Nah, this place is better compared to most game websites(visit pokemon showdown and you'll see what I'm talking about).

Even with mods, you can't fix them.

Just appreciate that a chat can be longer than a page without someone calling you a faggot as an "insult".

....maybe just a little? lol

Then what's the Bra part...?

...Brah? O:


It's because I live on BRAzil.

Sonygirl has a different theory, though.

Oooooh, that's why. Thanks for clearin' that : 3

Sales being facts (twisted and spun in some cases obviously) mixed with subjective opinions make for a toxic mix.

I like to think of myself as pretty balanced, definitely alot more than I used to, but I'm older. *Looks around sheepishly.

Maybe if mods explained to moderated users what they had done wrong they could self reflect? Does that happen? I don't know. I'm all for making this a better thread. Reputation system so people can see the fanboys? That could be abused though...

I'm convinced a small amount of fanboys are more clever than they seem and enjoy winding people up. Basically trolling.

That's called love. Blind love!

I guess it would mean being a fanboy going to FF threads to shit on them because I love it.

Though I'm sure I've already called myself a LoD fanboy at least two or three times here on VGC.... xP

Hey I never said it was a bad thing

Fudge ad block and similar services. Just boycott a website if the ads are too bad.

 

 

Also, ad block has sold out. http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2015/09/adblock-letting-compnies-pay-to-show-their-ads You should switch to a different program

That's Adblock Plus which is unrelated to AdBlock which still works. Adblock Plus is made by intellegent sleeze balls who use the good name of AdBlock to trick consumers.

The way I see it, Ads are a fairly inefficient and annoyng way to make money, that can damage an endusers browsing experience and even their computer. Best to not give em the chance ;) 


I thought I was the only one who knew this...

The vast majority of human beings (not just people who come here) can't differentiate between something they love and reality. It's just human nature. I've been called a Nintendo, Xbox and Sony fanatic on here multiple times all because I have something bad to say about all three of them and a lot of people can't wrap their heads around the idea that maybe not everyone is biased.

Being a fan of games and not a company is rare these days... lol

A lot of people here make haughty comments, even if somewhat untrue to reality. Just because they saw another guy from the opposing side do the same thing.

Ex: "MS fans thought Forza 6 would sell 4m."
"Sony fans thought Halo 5 would only sell 2m LTD"
"Nintendo fans thought Wii U would sell 80m LTD"

When its all just generalizing, and all the extreme comments should not be taken seriously unless they come true. ( A la Tbone and Splatoon)


Nah my post WAS about 1 specific user. No generalizing at all.

If you did I would have to confiscate your Dragoon Spirit.

Be aware of that!


Nooo! They already jacked my red Dragoon spirit once and stuck me with that boring fat divine spirit. Lloyd got to stay all pimp with it, but of course it turns Dart into a big ol fatty with just two moves.

It's a site about sales data. This leads to some rather biased views on things.
