That's right! Two things, first off, I have invented a word to describe that phenomenon when a site starts spraying advertising for one product all over their format. Second off, GameFAQs now has pages where the format is altered to incorporate all manner of advertising for things, just like IGN. Check out their Gamecube page to see for yourself. Fortunatly, it's a LOT tamer than what IGN does (just a banner ad and a color change).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
