JUst thought  it would be nice to ask the devs of this siite about the future.

I have been using Windows 8 now consistantly for about 2 weeks. Obviouly Flash domintaes the currently, however it does not run at all on Windows 8. In fact Windows 8 will refuse to install it on Metro UI.

Many sites are now changing to HTML5 including YOutube moving away from flash as of September this year. Due to the fact that Windows 8 will dominate sales Youtube doesnt really have a choice anyway. Also the fact that even on a dual core 4gb laptop Windows 8 using HTML5 is so so fast, the fastest OS Ive ever used and thats in its cnsumer preview state. IE10 is also incredible. Especcially with sites adopting HTML5 early.

VGC seems to be a site which is completely off concerning Windows 8 and IE10. Its okish in desktop mode on Windows 8, but the site is really laggy and poorly optimized in Metro UI Windows 8. Which to be honest is where I want to spend most of my time on my laptop. And september is not that far away.

Is there plans to optimize for windows 8 and Metro? Considering 94% of the market will adopt Windows 8 as all Windows versions are?

1- I agree that this site has always been a bit slow, and that it would be nice to see it adopt html5 and forget about Flash.

2-Asking for this change because of Win8 is ridiculous. From what I've read about it (so you are better informed than me as you are using it), I'll stick with Win7 for a long time, and a lot of people will do the same. Win8 has been build with touch-screens in mind and the new Metro interface isn't suited for mouse+keyboard and the removal of the Start button puts a lot of us off.

Also, 94%? Where did you get that from? The highly praised Win7 only has 35%, so the new one won't have a chance in hell of reaching even the 50%.

Even if Win8 may not be completely adopted for some time, the share of platforms using Flash will go down over time (even Adobe has given up on Flash for mobile platforms) and VGChartz is already slow due to Flash ads.

They should start thinking about replacing it soon before they are forced to in a rush, in a few years.

I have no Flash on my MacBook and everything works perfect on this website and others. (I use HTML5.) What are you having problems viewing?

Its familiarity.

Nothing is lost. At all. Once you realise this andget used to whats new, you quickly realise Win 8 is not only smarter than 7, its way Faster on the same hardware and its multitasking is unbelieveable.

I use mouse and keyboard wih 8 right now, an there is not a chance in hell 7 was quicker. No way. With touch it woul be faster aggain, but Win 8 is so muc more impressive in sped and functionality its quite funny to here some of the complaints. they are not founded compaints.

Its just familiarity

LOL. 94% was just an exaggeration. Windows in total has about a 94% marketshare. :)

I am usin Consumer Preview. Givin feedback al the time to Microsoft.

Biggest point Im making to Microsoft is educate devlopers away fro shoddy IOS apps.

Those who own a windows Phone will know what I mean.Its so obvious when a dev just ports an IOS app directly over. Against an app redesigned for Metro it looks terrible and has less features.

I am encouraging Microsoft to get developers to utilize Metro properly, cross app interaction and fluid multitasking. Metro is way ahead in loads of features and multitasking. Develpers need to get out o IOS habbits. As it holds some programs back as it did in WP7's first 6 months. 

The issues with VGC on the desktop IE10 are:

Slow draw/fill of content on the Web site, primarily in the threads.
Work around: enable Compatibility View
This is also an issue with IE9.

Cannot properly quote and comment, there is no ability to comment.
Work around: enable Compatibility View
This is also an issue with IE9.

Cannot properly reply by hitting the Reply button, an error message occurs when hitting Submit.
Work around: enable Compatibility View
This is also an issue with IE9.

If Compatibility View is enabled, the second comment is hidden by ads that wraps regardless of screen width.
World around: disable Compatibility View
This is also an issue with IE9.

If Compatibility View is enabled, the Reply, Quote, Report, and View Post buttons are full-width of the thread section of the site. A work around isn't logical in this instance, because if you disable compatibility view, then the Reply and Quote button functions do not operate properly.
This is also an issue with IE9.

this site runs like shit on my iphone.

true story or poor sheep?!

doable yes but way too buggy

safari just crashed
