nobady's tried to rebel?!? I guess I'll do that then.

was firing Jeff a bad idea?

yes. for one, they should have more than one person review a game. preferabaly 3 or 5. I have lost little credibility in GS though. GS has always been a place where the rating are generaly low. GSers are just so stuck to GS opinion, that they forget that GS opinion does not Make or break a game. one look at the shared boards shows you that. And who knows!?!? maybe he IS biased. maybe heIS trying to give games a low score. this si just like politics, a load of bull ****. but nobady can be sure, wich is why I can understand some of you are ticked off. but can we have one person, speak for the whole group? NO. ''''this, my friends, is Game spots fault.'''' but I can not stress it enough, that if you have trouble with a SINGLE OPINION, and you think, that THAT OPINION MATTERS, then Get a life. if you are just doing it because everyone else is, or because you all of a sudden care about a guy you mostly don't know, get over it, and learn that it will; no affect you, your life, your job, your income, and is not relevant to you, as a normal Human in ANY WAY!

is leaving a good idea?

No. GS is a good place to socialize, and talk. Also, It's a great place to show off GIMP and PS work. opposed to Deviant art, where you can't talk about it much. Blogs are a huge part of it too. there's lots to do here. why would you leave a place you love so much? it is irrelevant. it happened. it's over. this is about video games, not petitoins, and conflict, about Cnet's choices.

I don't have the idea of leaving, nor do my close friends.

You don't have to leave, but I would suggest canceling your subscription.

....I wish Jeff would come out and speak. I wonder if he's legally binded against speaking on his termination. =/

When you work for a big company you usually have something called a "debreif" They go over trade secrets, things you can and can't say blah blah blah. Also you have to realize you never want to burn bridges even with the people who canned you. Severance packages can sometimes come with stipulations too.

Give it some time and I'm sure Jeff will give the whole deal on what happened.

However that doesn't mean stop putting the pressure on CNET, Gamespot, and Edios. :)

Rember if things do pan out, you can always reactivate your account, but a cancelation will send a clear message.

I would also suggest not buying any Edios games... not that they have any good games in the pipe right now.

THey may have taken the Soap Box Down, but Tags and Popular User Movies are still up.

We could start tagging every game on the site with stuff "Fired Jeff Gertsman" and will apear on the top list of tags

Also we could start giving thumbs up to movies like this:

Did you notice they took the "top forums" post thing off the front page?
