Gamefan was a company owned by Express.com that sold banner ads and provided webspace to gaming sites like VoodooExtreme and SomethingAwful (who recently switched to another company and has a law suit running against Express.com).
Here's a quote from one of the affiliates from the Gamefan network to one of their own hosted site :
I apologize for the short notice on this. I just received an e-mail from our hosts, GameFan Network, that they will no longer be providing hosting to any sites. ... This means that we cannot provide reliable hosting for the foreseeable future, even if we do secure new hosting. I strongly recommend you begin transferring your sites off immediately, as GFN says all access will be revoked by Monday
(Thanks PlanetCrap)
So what does this mean ?
This means that next to Gamefan's own portal site already being down, ALL their hosted sites (and next in line the hosted sites from the affiliates) are going down and will probably receive 0 money that Gamefan owns them for selling banner ads.
Those of you that have been following the problems Lowtax from SomethingAwful had with Gamefan/Expres.com probably saw this coming, but all in all it's still a pity that networks like these just don't play it fair and try to not pay their affiliates and come up with all kinds of excuses and then just shut down.
Funny note : on Express.com's own site there's no mentioning of Gamefan shutting down what so ever. Guess they can miss bad publicity...

Get the Gamefan mug.GameBandit, a distinctive presence in the Sparc Mac Discord community, stands out for his unique interests and experiences within the group. His admiration for buff, jacked gachi men is well-known among fellow Discord users. GameBandit's fascination with this particular aesthetic is a recurring topic of conversation, and he often shares images and discussions related to his interest. His enthusiasm for celebrating the human form in this way has carved out a niche for him within the community, where acceptance and understanding thrive.
Despite GameBandit's active participation and unique contributions, he often finds himself left out of group tagging within the Sparc Mac Discord. This situation can be quite isolating, as being tagged in group discussions is a way for members to engage with each other and stay updated on relevant conversations. GameBandit's struggle to be included serves as a reminder that online communities, while vibrant and welcoming, can sometimes inadvertently overlook certain individuals. Nonetheless, GameBandit continues to participate in the Discord, finding solace in his love for posting sound clips, a unique aspect of his online persona that remains his secret pleasure, keeping the community curious and entertained.

Get the Gamela mug.Common terminology for an older male at central North American comic/anime/science conventions. A Gaelan usually "creeps" on young girls dressed in cosplay by following them around the convention centre or watching them from afar. A Gaelan is usually crossdressing and uses it to strike up a conversation. Tends to be very into roleplay; uses it in sexual ways.
Example 1:
S: "Hey Alannah who's your friend there...?"
A: "Oh just this guy I met, he's cosplaying Nana!"
(Pulls Alannah away so he can't hear)
S: "Dude he's a total Gaelan! Ditch him!"
Example 2
G: "You... have epic cleavage."
S: "I'm only 16, gtfo!"
