Gamefaqs is a great site if you are trying to find out any info on a video game. Even the boards can be good if you have a question about something video game related, as long as you are specific. I usually find the people there helpful...
HOWEVER...
The boards in genereal ARE populated by annoying fanboys and other kids who just post meaningless stuff all the time. And there are all kinds of 'factions', like the boards you can access once you reach like level 31, you know I am expecting something special...nope, just more idiot kids with their meaningless blather posts. The forums are modded pretty heavy handedly and that is probably because of all the idiots that are on there 24/7. I do find the boards interesting reading material sometimes, like in the 'Random Insanity' forum, just bizzare stuff.
I view it as a place that is kind of fun to visit, but not to 'live' in terms of forum usage.
