn't this topic closed?

 

[shane1972]

Hi,

Easy Fix.
New site,New hosting and everybody leave gba temp if the site changes.
Everyone donate a few $ and we can get a new site up and running.
Just my 50 cents.

Never did I believe I would ever post this picture twice in one day...

CNet eh ... I guess the talks we were having with the IGN Network fell through? This is what I get for being away for a while. :|

I second that

 

[MC DUI]

Okay Smashfags that's your que to exit stage left, thanks for crashing the site so many times! And contributing crap all to the site and scene.





Seriously I hope many of them take the bait and leave, good stuff!

 

[Lumstar]

Right... Like we'd really be acquired by CNET. They own GameFAQs, our mortal enemy.

 

[Akoji]

Surprised me that no admin made an incrediable positive review on Kane&Lynch, WHICH SUCKED!, Or some member did a parody of it.

Well if it's not an April Joke, we can always bring up a guerrila and storm their offices.

 

[mattlouf]

hope to make GBAtemp a better place!

Was it bad before you came ?

 

[Shinigami Kiba]

wait just a cotton pickin' minute! This aint real!
I can't believe I fell for a damn April Fool's joke, I didn't even know it was the 1st already.

...dammit XD

 

[monaug5]

So has the owner of gbatemp made a big sack of money from this deal?
