## The beginning

Smashfaqs beta started in the midst of the afternoon of 6/3/2021, where everyone on gamefaqs was chill and doing their own thing, when suddenly, a strange update saying the gamefaqs layout was completely changed started much controversy. Everything was ordered differently and everything changed, 50 posts per page in a topic, reports and quotes were switched, you could no longer track topics, the list goes on. Everyone on boards, such as the switch, xbox, ps4, pc boards were angered at the horrid sight of their phones and computers. This started a lot of rant, and people were going on and on about how terrible it was. The super smash bros board called it the "beginning of bizarrofaqs", which is a website that has the same posts and similar people to smashfaqs, but everyone was different. Some had a bizarro alt, which posts the same topics as the original. An admin named Allen had supposedly made changes to the website, and in under 2 hours, 400+ posts were made talking about changes and ranting about Gamefaqs beta. Allen was stubborn about answering users' posts and for a while everyone was going insane.

## The "Redemption arc"

After hours and hours of people going crazy over the new changes, Allen and the mods of gamefaqs finally came to a conclusion of changing the layout back to its wonderful original. For a while, people were celebrating over this, and the people of gamefaqs were amazed to see so many people agreeing and getting along with each other in one big group to propose a protest over this infamous action. For that moment, it was another page in the fascinating yet somewhat horrid history of gamefaqs, where we see a dream we never asked for.

## People in smashfaqs after the Great Gamefaqs Layout Catastrophe

They seemed to have calmed down after and all was peaceful...

*"Wait, the beta is just completely gone. Holy moly." - PacificFun*
"*Good news, I guess" - RandomEncounter*
*"Now that it's back to normal, it almost feels like it was all a dream." - Tom Nook*

...typically back to the way smashfaqs is right now, horny and lame. After a while of complete celebration, Smashfaqs user WelcomeToTheJam created the concept of the Smashfaqs: Betagame, a title clearly named after Endgame. Now it *will* be reknown as this now, because it's creative and cool.Apparently no one wants to really talk about the Beta Layout anymore, maybe because they're **WIMPS** to talk about them *FINALLY* AGREEING AND BANDING TOGETHER TO PROTEST ABOUT SOMETHING FOR ONCE IN A FUCKING LIFETIME. Anyways, even if many people will forget about it, it will still be in the great book of gamefaqs' history.
