As far as GameDB work goes.. I used to put 2 hours of work each night in the database back in 2.0, making crazy money. 3.0 made this so complicated and destroyed the games database and functionality. nordlead asked me to become a GameDB from my work that i've put in during the 2.0 days. It's SOOOOO hard to get any type of flow when it comes to adding things to the database. Each edit is a click on a menu.. And it's kind of sad seeing my money always getting lower and lower, because someone else replaced my banner.. hahaha

I suggest that GameDBs should be able to disable adds. Sometimes some adds take a long time to load , blow up taking up the screen if you pass over them or sound starts playing. Let us get down to the nitty gritty with a light version of the website. A simple edit screen that isnt hidden behind a drop down menu ,would be nice. All this java makes it unbearable sometimes just to get to the edit button. Remove the pop ups for GameDBs that say, "Your submission will be looked over by a GameDB admin" or whatever it says when you submit something. 

I disable shockwave just to make my computer load up a little faster

Fix the bug that won't let us delete screenshots

When someone submits a banner for a game. have the old banner pop up in the pop-up window along with tne new banner, so we dont have to take more time to go to the game's page, going through another java  cycle and adds.

Let us add more than one screenshot at a time

What's the Best browser to use for doing GameDB work? It's like some features dont work on others. I have to use a combination of Firefox and Internet Explorer.. Can't add screenshots with internet explorer?

Also, please bring back a proper Games page, not one that shows the games you added recently first then you have to keep pressing the back button to find a game? Really?! I used to love VGChartz for the games page, I wanted a website that would let me make a games collection that I can view with ease. Now I don't even know what games I have. I was about to add some games that i just bought a few months ago and wasnt sure if I added them already. I gave up on adding them, cuz I didn't feel like going through the back buttons and it's a pain searching for each game one by one in gamerReview, then clicking on add to see if i added it already. It would be nice to have a sort by feature (Name, Date added.. blah)

I hear ya, I use to be able to do hundres of submissions in such a short time because everything was so fast simple and easy to submit. Now you have to click through a bunch of stuff just to get one submission. Discouraging to not see all the other DB work not in the points system as well, I know it'll be added later, but how hard would of been to add it when this new VG Chartz came? 

Also I really miss the top 10 richest users, I wanted to make that list so bad, and I was encouraged to stay on the list when I made it.

"Remove the pop ups for GameDBs that say, "Your submission will be looked over by a GameDB admin" or whatever it says when you submit something. "

Agreed, atleast get rid of this for DB Admins it slows things down to much.

"Fix the bug that won't let us delete screenshots"

Yes Please

"When someone submits a banner for a game. have the old banner pop up in the pop-up window along with tne new banner, so we dont have to take more time to go to the game's page, going through another java  cycle and adds."

Already discussed this with ioi, it's on the list of fixes now.

"Let us add more than one screenshot at a time"

Once again, agreed, why change it to make things slower?

...How about for DB Admins we get access the old VG Chartz strickly for DB submissions? :P lol

I loved the Top 10 money makers for the week... How in the hell do we get a top post maker and not have a top money maker? THAT is what made contributing to the database worth it to most people, seeing their names on that list.

I also would LOVE to see the return of the edits list on the games page. So we know who added what to the database for each game. Makes you feel proud for adding something and seeing your name there. Then we can also see who was the person who made the banner that replaced yours and if it was a just call or not. The only person who gets credit on a game's page now. is a person who adds a screenshot. The list should be just for other submission, not screenshots. People want to see their names and it makes it feel like they helped.

I would also love to see the list on each games page of who owns that game come back.

2.0 database was the BEST videogame database on the internet (PERIOD)
