People actually write hatemail about gaming sites? That's kind of sad.
So you guys are breaking up the forums into completely different sites? ouch... maybe.
I wondered why the dropdown menu for my profile had shifted to the left.... shows how little I used gamrFeed.

Yeah all the articles are still viewable of course, and accessible from the "articles" tab on the VGChartz homepage.... there just isn't a direct link in the top menu bar.

Main page, GamrReview to get to the database and gamrConnect is all I use. Actually I use gamrTV as well, but no more than once or twice a day. |
Currently I spend 90% of my VGC time in gamrConnect (naturally, given that this is the forums) then maybe 9% in VGChartz, most of that checking weekly charts, the rest in the Chartz side of the game database (which has the best bits of the game sales info). The final 1% is still with the gamrReview side of the game database, partly because i'm still used to using it through there and partly because the screenshots are only available there.
I used to use gamrFeed, more so in the period in 2010 and 2011 when I didn't come to the forums as much (ie to get the more important bits of news). I could probably count the number of times I have been on gamrTV on my fingers and toes, which is a shame because I think it is the sleekest looking bit of the site... but whenever I have been there I get pissed at the adverts and end up searching for the same video on youtube instead (on which I can block the adverts).

In this case, "y'all" refers to three people though.
Will gamrReview have anything user driven? Or is it "just" a site for staff produced content?
I will certainly give the new sites a chance but this is a major bummer. Feed was my personal favorite. I would visit Feed twice a day, and only visit the other pages when Feed forwarded me. I like the perspective offered by VG news articles, even though it wasn't a major focus of the site, and I hope the new system will evolve a bookmark-friendly, 1-page summary of news, reviews, and sales figures that I eagerly await for throughout the day.
If Feed was considered bloated (and it was), try a replacement page that is text heavy and picture lite.
People actually liked gamrfeed? Wow. Anyway considering I contributed to it somewhat I feel a tad sentimental about the loss of gamrfeed, but hey that's progress.

Gamrfeed sucked, but when something sucks, you need to improve on it, not throw it away. I see lots of articles have been deleted permantly. A loss, but I can understand. This site's visiting numbers have been declining rapidly the last years.
