Why will gamer connect be redundant? Site redesign? Not that I use it, just curious.

Well I'm not sure on the full details of what is happening to the forum, but there are going to be three seperate websites:
VGchartz.com will be for the weekly charts and sales and such
gamrreview.com will be for the game reviews, and presumably articles too (sales based articles may still be on VGchartz though I guess)
gamewise (I think that's the right name) will house the game database and main forums... which presumably will include all the fancy profile stuff like game collections.
I am unsure if VGChartz will have a smaller sales focussed forum instead/addition to gamewise forums, if it does then we will probably have profiles created there too, though likely just basic profile for avatars and 'about us' or something like that.
While I am a little sceptical about it being a full split this time (ie they are seperate websites entirely, not just seperate sub-domains).. I already have 2 bookmarks for VGC anyway (one for VGC, one for gamrconnect) so it probably won't make too much difference, and it gets rid of the waste like gamrTV and gamrFeed, and gamrreview will be much easier to ignore (I don't bother with any game reviews anymore)
In fact I think if there is a sales focussed forum on VGC it might help bring back some more sales based discussion, and keep all the other game news, console wars and off topic rants seperated on the gamewise forums. Or at least it will if we get back some of the analysis tools we used to have, though I am not holding out much hope on that front
