-I removed the image of the front page. The site has not launched yet, its just the blog. The site needs to launch first and then there should be a screenshot. -- [[User:Coasttocoast|Coasttocoast]] ([[User talk:Coasttocoast|talk]]) 05:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

-:Just because Giant Bomb is only in it's blog phase right now, doesn't mean we can't show a screenshot of what the blog looks like.  It is written under the image that it is only a screenshot of the blog phase of Giant Bomb.  Once the full site opens, we can change to image to a screenshot of the front page of the complete website.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Blakeelens|Blakeelens]] ([[User talk:Blakeelens|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Blakeelens|contribs]]) 13:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
