We provide a lot more content than NeoGAF does, so there is a good chance people are browsing the game database without being logged in, compared to NeoGAF where all you can do is browse the forums. I'd rather browse a real news source, as they typically link to anything good that actually originates at NeoGAF.

(GAF is down, odd, as I wasn't sure if they actually have more than forums or not)


What does that sentence mean?

Like any site that posts news (kotaku, IGN, n4g). Neogaf posts their news in the forums amongst lots of other stuff I'm not interested in sifting through, but they do post interesting stuff every once in a while. Also, I'm incapable of signing up for their website due to their overrestrictive rules, so I see no point in browsing their website. Sites like Kotaku have lots of news posts, and sometimes use NeoGAF as a source. So all the interesting stuff that NeoGAF posts usually gets picked up by others.

Oh. Thanks for explaining. Interesting.

Lots of people just want the sales numbers.

maybe a few of them are banned people who can't let go of VG chartz



Pineapple on 29 July 2009

It's not all that surprising. I tried to check this one (although my attempt failed), and it seems that VGChartz has you signed up for multiple hours after you exit the site. So even pressing a link here, closing the window, and not entering again, will leave you claiming to be a guest for a long time, several hours actually.

I was lurking to for ~ 6 months first before signing up, so it might take some time to convert the new lurkers. It would be interesting to see if the users number will go up in a year or so...
