Alright its a complaint. I really miss the feature where the platforms you own are listed right below your name. The feature is what set VGChartz aside from the other forums. Using this feature you always knew who were the real posters and who were the frauds. You could tell if someone was a fanboy or a legit gamer who played on the platform your convo was about.
Example on the Sony boards someone posts a highly critical thread about Sony. You look below their name and notice they only own a DS and Wii. Your then able to take what they say with a grain of salt or reply in a dignified and proper manner pointing out they themselves don't even own a Sony product. Same could be said in the Nintendo board when a person only owning a PSP and PS3 would post. Or how about on the X-Box board when Sony and Nintendo fans come in and fire off anti-Microsoft threads/replies.
The feature allowed you to get to know your other posters better. Example someone says in the gaming forum that their aren't many FPS titles out right now. You notice he only owns a Wii so your then able to suggest FPS titles for the console he owns. Or if someone says doesn't understand how the games industry is going casual and they only own a PS3, you can then come to a conclusion that on their platform of choice there aren't that many casuals
In the end that feature played a large role in why I always post in VGChartz rather then other gaming forums. The feature really set the site apart from the competition and added a personal and helpful touch to the forum.
