GameFAQs is useless.
I submitted those two FAQs. Both were rejected for lack of content. Considering there is no other FAQs, and these are helpful, that's pretty lame. Had there been other FAQs, it would have been reasonable. I mean, there certainly isn't that much content in them. But for the purpose they serve, I'm going to pretty them up and add filler text just to make some quota. Oh well. I'm not resubmitting. I'll just start building it into the HTML of LunarNET. To hell with GameFAQs.

Possibly if they were combined into one?
But yeah, I don't get the criteria for faq submission at all. There are faqs for just bosses. There are faqs that are just the solution to one puzzle. There are faqs that are just series endings, for gosh sakes -- how crucial is it to simply know how other games in the series end?? Maybe they think that if there's only one or two faqs then they should be full walkthroughs. Which is dumb, considering how linear the game is.

You only just discovered the uselessness of GameFAQs? Well, actually, the boards are typically semi-nice pre-release since no one is in there except for the fans, but post-release it's a madhouse. On top of that, the administration absolutely sucks, and everyone is promoted based on post count rather than post content.

Its because gamefaqs is run by idiots. Its not a professional setup for sure. There is a website out there somewhere that shows moderations from the site, most of which are uncalled for. Some of the mods just seem to do it because they get bored and want to harrass someone. Hell I've gotten moderated for answering someone's direct question to me, after someone else had already answered it, on the basis that it was repeat posting. Messed up huh? If their message boards are set up that way, imagine how poorly organized that their submission guidelines must be.
