Title: IGN Conquest???
Post by: Forest Guy on May 08, 2004, 10:38:30 AM
Every so often, while on the forums, I see a really tiny blue-gray square sitting at the top-left corner of the page, to the left of the AD banners. If I click on it, it takes me to IGN.

What the heck??

Coincidentally, I opened up a window and saw that little box, and had just begun to wonder what it was when I realized that I had just opened up this topic.

I don't know what it's deal is.
Assurs'ed IGN.

Go Moon!

Well, you know what they say: You can't spell ignorant without IGN.

....v...v disagree with metroids often get sucked dry.<•>_<•>

I also noticed something...those ads that come up every once in a while(the ones that you have to refresh the page to get past) don't appear anymore. Hmm...are these occurences related?

I was wondering about that little box.

A mystery it is, indeed.

Well it's like this: IGN and GameSpy merged. Last year, I think.

Oh yeah, I remember that...
There was a Penny Arcade comic about that, wasn't there?

So what's with the box though? They think that putting a tiny box which links to their site that appears randomly is gonna generate more hits on their site?

Yes.

I mean, it eventually would pique most people's curiosity. I think.

Hey, you clicked on it. I rest my case.
