Any else experience the 'fun' lately at ign.com? How they moved their forums and they are now a pay service. Also how you are limited to only viewing 5 images/movies (per day) on their site before being made to pay.

I can understand why they are doing it, internet just isn't what it used to. They have staff to pay and server/bandwith fees. Still it just tick's me off.

There is a solution to the images/movies thing however. Disable cookies from ign.com, snowball.com, and any other ign related site.

I miss daily radar. Anyone else remember their funny images of the day?

People are becoming poorer and poorer everyday since the 911 attack.

I just went there to look at the cheat codes site(www.gamesages.com), and they make you register and they even ask you for money! What has that site come to? I think two words can describe it.. it sucks.
