heh you know what's always me laugh about them? check this out:

under the terms of service item B, it says "Negative commentary on given topics is by no means disallowed; however, such comments should attempt to be substantiated."

and then they proceed to say the following in the banned memes/etc page: "VG Chartzzzzz: Long history with GAF's sales-age. Numbers are never accurate. -- Posting anything from this site will result in a ban. Our numbers are right. Theirs are wrong. Period."

emphasis is added in both cases

hypocritical much?

Actually, After my last post...I believe we should ban Caturdays from VGChartz too. :/

No, it was fine. Didn't derail the thread.

Yeah, it's funny as he said the VGC community was so terrible. Glad to hear that GAF is treating him so well.

All of the heat he got on this site was his own doing.  I used to stick up for him at one time, but no more.

I'm sure he deserves what he's getting over there too.

What I find to be more amusing is the fact that we can mention GAF whenever we want but if you mention VGChartz on their site, they will ban you. I mean, I'm sure Brett isn't exactly a fan of their site but at least he allows us to conjur our own opinions.

 

ioi has a history with neogaf. As I understand it, they banned him for "making up" numbers and arguing with people who called him on it. They do this because they simply don't want people to quote vgchartz numbers for anything because they see ioi and in turn VGC numbers as chronically unreliable. This is the most succinct explanation I can offer.

Eh actually, as far as I know, Brett offered to do the tracking for their site... they said no... then he started vgchartz.  I think the "making numbers up" stuff isn't actual their belief so much as trying to save face from screwing up so badly. 

I mean, look at how big Vgchrtz is, how it's actually quoted in industry pieces and such.  Could of made gaf a lot of money.  They're just mad they screwed up.

So they don't let people compare and contrast the different numbers around the web? If they want to be taken seriously shouldn't they be more open minded?
