VGChartz taught me how to think

[Mummelmann]

I'm not sure it taught me how to think, but it sure taught me a lot about discussions and argumentation. I've seen, and taken part in, some amazing discussions in here since I joined over 16 years ago. I came here originally from having grown tired of the boards on Gamespot, IGN, and other sites, so much toxicity and such little good conversation to be had. We've had some periods with more chaos in here as well, but it was never as infected as most other places, which is why I'm still around after all these years. The moderator team and the moderation rulings themselves are also a huge factor, we don't really ban topics, and the mods are generally good at not choosing sides (I was even a mod myself for a while, many years ago).
