I'm asking this because GB is my favorite article/game page source and when i link people to it, either on other forums (like clan forums) or MSN, they dont really like the domain name and be like "i'll pass"

I've never linked this site to anyone.  Giant Bomb is my special place.

I've only told three friends about it since most of my friends don't really play videogames that much in comparison to most people here. So dar only one of them has joined but I don't see him around much. He loves the trivia section though.

Most people I have told about it have thought it has to do with terrorism. *sigh*

@SpikeSpiegel: It does :P
 
Usually, the people I link it to, don't click it. Most of them because they don't like Jeff (for the Twilight Princess review, as far as I can tell), and one just doesn't even try it, not clicking it because my other friends don't like it. Though, the latter person does watch some of the videos from the site that I link him to.

I don't link it, but I do tell some of my friends about it. They kindly listen, but I can tell they don't really care...

I've sent my friends enough questionable content for them to be wary of any website I link them.

Wait...it isn't. So long, Giantbomb. I'm leaving. I actually found this site because some dude searched into google 'giant bomb' because they thought it would get me arrested. Anyone I have linked this page to they have done so, because they thought it was a terrorist site.

If true, you should stop associating with those people immediately for your own good.

Nope.  I link news and videos to friends who aren't informed to GB.  They always click it :)

I've sent it to a few friends and they were a little weary of the website name, but once they were here they ended up making an account. 
 
Though none of them hardly ever post on the forums.

Workplace macros don't care that a site called 'GIANT BOMB' is actually about gaming.

I was never a into gamespot so I was unaware of giantbomb's existence. When someone linked me to it I thought it sounded kind of lame as well.

No, I rarely ever get the opportunity to post a link since this is the only forum that I spend time on.

Sure, often. But I have friends, that have been well aware of Gerstman and crew.  For a long time now. They also, certainly know looking up bombs online isn't going to hurt anything and have enough common sense to know.  You don't use your home PC, for something like that.  Like when you are planning to take over the Airport on Christmas Eve.  In order to force the government to release your mentor Warlord from prison.
 
Unfortunately, you can't look up info on how to stop.  Renegade off duty police officers. With anger issues and a high tolerance for pain.
