What about an Android App, since Android is taking over the mobile world.

Yes we'll have an Android app as well at some point...

Hopefully sooner than later, but thats awesome news either way.

Or they could just look at their site analytics and get the actual use numbers instead of a self-selecting sample. I'd be surprised if VGC didn't log browser/OS type.

Indeed, last month for gamrConnect

Smartphones:

1.	iPhone	18,764
2.	Android	15,404
3.	iPod	10,663
4.	iPad	6,049
5.	BlackBerry	844

And for comparison to general users:

1.	Firefox	222,834
2.	Chrome	144,691
3.	Internet Explorer	101,769
4.	Safari	74,585
5.	Opera	17,158
6.	Playstation 3	9,158
7.	Opera Mini	3,737
8.	Mozilla Compatible Agent	2,051
9.	IE with Chrome Frame	467
10.	RockMelt	437

Hooray, infoporn!

So mobile represents a little over 8% of VGC traffic, even though the site is really pretty terrible on a mobile browser. That may not sound like much, but it's proportionately high when compared to these numbers suggesting mobile represents less than 5% of worldwide traffic:

Here's hoping that GamrConnect 2.0 gives mobile traffic on this site a big shot in the arm.

What about when you are on Android and set your browser to be viewed as a "desktop" browser. While site still doesn't work, does it mess with these counts?

No IM chat?

There were and are times on this website when the forums are pretty slow, so the IM chat was a godsend to harass some people.

yeah i liked to work on my perdition league stuff during those times sadly thats been gone since last year aswell

i feel the PL was the one of the last areas where you could find sales related competition on this site it was like a endanger species

It's going to be tough for us to find bad things to say about the new gamrConnect but I have faith in the VGChartz community! If anybody can find something to complain about, we can!!

We can complain about the lack of TalonMan.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
