This site used to be full of amazing members who posted some pretty well thought out stuff and we had very lively threads that would go on for hundreds of posts with lots of good stuff being contributed.

The website itself has improved dramatically but the userbase has taken a downturn for the worst. Over zealous fans now are overpopulating the site and most of the newbies really haven't contributed much.

Sadly us old school guys are dwindling fast and being replaced by a "new school" that isn't as fun as we used to have.

These are exactly my thoughts.

Many of the awesome users that used to frequent the site often have either left for good or only come around once in a blue moon. And without very many new awesome users showing up this site just doesn't have the fun atmosphere that it used to. Mind you its still one of the better places on the web as far as forums go but it seems to be going in a downward spiral.

I do not really think the fact that you guys like to complain about it helps make the situation better. If anything it encourges less conversation.

Hey I'm not bashing all the newer guys there's been some good new additions like M.U.G.E.N. and stuff its just honestly since 08 the numbers of really good users joining the site has gone down.

And its a fact that threads don't go on for as many posts as they once did and that conversation just isn't at the level it once was.  Don't get me wrong Vgchartz is still my favorite gameing forums and in fact its the only one I currently post in cause I left Gametrailers and all that but its just not quite the same as the good ol days.  But the website itself has improved dramatically.  Its just I miss the days when we were all laughing at Crazzyman's insane predictions, talking loads of Halo 3 goodness with Mendicate Bias, trying to ignore but still laughing with ( and at ) Leo-J's constant Sony defense force and ban's.  Seeing BHR-3 make some epic predictions and such. 

Like I said the website is still great and some of those guys still post a little but its not the same as it once was.

I think it is because people were more excited at begining of the generation as everything was new the winners were unknown and people were very excited about gaming. Now we know the winners and a lot of people might be more bored with gaming. I know I am. I would suspect the kind of people you want will show up again when the consoles (not the portables) bring in the next generation of games.
