CNet is owned by CBS Interactive, which also acquired GameFAQs and Gamespot. Hence their linking to a site that hardly anyone uses anymore in the age of wikis.
That reminds me of the incredible stories that Jeff Gerstamnn told about back in the old days when Gamefaqs had individual forums for each games (might still be like that now...haven't been there in years) and people were using the forum of a super obscure game that nobody checked to hang out and sell drugs hahaha.
