Hmm hard to say, with the oldies leaving I became a top dog pretty quick. As for epic funny threads they are missed. I'm trying to bring comedic threads to VG Chartz but it's hard to get anyone to bite, it get's frustrating. Back in the day that wouldn't of been a problem, people would of played along quite a bit, it's what made it fun to come to the forums.

My only advice for what to change is people need to lighten up, were on the internet let's have fun (not in a pissing everyone off kinda way). As for newbies find your thing to branch out of the newbie zone. Find what will make you branch out and make everything think hey it's X guy, he must be doing his X thing again. That's what i noticed that's lacking, to many of the same people, often spamming and not enough originality.

Also I miss the graphs and all the detailed info we had about all the consoles/handheld. I made a lot of threads based on stuff like that. It's a shame they were takin away.

Oh man, I wouldn't even now where to "branch out"... what the hell? :P But I agree that ppl need to lighten up! It's not until recently I've understood what ppl like Rol is doing (well, at least in some cases)... I think I saw you over att the Wii fad thread, right? I found that quite amusing! But what is a thread of epic propotions to you?!

DMeisterJ caught cheating for example. The OP is missing but basically what happened in the thread was a well known user was found at GAF which at the time was some serious wars going on back and forth. But anyway a well known user from VG Chartz (DMJ) was posting in GAF and saying how he liked it so much, anyway Benga  (at the time a Site Administer) was in GAF looking around and found DMJ in there posting how he likes GAF more. Anyway Benga made a thread about it and people were making fun of him calling him a whore and DMJ was playing along just as much. He also got banned for a few hours and since Benga was a site admin he wrote "site whore" above his avatar on his profile and DMJ made a bunch of alts trying to keep coming back and giving his explanation lol it was great. There are a handful of times I actually bursted out laughing at a thread, and this was one.

Another one is every year ioi was watched the F1 and he would like one guy and I think thesource liked another. Anyway at the time thesource was a site admin and ioi got pissed because his guy lost and anyone who liked the other guy would get a ban by ioi and in the end thesource ended up banning ioi. It happened a couple times both with pretty halarious.

Another time there was a thread and I forget who but maybe ioi banned all the mods on the site for the night for some reason lol

There was some fun with Trashleg and ioi one night when there were arguing (not really seriously) about something and ioi was like I'm the boss you can't ban me, which she ended up doing then he baned her lol something like that funny thread.

Basically when the mods or site admins get involved it makes a thread pretty fun.
