I found this site because of its numbers, and without the numbers I left for awhile.

1. Consistent, frequent numbers

2. Do something about political discussion (I don't even know, quite frankly. They can be both fun and infuriating)

3. Mobile efforts have to change. I'd never visit this place on my phone unless I was desperate. Which I never am.

4. De-shittify the ad situation.

Make ioi actually give a shit again?

Everyone is wasting their breath, unfortunately, until this happens. Mods, admins, and writers are trying, believe me. We're constantly brainstorming ways to make this place better and healthier. But we don't have the keys to the kingdom, so to speak.



1) Maybe not take forever to get the sales charts up? It always is about 2 months late. We're barely seeing numbers for mid-July when it's already September now. I remember this place used to get the new sales charts up very often. And that's not even mentioning that period of time a while back where for months there were no sales charts at all. I'm not saying whoever is in charge of getting the sales up aren't trying their best or anything, who knows, but it shouldn't be this late imo considering that this site is literally about sales charts and such. 

2) A lot of the features on this site don't even seem to work so perhaps a revamp would do well and making sure everything is in working conidition.

3) Improve the way moderation/bans are handled. Now, this isn't me saying anything about the mods or anything, but just that I think a lot of the times i've seen people get banned it's really not needed in that situation and over such silly non-issue things sometimes and imo that would only discourage more people from joining once they see that and perhaps think that they're just going to get banned for something dumb like that as well. I think there have already been a few that have left the site just because of that. 



Whoa, all these people spying on us!

1) better/more consistent software/hardware tracking. Most people here were pulled in from the numbers.

2) revamp the spam/ads so that they aren't so fucking intrusive and website breaking on mobile.

3) ????

Profit.

Youtube is big because of cats.

VGChartz just needs to abandon video games and just focus on cats.

Reputable members from bigger organizations, Better tracking or features, better coded website.
Honestly, for some unknown reason, vgchartz drains my battery faster than any app on my phone.

The adverts are compute intensive, which does drain battery life, especially the animated ones.

Thank goodness for Ad Block. - Everyone should use it, then websites might get a clue and remove the intrusive and abusive advertising schemes.

Could hand over the keys to someone else, so to speak?

I second this.

Or at least make a Official Cat Picture Thread.

Stop banning bots. Anyone know why bots make accounts? Seems like a waste of their time

They want to have sex with humans and have hybrid human/robot babies.
