I didn't log on or go to this site till a few months before E3. My mental state matured to a greater degree and is able to withstand the temptation of getting too caught up into all the flame baiting that's been going on. You grow thicker skin and learn how to fight your battles. You'll be back..

Why won't you admit you missed me!! seriously sometimes I think our relationship is based on my love for you only...

And I'll be adding you on XBL when I get my X1 on November 22.

I think we may already be Xbox Live friends. Played a few halo reach rounds once!

And thank you, sir!

Dude.. you are hurting our feelings by coming back in the thread.. just go, run with the wind and don't look back at us..

Before you leave, you must pass the Autobot Matrix of Leadership to me, Rodimus Attaboy. Transform and roll out!

Bye, enjoy the real life.

Since you're asking for a permaban instead of just leaving, you're obviously tempted to come back. So I'm wondering: Will you come back in a few months, once the balance of power between Xbox and Playstation is restored (maybe with a new user account), or will you be "cured" from the VGChartz addiction by then and have no desire to come back?

Personally, I seriously hope you will be able to resist. Video games and defending video game brands is for bored, single kids like us. You've got a wife and kids now, it should be much more meaningful to spend time with them.

why dont you just stay?

i dont post on here often anymore just check for news and what people have to say. imo you should just stay

So you're leaving because you don't like all the negative news about the xbone?

PS fans went through even more in 2007-2009 and no one went away because of it.

My advice is for you to do something about what you don't like and set an example instead of running away from it.

Hey you're right! I completely forgot about that

Half the VGChartz users from 2009 are dead now.  Apparent suicide.  Coincidence?

Y is Kowenicki banned, did he request ban in inspiration of Nightsurge?
