I say leave all of thay for gamewise. Leave it open. Keep our stuff simple. Sites should be easy and not a chore to use. Both sites can still be linked.

Not to pester, but how would having a deeper database be a chore to use? I think that has more to do with UI than quantity of content.

No, I like talking about it. Have you gone to gamewise and tried to add to it? Whenever sites , including vgchartz get complicated people lose interest. We used to have, before theeware site split a lot of content. New members and even regular members grew tired of navigating it all. Was just too much. That is why most of our current database admins are not on gamewise.

Easy is always better and I doubt Trucks has time to bring gamewise all over hear. Also doubt ioi would allow it. Gamewise as far as I am aware is still a huge click and view mega site. Casual gamers hit it hard!

Oh, so it's more that its complicated to edit than it is that it's complicated to view? I can see how it can be a daunting tast for Trucks to make that experience more simple.

I don't think that it necessarily needs to be complicated though. IMDB is the example we've been using, and no one finds that too complicated. The way I think of things is that if one person can do something, everyone can. If gamewise is too complex, it's because gamewise is doing something wrong that can be made better. If editing complexity is the issue, a smart enough person can streamline that process and make it simple. Wiki-sites have that format down pact already. I think it's totally doable, even if it takes some hard work, and I think the end result could be very worth the effort.
