'The beginning of something good'

Quote
Dear members, GBAtemp is now over five years old and is continuously growing in both size and popularity in ways we would never have expected in the past. As you can imagine, keeping such a popular website running smoothly and without hiccups is both an expensive and tedious task.

Up until now the sites hosting has been funded by the staff and more recently our affiliates whom we thank very much. Unfortunately we have reached a point in our GBAtemp's life where it's impossible to keep the site running by ourselves; we don't have the time or funds to keep this community online 24/7 -- a huge task for such a small group of staff members who have day jobs to attend to.

You may have heard rumours in the past few weeks or months that GBAtemp was considering an offer from an interested party. These rumours are true. Today we become an official CNET Networks channel partner...........

It's an April fools joke. Look at the first letters in the names of the "new mods" Adam, Peter Ryan, Ian and Liam.

It's an April Fools joke, and a bad one.

Eh, personally I think Youtube's trumps them all, sending all "featured videos" to Rick Roll.

If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
