I remember her as a community manager, but other than that I paid little attention to her.

Only the walkthroughs.
I don't know which is worse: fanboys or elitist.

Her FAQs are all high quality and she has a positive relationship with FAQ contributors bewear

Isn't it funny the amount of stories that get blown our of proportion when a job is simply nullified because CBSi realizes they need a Data Admin, not a Community Manager - and are too cheap to have more than 1 part time employee that they work full time hours?
It's a pretty obvious question: If I was fired for being s*** at my job, why didn't they hire someone better instead of a different position?

Meh, blowing things out of proportion is what tends to habit when some sort of site figurehead / major person / etc. has something - positive or negative - happen to them. Had a fair amount of stuff like that happen to me too - sometimes hilarious, sometimes just sad, usually just annoying and inaccurate.
*shrug*
Plus you'd think CBSi could afford more than just 3 (well 5 but two barely visit so whatevs) admins. Gotta love it when people are cheap though. >_>

GameFAQs is one of their smallest holdings, but brings in more profit than most of the other sites, even Game Spot. Yet they won't hire full time employees because then they'd have to pay benefits, like health, and instead just hire part time. It's a common practice thanks to Obama Care.
Even the Data Admin job was marketed as part time.

Yea.
As of January 1, 2015, employers with 50 or more full time equivalent (FTE) employees are required to provide health coverage to full-time employees or else pay a tax penalty.
It's one of the main reasons that companies don't hire many full time employees anymore, but rather a swath of part time employees for anything not administrative.

Doubtful, since they run fine with the small crew they have. GameFAQs doesn't need much maintenance, since it's not a gaming news site with authors and editors or podcasting like Giant Bomb.

I probably should pay attention to this kind of stuff. >_>

Well, there's an array of stuff.
Spud's Adventure on the GameBoy is still something I'm trying to finish. Trying to make a map for its dungeons was just sheer hell and I stopped touching it for like four months simply because mapping it was so hellish. I finished the first map (of the first dungeon) and went "okay, f*** this, I can't be arsed to finish the maps." I still want to make an FAQ for it but it ties into other stuff.
There's other games I want to write for. Final Fantasy I, III, IV, and V come to mind in the vein of bover's tactic of getting HTML guides out for the other games in the series. But I think the whole "dude, there's already plenty of guides out for them" thing is holding me back. I also have smaller guides in mind for IV and V at minimum - enemy lists and such - but I'm probably not going to follow that.
I was thinking of making a save state editing guide for Pokemon Red/Blue just because I got into watching a lot of glitch videos for Pokemon Red/Blue on YouTube lately (TheZZAZZGlitch and ChickasaurusGL being two main YouTubers contributing to that). And my best friend is trying to work out a guide for Picross e7 and we might cover a few Super Famicom Picross games together just ... well, because we're friends, no other reason.
And then there's that list of like 100 games I want to map. >_>
But overall, it's all basically held back by a few things - lack of motivation and being depressed. Dealing with university on top of that doesn't help, and the s*** home situation I mentioned in the FP topic doesn't help. (And then throw on top of that me not being at home - which sounds minor but it doesn't feel the same if I'm not writing the FAQs in the same place as I did from 13-18. I'm just weird. >_>) It's hard enough to make me update my guides - I left a major bit out of my Sun/Moon guide and couldn't get the motivation to fix it for like four months, just as an example - and that's not the only guide that's missing updates. >_<
I feel like I'm on the verge of just giving up.

Yeah I'm sure that's all that happened. You sound a bit disgruntled with the "they're too cheap" line so I'm betting there's more to the story. Companies usually don't "simply" nullify a job either unless some s*** goes down.

Aw, I totally know how you feel in this regard. After Berseria and Horizon I needed a gaming break for a week and a writing break, so I'm just playing the last AC Chronicles game and posting the vids on my Youtube. Not sure when I will finish up the appendix sections of Berseria or Dishonored 2, which needs some images for the collectibles and runes.
Oh well. All in good time. Sometimes life needs to come before hobbies. I hope things get better for you soon.
Off to the post office - I have to shop 3 priority boxes full of my Arkham Horror board game + Expansions that I sold on ebay. I don't have time for board gaming much anymore and that whole set takes up a ton of space.

Typically tech sector jobs pay well. I don't see much difference in choosing to work for Tv Tropes instead.

Okay, I mean working in the capacity that Krystal did, like just posting s*** on the boards and reviewing contributions and stuff like that. Some people already do some of that stuff for free; it doesn't even sound like a real job. If it's just working on the backend programming stuff and not having to deal with the community, then sure, working for GameFAQs probably isn't a terrible job.

Software Engineers and Software Programmers like Devin make pretty good money, but he's right that even basic jobs in the tech sector pay decent money. Is it enough to live on? Depends where you live and if you're hired full time. In addition, CBSi is based in San Francisco, so the pay bracket is pretty high for California. Since Allen is telecommuting from another state, I'd assume he makes more than enough to live on as a Product Manager, and Devin makes enough to live in California.

I didn't know she even got fired. I don't remember her doing anything egregious and it seems like she is doing ok so good for her :)

the only real interaction I had with her was about the chances of getting pregnant from pulling out. she didn't like the figure that is supported by various studies and then didn't like it that I used math ( .04 x .26 = .001 or 1% chance you would become accidentally pregnant in a given month)
I wasn't even mad, just astounded a community manager had such a toxic relationship with the community

The fact that she fell for it an additional two times is pretty bad on her part.

That's odd, because I would agree with your that the chances are slim. That being said, I'd also have said that it wasn't worth the risk. Besides, "mama's baby, daddy's maybe".

Could have been a hypothetical conversation of something. Totally agree, tho. Not worth the risk of knocking her up and/or being accused of being the daddy of her baby down the line for an unplanned pregnancy that you aren't even sure is yours. Honestly, men get the s***ty end of the stick - the only way a woman wouldn't know who the dad is is if she sleeps around a lot.
