It seems like some people here just want to talk about games, but what about business?

This community is fundamentally limited in what it can do, because the tools needed for deep meaningful discussions are simply no longer available on this site. On occasion someone will take the time to gather up the disparate date all on their own, but it is actually a fairly exhausting effort. That can take hours or days, and seeing as someone who will respond probably will not have time themselves to go data diving the discussion goes flat pretty fast.

I can about guarantee you that if we had the tools we had four or five years ago on this site. There would be a hell of a lot more detailed discussions, and frankly I think it does hurt this site that we cannot have those discussions anymore. It brought a lot of attention to the site, and those discussions had a lot of impact outside of this site. At one point in time threads from here were being copy pasted on other forums on other sites, because they were just that insightful.

I honestly don't see why we cannot have them at all. This site is driven by advertising revenue from what I can tell, and those tools would bring a lot more people to the site. So it should be a win/win situation. Rather then a terrible burden on the sites management.
