How would you explain VGChartz history?

The site creator had a falling out in GAF in regards to sales information.

He got permanently banned and created this site. Few months later I joined and made it worth staying.

(that fallout is why this site is banned from being mentioned at GAF, even though this site have proven over and over again to be a very good indicator of current sell-through)

The site has gone through 3 or 4 major revisions with most recent really being a push to break off into a couple of other sites focused on a gigantic game info library, a review/news site and this being a core sales site with the best gaming forum on the net. (thanks to me as I pointed out above)

... and now you're here.

Wow, thats quite an interesting thing to learn! I didn't know thats why he created it or that he got banned, thats for sure. Vgchartz is better than Neogaf imo
