Does that matters if the message is the same? I'd even argue that GAF being essentially an aggregator for gaming news is even more dangerous than a news site sharing highly disclaimer-ed insider tidbits. That's just me, though.
Well yeah, is GAF big enough on its own for any particularly damaging messages to have a significant effect or is it because of numerous gaming press sites like dualshockers not filtering the stuff on here and reporting everything in addition to their own stuff? There are different expectations for a forum compared to a gaming press site.
