I know there's people here who would take interest in this. GameFAQs current "Poll of the Day" asks how you pronounce the name of the site. Let's see what the winner is.
(My vote is on "game-faks").
The poll is located here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/
The current results here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5128

I have a 13+ year old account there. It has always been Game Faks for me. :)

It's obvious FAKS is going to win. But it doesn't make it right. FAQ stands for something, just like UFO stands for something. And I don't see anyone running around calling them OOFOHS. Same goes for any three letter abbreviation.

It's just how it is, yo.

Gamefaks.... sorry. It's just quicker to say... and I've been saying it that way since 2001. I CAN'T GO BACK.

It should also be noted that this poll was done three other times, and each time the results were pretty much the same.
