Site about sales.
Latest sales are March 28th.
Today is May 20th, almost 2 months later.

Deal with the fact that the site is basically dead in terms of what it is supposed to be.

I'm not offended by it so don't worry about that. It's just slightly unsettling to hear this (or words similar to what you are saying) from so many people, particularly over the past few weeks. I've heard a lot of it over PM's and off-site chat but it seems to be a bigger issue than I'd anticipated, or even feared. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying to improve the site and make it a better place for everyone on it; that would be defeatist and it would be letting my friends down. I've no intention of doing that. 

I have thought the same....That's exasperating:P

I remember when we went the first month without and update and when they were updated people just was saying "undertracked/overtracked, still haven't fixed ___ numbers" Wouldn't be surprised if that is having an affect on output.

I'd be perfectly fine if ioi were a bit more concrete. If he came here and said, "look, I have a lot of shit going on, so I won't post many updates until July", or "look, I don't know when I will post numbers again, coz I broke my leg", then I would be feeling better about it. It would give me a reason to trust that the numbers will be back and it would give me a reason to be more understanding.

What are you doing? Spurgonryan will come back to make thousands of threads about.... everything... if you complain too much

I found this site after being permanently banned from teamxbox.com for posting Wii sales data from vgchartz...I think vgchartz suffers like any other social media site...as user base ages can you keep them coming back and to often the answer is no. Site is mainly a place bombarded by fan boys ideals...my two cents

I think that's the main problem.

In terms of sales debates, you're absolutely right. But, to be perfectly honest, the sales debates were never especially interesting to me. I rarely saw deep, insightful analyses of sales trends, market shifts, and pre-order patterns. Much more frequently I saw "game X is winning, lol" or "system Y is doomed, lmao." Sales figures on VGChartz are more often used as artillery in a never-ending console war, rather than an entree to a meaningful discussion about the video game market.

So, while I know some members here miss them desperately, I don't mind their absence. It's the community here that brings me back, not the numbers. 

I think it would be better if the sales were released monthly anyway. They would be more accurate and easier to follow.
