Whyy...? T_T I love watching Final Bosman and GT Time, along with Retrospective and Pop-Fiction... it's so sudden too... I blame their rather poor website. I could barely watch anything on it... T_T

Pop-Fiction was fantastic...

I was on the GT forum at one point but was lured away after a major redesign...

Right?! It was soo good! xD I was always excited to see a new episode. It's too bad Damiani left. I really liked that guy, even though he was a harsh critic.

I wasn't on the forum exactly, but I used to leave comments on their videos at times, haha.

I used to be on the GT forums as well, but moved over here several years ago. Dunno how it was recently, but at the time the fanboy wars was terrible and people were trolling and flaming everywhere.

Anyway as I already said in the news section, it surprises me, but as of... 3 years or so, every major site redesign has been pretty bad and the media player they use for all of their videos is absolutely terrible:
Issues with proper buffering; when going into/or exiting fullscreen it can happen that there's only audio left; lagging videos etc.

I saw myself using it less and less.



On the actual topic itself, this is a pretty sucky thing.

GT had a lot of fantastic features, the place is gonna be missed. Hope the staff find new places to continue making great content.

Someone great will hopefully get Kyle Bosman and let him do his thing.

Welp, here I am.

Moved from GameTrailes.com to my probably new home :)

It's so sad, but I can't live without a forum community.

Hello everyone.

Hey there and welcome! Already starting off on the right feet, too! CATS!

C'mon, let's not start a Cats VS Dogs debate again.
After all, it's obvious that dogs are better

For the newcomers, besides checking the forum rules, it's worth to check out the tutorial thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=202119

This place is very green. I don't like it.

I talked to an admin, Machina, a while back and he told me that he has plans to chnage the color scheme. Welcome to VGChartz in any case!

I haven't been there in ages, but I did love a lot of their segments!



Good riddance.

They called Zero Wing a bad game. That's not cool.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Only went on that site a handful of times and can't say I cared for the design of the site personally.

Hold on there! When did that happen?

I still remember when this design came and how people complained about the VGC Buddy (people didn't like it and some wanted it fixed at the top of the page) and the green color. We were promised a solution... but it never came.

I don't remeber who was, but someone made Firefox scripts that changed the color to blue (the old VGC color) and red. We should have the ability to do that.

I've previously seen stats that indicate ad-blocker usage amongst gamers on videogame news sites is higher than even ad-blocker on porn sites.

That's not too surprising. Obnoxious or annoying ads = ad blocker. I started using ad blocker because of this site. 

Hopefully you disable ads for certain sites then. Some sites deliver great content without obnoxious ads, and it sucks if they don't get their well deserved ad-revenue. (FYI I'm not neccesarily talking about VGC )
