Why I hated VGCHARTZ so much!

The first time when I heard about VGCHARTZ was on gametrailers when someone created a thread called
'According to VGCHARTZ the PS3 has only 5 million sellers'. I tell you the thread was a party for the trolls.

From then on I saw VGCHARTZ poping up more frequently on game forums and every thread with vgchartz in his name was just another excuse for trolls to flame as hell.  Stuff like 'Game x sold less than Y so game Yis better' really made me rise up in anger. So I started just to put up comments as 'VG sales are guesstimates'.

I had the feeling VGCHARTZ only was their to put up a new level of fanboyism. 

It is sad though because I find out now VGCHARTZ is great.

The community is awesome and more wise than other community's, their are still some annoying members on this forum though who deserve a kick in the **** (or a girlfriend would help aswell to lose their frustration but I prefer that they get a kick in the **** cause it would be more fun for me :) ).

Anyway from now on I will defend VGCHARTZ on other forums! VGCHARTZ defense force where are you?

This site doesn't deserve the hate and especially Brett doesn't deserve it.  A guy like him should get the praise of gamers worldwide for what he is doing for us!

So.........Thanks Brett ^^!


Other ones who didnt' liked VGCHARTZ at first?

I've got some answers for that. First of all, it's an exhaustive process. Going on GT telling some 13 year old that VG chartz is actually quite accurate, showing proof and discussing that quite elaborate will leave you with: "You fag, sthe site is shite because it is not as accurate as NPD!" Remember... an idiot drags you down to his level, then beats you with experience.

Secondly, a lot of people enjoy it so much here that most people do no longer visit other forums, thus only knowing from other sites' reactions through other posters (like yours.)

To me, the site is great and has awesome MATURE members. I mean, a guy proclaiming the awesomeness that is CGI and hyping up heavy rain will not hold back to defend wii games he enjoys...that's great and I have not found it anywhere else.

I do wish that sometimes, the mods would not ban as quickly when the troll in question is garnering awesome laughs. For instance, Crazzyman... just ban the guy for a few hours, instead of months. We need people like him for the lulz!
