Edit: It’s funny how people here put “Forbes” in the thread title in an attempt to convey the article's importance or legitimacy, when these articles are rarely written by Forbes Staff, but random Forbes Contributors.


Don't know what are you talking about. Everytime i create a thread of an article i put the source name before it (i.e: [IGN], [GAMESPOT], [KOTAKU]). There is no attempt to convey anything at all. 

It is mostly my way of helping the others to know what kind of content they should expect without having to actually open the thread. 

I wasn’t singling you out with my post. I was just making an observation about this trend of putting “Forbes” in the thread title that many people like to do. You may put the name of the source in all of your thread title, which I have no problem with. There are a lot of other people who will not list the source in the thread title if the article is from some random gaming blog, but will put “Forbes” in the thread title if it came from Forbes, despite it being posted to Forbes by some random Contributor, and not the staff at Forbes.
