The future of VG Chartz, what does the site mean to you?

[SamuelRSmith]

How about making the site more 'flash'.

I mean, like using 'web 2.0' features, so that on the main page when another user logs in, that 'users' section along the bottom of the page could automatically update. Doing the same thing with the threads and news updates would also be cool.

Instead of having the three seperate top 5 boxes on the front page; have one. With the user being able to flick through them with handy little arrows. When the user clicks on a title, the rest of the information moves out of the way for more information on the selected title. A sales graph, and a link to the games database entry.

Get some kind of cross-advertsing contract going on with GameRankings or MetaCritic, to show the average press score. This could make the fanboy-infected scores seem like credible (which they are), so you could then alter the rating system so that users have to earn the right to rate games. This could be done using some kind of levelling system and/or rep system for the users. (Say level 5, or + 50 rep from other users). Also, changing the system so that the user has to either click '+' or '-' instead of selecting a score would also level out the system much more.

Of course, these are just suggestions. And i only suggest that you look into these if you have the time or the patience. However, these things would just be several cherries on an already bootilicious belgium bun.
