Great blue design, awesome database (TalonMan !), promises were kept, numbers were discussed. Those were the days.

BTW: The most active one of the oldest members (i.e. profiles created in 2006) is superchunk (VGC member #136), the oldest members still online from time to time are ex-mod mrstickball (#53) and database admin quigontcb (#19).

I may go the way of Snake612 soon.

OH NOO!!!

You already left once and came back after we had to go through a lot of trouble getting you back!! First we used our internetz spies to track down your youtube account.. some say it was just a quick google search but we did hire spies...  then tried to convince all the active women on the site to ask you back, in the end only NFG wanted to ask you back... in the meantime we men tracked down the member which got you so upset and left the site.. We used the combined powers of  2 google accounts to find him.. when we tracked him down in Germany, 5 of us drove down there and ... well lets just say his mother wasn't to pleased what we did to her son... we don't want to repeat that again

Lmfao!  Did he suffer?  Please tell me he did!  If I ever did leave, it would be exactly like Snake.  I'd come back almost immediately.  It's just hard finding a worthwhile thread to post in.  I don't even think I'd mind a good troll thread right about now.  What is Superman without his Lex Luthor?

That blue layout looked great! The current layout sucks ass.

@ people reminiscing, the chart tools will be back soon according to ioi, and this place will liven up again with crazy predictions etc. when the PS4 and the 720 launch next year!


What's this chart tool you speak of?

You could generate graphs out of the database. This stuff some people do now with excel, copying the data to excel to generate graphs.

And generally: Lesser amount of advertisement, simpler layout, more centered around the data. That made thins better for some people.

... How could I ever forget about JohnLucas.

He was VGC's prophet. His word was THE word

Would you mind giving me an example? what did He predict?

That PS3 would outsell Wii for one. He might be right on the money there if all goes according to plan

Hehe those crazy predictions will surely come soon again =)

Oh, we had a few.  They posted all the time, too.  We had Onna, NFG, Lolita, Girl Gamer Elite (She wasn't a man, dammit!), GBallzack, Trashleg, some insanely hot girl that was so hot I didn'te even want to talk to her--can't remember her name, though, VGChartz Girl, and others.  Aside from a few, most of them weren't just here for attention, either.  They really knew their stuff.  The ones that were always trying to flirt were (GBZ, GGE) were the ones that were suspect but I still think they were really girls.  Trashleg was my friend on XBL and NFG and Onna were my friends on Wii.  I miss those guys.

I can't tell you that... it's for your own protection that you can't know what happend.. the 5 of us will carry that burden, but it was worth it getting you back.. lets just say there is a good reason he never came back here... and don't worry about the threads.. e3 coming up, new consoles, new gen, there should be some great threads coming up in the future..
