The forums have fallen off and aren't as interesting as they used to be. I still check regularly, but I don't like the direction this site is taking.

Want to explain in more detail?...

 

Forums

• Fewer interesting topics and threads/posts that are well thought out. Lots of redundant threads.
• Too many people stick to PR talking points and don't want to critically look at issues. 
• Blatant trolls and fanboys that do nothing but stir the pot to rile people up.
• Duplicate threads. Any large news story is bound to have 3-5+ threads, some which take forever to get locked.
• Too many Rol impersonators. 
• People don't want to actually discuss games and gameplay. Not just gameplay, but genre conventions, trends, and honest discussion about game problems. It's annoying when people declare some highly rated game as perfection and want it to end there. 

Site

• Becoming more and more of a generic, dime a dozen gaming site. I know VGC isn't just a numbers site anymore, but I would say the numbers provided here have taken the back burner to other areas such as reviews and news. There's nothing inherently wrong with reviews and news, but EVERY gaming site does those, but no virtually no other site provide sales numbers. I wish VGC would bring the numbers side to the forefront again, making a particular effort to improve site perception and tracking accuracy.
• Very little interesting original content. Maybe I'm the only one tired of top 10 lists.

Based on this list you might think I hate this site. That's really not the case. It's just not what it once was, though that may be partially a matter of my tastes changing.
