Simple poll, how do you like the new name?  I vote #4. 

I wonder why they didn't pick it?  It seems like an obvious thing to consider and I don't know why they'd pass it up for what they went with.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom!

The name is a minor factor, but I agree with you that it's yet one more reason why this site doesn't feel like VGChartz to me anymore.

I don't know what would be best, but I'm not a fan of the gamr to say the least.

I'm not sure what's so awesome about being illiterate? Either spell it correctly, or choose another name.

i don't like it either

 

ITS like they have separated everything we love about VGC

now to check VGC's different deatures we have to go on a separate page

 

the HUB should atleast be like the VGC 2.0 with everything on VGC network on one page

From what I heard "gamerfeed" was already taken, and ioi didn't want to pay for it. And if one of them was named "gamrfeed" and then we had "gamerreview" that would look even more stupid.

That said, I dislike it.



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

I feel like this is kind of a funny complaint because  they were already using a z instead of s on VGChartz. I'm not sure how this mispelling is any different?

Rereading that comment sounds like I'm being critical of you, but really I'm just curious as to what you think the difference is.

XD I think I was a bit cynical yesterday on account of all the changes. I'll probably get used to gamrConnect, much like how it took everyone a while to get used to Nintendo Wii.

Though I don't know why the site couldn't of been called vgConnect?

It should be not a different website just for forums and profiles.
