I joined this forum in 2012 when I was working overseas. I was thousands of miles away from home and surrounded by people who didn't understand or appreciate my love for video games. I stumbled upon this site, and, after a few weeks of lurking, I worked up the courage to create an account.

Why did I stay? Despite some truly ugly console wars, this forum is a sanctuary of sorts for me. I can express myself freely, I can communicate with like-minded peers, and everyday I learn something new. The majority of gaming forums are, to quote Ben Kenobi, "wretched hive[s] of scum and villainy," but VGChartz, in general, is full of well-meaning, respectful, passionate fans bursting with news, opinions, and advice about video games.

I wouldn't trade VGChartz for any other community or video game forum.
