In all seriousness I visit the site because of all the different topics of discussion from sales to Sony to xbox to nintendo to news and even politics . I use to be in a Nintendo only site but I feel out it with so I like the various topics vgchartz has to discuss.

Sales, Games, Anime, Sports, General.

NPD Threads (numbers just come late)
Media Create
Random GFK/Individual country/ Company financial numbers

Top 50 thread
General threads that notify me of release dates etc.

Anime Thread

American Football League thread

Interesting discussions and all in one place that I can organize things, plus this is basically me only Social Media, as I don't care about Facebook or anything else really.

I like the community. Even if people (myself included) clash sometimes, it still is pretty active and we have a good degree of freedom to talk. The latter is a problem I see with Neogaf, where the strict mods are effective to fight trolls, but the end result is a website where it seems like everyone thinks the same, almost a hive mind.

It's also great for checking gaming news. And I'm not saying that thinking about the news sections, I'm talking about the forums. A quick glance at the hot topics show any interesting game news and clicking on the thread allows me to not only check it but also read a bunch of opinions about the topic.

The sales data are not that much up-to-date anymore. But it still is the best source in most cases, since companies only updates us on numbers every 3 months or so (MS doesn't anymore). Ok, we have reliable NPD and Media Create/Famitsu numbers, but what about EU and ROW? VGC still is reasonably accurate in hardware numbers. Software is more hit or miss, but it still is way better than nothing (what other websites give to us). Just look at Wikipedia "highest-selling games" lists, is laughably outdated. And even for NPD/MC/Famitsu, the forums always have the most recent numbers.

It is also the best site to discuss sales. Most forums are full of people that are absolutely clueless about sales. They don't have the slight idea of how much consoles or games did sell. Gaf people are a bit better, but as they refuse to use VGC numbers they are normally always out-of-touch of how things are going outside of NA. Really, it seems like only users off this website know what the hell is happening on the market.

Well, the site needs a face-lift and a mobile versions. A modern forum. And also it should remove the ridiculously nasty ads (no problem for me, Adblock). No problem with ads as long as they are not intrusive (the fact that most websites disrespect this is why I'm Adblocking everyone).

Mostly out of habit now. I've been on this site a while and whilst I don't post much now, and the users have changed over the years it has still managed to maintain a community vibe.

Also, the mods have managed to keep the forums fairly civil with a higher level of discussion than most forums that get filled with troll bait.

I miss every last mouth breather in here. lol I post on GAF too, but it's full of crazy SJW's, and cucks.

Oh, so you're back?

In small doses. But, yeah. 

I'm used to this forum layout, it's my first and probably only one I'll ever have. If this goes down I'm not joining another place and learning who everyone is etc. (I don't even know everyone here)

But I guess I deal with the many many issues that plague this site just cause I'm used to it and it's apart of my daily routine and has been for the past 4 years.

I come here for the slow loading times and the skittering pages because of the myriad of ads. I also love/love/love when the pages get stuck and I have to close the site and sometimes even restart my laptop once in a while because it is more than stuck. And when you close the site and the ads' audio still runs. Plus, being accounting oriented, I love numbers and chart[z]. And games...
