this... is by FAR.. the stupidest idea i have ever heard...
you could just add all the stuff on here.. an already popular site.
instead your going to split the community in half and distroy VGchartz or the new site? well done.

i can't believe how funny this is ahah

Because VGChartz has always been and will always be a sales site and nothing we do can change that.

The only way to make a bigger site is to start again.

well then shut Vgchartz down and open Vgchartz.co and start again.. yes Vgchartz is a sales site... we have MILLIONS on gaming sites that have nothing to do about sales.. 

i have NEVER heard such a stupid idea, who actually thought this was an amazing idea on the Team? if you did then your clearly wanting to kill this site.

i aint joining NoGamingComunity.CO so the OP can have friends LOL

Then don't... just stay here.

Most of the active forum member will remain here anyway.

After hearing some confirmation of what is actually going to happen I actually think it will work better... VGChartz.com will be returning to it's roots in a way without being cluttered up by reviews and such, and it's game database will be able to focus on sales again. More importantly the graph tools are returning, though that could have been implemented anyway and shouldn't have been taken out in the first place, but nm)

i would love that.. but it doesnt work on the community aspect. They need to go back the the drawing board and Link our pages and forums together, not split the community that makes the site popluar.

Looking forward to it! I think I'll be spending time on both GameWise and VGC.

Why don't you just say you're splitting the database people and review people and giving them their own sites? The review site will be gamrReview and the database will be Gamewise. gamrReview will have comments, like they do now and no forum. Gamewise will be like wiki with simple forums. VGChartz will lose the whole hub system and fully featured database with only a skeleton database to attach sales to. VGChartz will revert back to 1.5, but add another tier for Pro level data and provide skeleton data for free. Maybe even have skeleton reviews which will divert to gamerReview for the full reviews. The database may even divert to Gamewise for fully featured geekness. VGChartz will be a skeleton with a fully featured forum. If you want full all out sales data, you'll have to get Pro. If you want fully featured reviews, you'll have to go to gamrReview. If you want fully featured database, you'll have to go to Gamewise. In a sense we are splitting the site. The review team will go to gamrReview, the database team will go to Gamewise. The forum people will stay on VGChartz. It's been nice knowing you (green and blue people and forum regulars)..

I really doubt that they will leave the database here as it is. Looks horrible now.

 

I suggest the just leave the database that was here 4 months ago here. Take what information they want and put it on gamewise which seems like it will be filled up anyways with information. As it is from the forums page I can still get to the old database. So why not just leave it? It looked good for the site here.

The old database is gone from this site, my friend, along with gamrReview. What you see now is what you get. If the old database was left here, it would clash with Gamewise..  We have to make this database on VGChartz look pitiful so it holds nothing against Gamewise..
I don't think they even want people to know this site has a database. There is no database link on the top of each page. It's only on the front page.

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/browse.php?name=mario

 

Go to the top of the page in that entry tab below your profile picture. Click on games and type in mario.

 

Does that mean that gamrreview gets our old database? Will there be database admins on that site to keep up with it?


I don't think you can get there from the front page of VGChartz.com. gamrReview gets no database. That link is from the old gamrReview.

That's what I was afraid of, sounds awful.

Are we having any changes in Vgchartz (The sales part) and Gamrconnect?
