ahem...

Uhh, derp? I'm the most notorious member PERIOD let alone 2011! I assume everyone knows and doesn't want to mention eh?

You should put up your country and basically invest in more posting, I became well known because I used to post very frequently and it built up my repuation. Morenoingrato and Rolstoppable (VGChartz's Laurel and Hardy) consider me "a lost cause though."

You can have my vote

I see fewer and fewer users who contribute to discussions and create interesting threads. At the same time, we seem to have more and more users who post for the sake of posting and CAN'T even be bothered to use decent spelling and punctuation. This is an adult site concerning sales figures, not a sports thread on 4chan. And frankly, while sales should be the central focus, great threads can emerge from any topic. People on this site reminisce about the old days between we used to actually be able to have meaningful discussions about both games and issues. Now, a lot of threads seem downright lazy.

There was also a greater sense of community in 2007, 2008, and 2009 to some respect. And believe it or not, it was accomplished without Facebook-style walls and notifications. We just talked and discussed interests.

Lol.. well it kicked off in 2007.. Don't be mean :(

Holy crap! 06??? - I didn't look at first at first but kopstudent's comment made me look

Daaaaaayum

There are a couple of reasons 2007/8 were the best.

First it was a smaller community, it is naturally going to feel less special to the older users when new people appear (though a few particularly awesome members make themselves known and liked)

Second, back then the focus was on sales and sales related discussion, which is what many of us came to the site for in the first place... there is less of that now that there are reviews and news stories etc, and as some site changes caused some old users to leave there are less of us to discuss with.

why do you refer to yourself in 3rd person?

yass!!! any more takers???
