Partially in response to the hotspot and partially because I have grown to love gamespot over the years I think it would be great to have a thread with messages of support and thanks for those still at Gamespot.

!! - Please keep this on topic - !!

Personally, thank you for coming out and talking to us. I was sad, angry and somewhat hurt by all that went on but am also happy to see you guys staying and keeping the dream alive. I don't plan on abandoning this awesome community that you have built up.

Thank you for all your continuing hard work, you guys rock!

I also love it here, and anyone that has ever talked to me knows that, I come for the community more than anything else, and I hope things smooth out and settle back down. I usually spend most of my free time here, and will probably do so until the place closes or they kick me out :lol:

You have contributed 70 odd posts. What exactly do we all owe you? The least you owe gamespot is thanks for being able to upload onto their server space with your profile pics.

I think I've been more than sufficiently in supporting gamespot by giving them my money all these years. And to be honest, other than the ad free browsing and high res videos, I've never really gotten anything in return for it. Can't participate in contest, tournaments, or any of that kind of stuff. A lot of betas I can't get into either. So basically all I got was the good videos and ad-free browsing, yet somehow all this time I've paid exactly the same as all other subscribers. So yea, I don't owe gamespot anything. And now that my trust in them has been wrecked, I owe them even less.

i come here for reviews and i never liked Jeff's. so... i can't say i really care about this from the perspective of Jeff not being here. i just hope that one of my favorite gaming sites isn't a corporate whore. but honestly i haven't seen enough conclusive evidence (fanboy rantings, conspiracy theories and speculation aside) to prove or disprove that.

I am starting to change my view completely around. I was mad at gamespot, but now i am starting to really get pissed of at its members. I mean they spam, hate, commit "account suicides" etc. So think about.... They are no better than Gamespot in my opinion. They go around and totally ruin the site for other members.

And for people calling Gamespot a CashWhore, can you please point at a business that isnt? Basically every business the World is hungry for money, so for you to single out Gamespot only, shows how narrow-minded you guys can get. Sheesh.....

Thats not to say i am dissapointed in Jeffs firing of course

By other places I mean here on GameSpot, unions and UCB's but I do have an account at LL and GamersPerspective but I rarely go there, I prefer GS, but I still go by GamersPerspective every now and then because I like the person who runs the site

Well i'd like to say thanks to the staff, over the last week they've still managed to hold this site together, through the revolution and losing a close colleauge.

They deserve to be applauded for this.

I still support gamespot, if i lost that i'd lose part of me and £22.

SO KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK GS

Wasn't really visiting Gamespot before the Jeff scandal, but know I do visit Gamespot, and I like it. How twisted and weird is that?

I can also visit TV.com using the same account. That's both convenient and potentially hazardous if someone hacked my account.

Did anyone feel that the number of visitors to Gamespot went down due to the Jeff scandal? Cause it feels like it doesn't. The thread "We Love Jeff" has almost 700 pages, and the articles about him have lots of comments!

I don't know.

I think the major blow was that this showed that GameSpot is part corporation and not just a bunch of guys hanging out having a good time. It was a weird crash to reality. It's unfortunate.

The only reason I am still here is to find out all the facts about the firing, (and of course account suicides ;)). Once there is more news, I will finally be switching over to gametrailers/IGN because their updates are just as good and there video reviews are slightly better. Jeff was my favorite reviewer of all time, and to hear that he got fired because of the Kane and Lynch review is horrible. And now JustPlainLucas is resigning from being a moderator (which again was my favorite mod). There is no reason to stick around here anymore. The news is delayed, the video reviews are sporadic, the reviews are biased and swayed by the advertisers, and the message boards are becoming a lot more hostile and repetitive. This is coming from a person who has been here for 4 years and have had 4 different accounts totalling over 1000 posts, so I may not financially support gamespot, but if only a few people visit this site, then the paid advertisements will stop, and in turn, Gamespot will lose money.

I like the community....I don't believe it was due to one review....and you have no evidence the other sites do business differently.
