The Zhuge ban was simply hilarius.

They banned him for about 2 months withouth a reason, then he asked why they banned him, and then they changed the ban in a permaban.

While i prefer GAF by a lot conpared to VGC ( i have my reasons ), mods here are way better.

It goes much deeper than that.

ZhugeEX was abused and mocked by the mods. That is not conjecture.

When you start to uncover the truth about the NeoGAF mods...it's like fridge horror...you just unravel layer after layer after layer of arrogance, abuse, favoritism, and megalomania...and it's just fucking creepy.

There's a reason why they are widely hated outside of their little bubble.

I have personally seen at least 5 verifiable examples of abuse.

 Yea I'm well aware of the shenanigans that have been happening behind the scenes. Word has made its way down the grapevine so to speak. 


I'll certainly give this forum a try and see how it goes. My main concern is the time zone difference. With Sales AGE I know I can still be part of a discussion despite my vast difference in waking/working hours. I would be worried that it might not be the case on forums such as this one that are dominated by a US centric population.  Hopefully there are a substantial number of contributors here that are active during my posting windows. We shall see.

I know many of the other Sales AGE regulars know about your presence here and I too hope more of them take a dip into these waters. I'll do what I can to encourage it. 

This forum is slower...because very few people actually know about the studious sales analysis that goes on here.

I have mocked VG Chartz many times on GAF in the distant past....because JPMorgan Chase (where I work) has access to NPD and GfK sell-through numbers around the world and many of VG Chartz's estimates are very off-the-mark (as you can see with this month). But the community and sales analysis are sound and robust...just don't expect GAF levels of reaction and response because of the smaller community. Which quite honestly, is fine. If we were to be analogous to an airport...NeoGAF would be the general seating area, and these forums would be one of those private airport lounges...it's like a little private club in here.

Not to mention, VG Chartz does revise their data to be near the real thing the moment proper sales figures emerge...so many of its historical sales are surprisingly accurate or pretty damn close. Pachter once said that VG Chartz is honestly not that bad....and I agree with him. You can't trust it at all for recent sales...but historical sales? Meh. It's pretty good.
