| Joelcool7 said: I originally came to the site for the chartz and the good writers. The forum was interesting and I liked the intelligent conversations which occurred. I also liked how on the forum people weren't as spiteful and bigoted as on other forums. As a Nintendo fan I wasn't going to get flamed out of town, as a Microsoft fan I wasn't going to get flamed out of town. I could also discuss most of my opinions on Sony maturely without being flamed out of town. Today, the news articles blow. Many of the writers actually hastily attack users in threads and posts acting immaturely and unprofessionally. The users I once I was able to discuss subject maturely with (Sapphi_Snake, Rath) while I do still talk to them a bit are being replaced by anti-religious and prejudice jerk offs. Now of course myself and Sapphi and Rath have been in heated debates, however we never attacked each other directly. We respected each others opinions and usually (90% of the time) responded maturely. So why am I still here, well despite the fact that the off topic board and some of the writing staff are extremely UN-proffesional and prejudice. There are still other good users like Galaki, Dr.Grass, Viper1 and so fourth. Not to mention while two of the writers here have proven to be extremely unprofessional and biased Smeags remains my favorite staff member, proving that most of the staff at VGChartz don't act this way. Also the charts, VGChartz is still the best source for video games sales information. The news articles might blow but their is no other site online where a gamer can follow global sales up to the week. NPD isn't that informative anymore and publishers rarely mention sales figures outside of investor meetings. So that coupled with the fact that I can still talk about games without the fanboys flaming me off the site and a good staff member or two. Plus a few good users. I am still here! |
I come here to read every one of your essays Joel. :p
