Why Don't You Like Neogaf? (Or why do you?)

I don't like it's sign up policy. I also don't like the mods, majority seem of a certain bent.

I do like the fact they stay interested in games after they are released. The OTs are great, where as most games on this site are talked about up until release, and then very little discussion will take place afterwards. Especially true for exclusives. I also like the fact they have more retail staff who give store updates, as well as devs and a few insiders who are actually legit.

That's their only big advantage, but honestly most gaming forums (aside from VGC) are like that.

Their other only big advantage is leakers that give them proper original content. Although if you read between the lines, we have a few users who could give us a fair bit of inside info if they were so inclined.

I mean, our Monster Hunter thread has the last four posts of me cursing out various monsters and no actual discussion. I know we've tried to get gaming discussion going, but it never seems to work around here.

On the other side, nowhere else can you have discussions about what makes this industry tick, like VGC.

I would like to know why that is. Whether the community here really isn't interested, or if it is just an issue with the size of the community itself. I think it is a shame that people don't discuss games to a great extent after release.
