4) I HATE those video ads with audio! They suck major balls! I don't wanna hear that shit!


That's what adbock plus is for

Search it up on google. You have to get a specific one for your internet browser and then download it. I've got it and it workd great!

well lets be honest here
-the forums themselves are annoying, not enough posts per page, almost every thread goes to 10 pages or more.
-silly forum games that go on for 200 pages instead of clear concise polls
-over zealous mods that ban anyone who speaks out against nintendo or sony making any meaningful discussion impossible
- lets be honest here, 90% of the people on this website are raging nintenfanboys, a poll i saw put lie 80% at preferring the wii/DS over ps3/pc/360, so people like me who don't care about console just good games or care about other console and not motion controls go somewhere else.

There is an option for that.

I have been here looking since 2007. Although i didn`t post i did read threads here and there and remember how people really look to have fun here. There really were some users who stood out back then and honestly, people had fun because they had conversations, casual or more in depth, people talked like they talked to their friends.
Nowdays people don`t have conversations, they have scientifical debates over everything. In more ways than one, this forum has lost that empathy and honestly that`s a shame.


It also got to a point, like another user said in this thread where new users were not exactly welcomed.

They were not activley targeted and discouraged to post but the general attitude by a lot of older members was....this is our site, we are a tightly knit circle of friends!

At that point I started to lose interest and did post on that subject, which I'm sure is still there if someone can be bothered to look.

Whether the site is still like this I don't know as I don't interact that much, but in any case it is a shame because the site 'was' something really different.

 

To be honest i never noticed that.
Sad that you had to witness that, it never feels good. It kinda reminds me of where i used to work where some of the oldest people there were a bit like that - that the new guy is too new to say anything or he/she is trying to stand out, etc.

I`m posting more now and so far i haven`t noticed that. Either i`m lucky or it seems that attitude is gone.

1.) You can increase the amount of posts per page

2.) Using polls would be bad because most of the gaming threads have rules that prohibit some users from posting. Using the Poll would make this impossible. Besides the gaming threads have been kept to a limit by the mods and you don't have to enter them if you don't want to.

3.) Not true. Your perspective is probably blurred. Would you like to present proof?

4.) So many things wrong with this one. Firstly, using one poll from one thread to describe the entire site is illogical. Secondly, if 80% of the poll participants were Nintendo fans, then where do you get the 90% figure from? Thirdly, Even if that poll was of a similar proportion to the VGC community (which it isn't), why do you identify those Nintendo fans as 'raging Nintenfanboys'. Why can't they just be Nintendo fan? Your name-calling exposes your immaturity even more. Fourthly, please show me a link to to a poll where Nintendo got 80% of the votes. Otherwise, I'm gonna call bullshit on this one.

1. Can you really do that with many people? There is a particular user who just won't listen to anyone currently, and his bans and moderations are becoming more frequent.

2. Please, stop it.

I am not kidding myself, the trolling the 3DS got was huge, I still remember the "lolol 3DS outsells Wii in Japan!" by you in every Media Create thread back in 2011. Just because you like the Vita better, it doesn't mean the trolling rate is bigger. And I remember a lot of hype for the Vita, and a lot of doomed threads for the 3DS.

I am not saying the 3DS gets more hate, but that it does get hate, and a lot, and you fail to see that. Both consoles get smashed. WiiU will get trolled, PS4 will, 720 will. And you will have to accept the fact Sony fans have flaws too. As do Nintendo fans.

3. As a suggestion, please use CAPS properly, because the way you post does make you look like you're raging.

Edit: Also, about the German thread, everyone can have their own opinion, and while it is unfair if people complain about Vita getting the award, it's not bad if people say they disagree or if they do not like the Vita's design.

a lot of hype for the vita? Trust me when I say I followed the system way way closer than you and no. The sony forums were plagued with trolling by ninty fans. Again by all means feel free to look up threads from the post 3ds E3 and Vita reveal days.

that thread was about vita, and an achievement it got. But then it was filled with butthurt comments and dragging other consoles into the picture. Was not needed. it's like me coming into a 3ds award thread and pointing out how flawed the design is and how deserving other systems are over it. I do not care for such things. good news for 3ds? Knock yourself out and enjoy it

anywho I'm done here I said my piece, I had enough arguments with overly defensive ninty fans on this site. Before pointing the finger at others, I suggest you do the same to yourself. Sony forums have almost NO vita related thread without snide and troll comments from nintendo fans of this site. I can find plenty for 3ds without sony fans not caring at all or being supportive. I'm not saying sony fans or ms fans are perfect. But the nintendo fans, especially some news ones, have taken trolling to a new level and people are leaving the sony sections cuz of it. Anywho I'm done and I am thinking I shouldn't have even bothered posting in this thread now.

Okay, that is enough, you are doing it again.

I am not saying that there is no trolling from the Nintendo fans, there is, and a lot. I can't stand a lot of Nintendo guys, they put the Nintendo fanbase to shame.

However, any other side is just as bad, there was a lot of doom, trolling, jokes and more when the 3DS was doing badly, not to mention the classic kiddy/casual comments.

If you only want to be in a forum where only good things are spoken about your favorite handheld, it's such a shame, because it's not like if it wasn't hard to stand the 3DS or Wii trolling before. Please, just stop looking at the things from only one side, I'm not saying that any side is better, I'm saying that both sides are just as bad.

Yeah they really need to go, it's just completely over the top.

I mean, I open up vgchartz homepage, then open up two threads simultaneously , and all of sudden there can be 6 video ads playing over each other.

I mean I either have to come on vgchartz while keeping my laptop on mute, or go into each thread locate the video ads, and pause them all so I can continue to listen to music.

Well, it's not ridiculous to claim one side's hate as being more than another. I'm not saying I agree with either of you but the notion of one side receiving more hate is possible. I'm sure if you tallied up all the hate threads & posts and somehow judged the intensity of the hate, then I'm sure you would have one side receiving more hate than another.

Though I doubt either of you have really done that. You're probably just going off memory and what you've noticed to quantify and gauge hate. But memory can be very innacurate. If you're a fan of company A and don't really care for company B, then you're naturally going to notice hate for company A more and will more likely ignore hate for company B. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it just something you're brain naturally does.

This goes for both of you. You're more likely to miss a few Vita hate threads and take more notice to the 3DS hate threads. The Vita may have receive more hate. Same for MUGEN (except vice-versa). He could have ignored a lot of 3DS hate and the 3DS may have received more hate, or it could be the same like you claimed.


Now, I'm not saying either of you are right. I'm just saying that it's possible for one console to get more hate. But unless you're going to use some objective means to measure 'hate' then you're pretty much debating about nothing, because memory can be very subjective whether you know it or not.

You're discouraged from using an adblock while visiting vgchartz. Probably because the site will see less revenue as a result.

Regardless, I don't want to have to download anything to visit this site, it was fine only a few months back.



 

Well I have seen a lot of new accounts recently.
There has been a lot of trolling going on in these forums. Overall the quality of posts has gone down with new users trolling and making alts all the time.

As BenV said, tracking has been off lately as well. The numbers just aren't very trust worthy at all.
