Censor bypass there, your post will be moderated if you don't delete it.

You can't say the name of the site because of an issue that occured in the past.

To answer the question, the admin of the site is known to be a thief, stealing contributors' guides without any permission, changing the authors' information, etc.

sorry, I wasn't aware of not being able to use that site name, but thanks for the info anyway :-)

I received an email from gameplayworld.com, requesting to use my Digimon World 4 faq, anybody know anything about this site? It seems pretty good.

gameplayworld seems like a new site, so there's not much to go by. I gave them my FAQs just to help them out. So far, nothing wrong.

Besides, you get to put that your FAQ was the "chosen" one from gameplayworld;)

Question. (edited for spelling <__<)
Should I have all the legal notes and stuff at the beginning or near the ending of the document? Does it make a difference?

Ive seen ones, like in the example in the second post, that they'll read that first so they must agree to it before read on.
I was just wondering whats the best way to use this stuff.

Something missing.
Scans do not indicate, forever shall I search.

It's valid either way (and in fact, it's not even mandatory for your work to be legally protected). I recommend it being on top, but it follows from that that it should be brief. Anything in your FAQ that comes before the actual FAQ itself should be brief, lest your reader lose interest before he even started (and/or gets annoyed having to scroll so much).

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Well, Ive got a nice one in the works being put in my current project, but its a bit long, so I stuck it on the bottom. I think it fits there the best.

Yess--Amen to that. Take mine, for example:

SuperCheats has requested permission to use my Hard Hitter Tennis Walkthrough.

Should I trust them, I understand they are on the "good site" list.

I've had no problems with them. Getting in contact with them is easy and the admin. seems to be very understanding.

Whatt about http://www.nboxgamer.com/ ? Is that a good site or not? They asked to use some of my savegames...

I just have one piece of advice for all of you. Don't die. That is all. - Captain Homard, La Pucelle

So... if you haven't given AOL permission to use your FAQ but it's up in their games area, is there anything that can be done about it? Or are they just on the good list because they don't modify all the faqs they steal?

AOL gets GameFAQs's FAQs. There's an option in contributor central to not share your stuff with affiliates, but you can't enter contribution contests if you do it.

Thanks for that info, sonofming. I figured it might be because it's an affiliate, but Gamespot didn't take it, so I wasn't sure.

WTF! I typoed in a ****ing copy and paste! ~ me

Is 1up.com any good?

If a stripper named Porscha and you get tips from many men

damn, 1up.com had my guide on their site without my permission, and then emails me asking me if they can use my guide. They even took my author and legal info off. But I think it was one of their users who posted it, not the actual site, and they removed it immediately when I pointed it out and then asked me to reconsider my position. So I'm kinda in the same boat - don't know about 1up.com

It's not the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.

1up.com is a huge site. I've emailed the owner of the site a few times and we sort of became good buddies at the time (he probably doesn't remember me by now.) They advertise all the time in EGM and just recently put up a FAQs section to their site. The owner/operators can be trusted 100% but I don't know about their users. Some of them seem bad to me, but that's no reason to let 1up host your guides. I let them host all of my guides. Also, I'm not sure if it was listed, but honest gamers is another great site for submitting FAQs to. There's a link to register in my quote, just click on my name and go to that link.

I know I saw that. I was the one that emailed you about it.

1up.com is good. If you're guide's up without permission and you tell them, it'll get taken off immediately.

Pass the potato!

that was you MetsRule? Thanks for pointing it out. Anyway, now CCC wants my guide. But apparently they are on the bad list, so I guess I'll won't give them permission...

It's not the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.

1UP.com is actually Ziff Davis' (publisher of EGM) online presence. So 1UP.com and EGM share the same content.

How exactly does CCC steal FAQs? I have a few of them up there with my permission and everything seems in order.

Dunno if this has been posted yet, but an age old tip to see if any sites have stolen your work is to google search your GameFAQs username and go through the pages.

CCC guy will sometimes ask for permission, but more often than not he'll take the guide no matter what the author says. What really burns my cannoli is that he edits the guides to include his site in the permissions section.

Yeah, I just recently discovered him editing my FAQs which I gave him permission to use. He took out every mention of the word "GameFAQs" throughout the FAQs. And in the section where I had all the sites listed he put his site at the top of the list like they were listed in some order of importance.

I sent him an email to change the FAQs if he ever wanted to use my FAQs again, and he did change it for my Advent Rising FAQ, but none of the others, so he's not getting any more of mine.

About some "legal" actions against CC (for as far as they got -_-):
- He asked permission; and I gave it him (bad idea; HTML format etc, very annoying).
- Rougly three months later, I send him a mail to remove my FAQs ASAP. No response.
- I send another mail two days later, stating: remove them within 24 hours before actions will be taken. No response within 22 hours.
- I send the same kind of mail, stating I want to have them off in 2 hours. Response....
- He said something like 'hey here in germany we have weekend too' etc.
- I (to be polite as possible) send back: 'I was sorry for being to fast, thank you for removing'.
- One month later, they're still on.
Can somebody hack him -_-?

CCC is a pretty horrible site, it's those damn Free IPod ads that drive me crazy. Not even the Mountain Dew audio ad we have here is that bad.

Anyone have an opinion on CheatPlanet.com?
