It's virtually impossible to turn around. A few spammers easily outnumber the posts of normal posters. You have people like Nintendopie who posts over 40 times a day, while plenty of people who visit the site frequently, and make well-thought-out posts only post once or twice a day. In order for the forum to be filled mostly with posts from people who think a lot before posting, they have to outnumber the "spammers" 10 to 1. They don't at the moment, and it'll be very hard to turn around.

At once the spammers outnumber the thinkers, you're essentially chanceless to turn it around. It's a shame, because it has happened - or is happening - to nearly all my favourite forums, and none are managing to turn it around, despite trying far harder than VGChartz is.

Have you even read some of my posts? I'm not trying to say I'm "High-and-Mighty" but I make some good posts. I don't enjoy people like you who automatically think that since I have 41 Posts a Day that I can't form opinions nor make good posts. It's rude. 

your whole presence in this thread is soembody for whatever the reason is on the defense. I have not called any names and if I had blame somebody it would be the mods..people will only do what they are allowed to do.

Xxain , if you dislike the community here, you really need to go on Kotaku, you will find people with the same taste as you there, I am always there myself, and love it. this site has pretty much became my rant backdrop these days, i just write for the sake of writing.

No offense to anyone..



Let's face it...those who complain do jack shit to improve this site. I'm going to be frank here but as Aj said above, these 'old' members coming in and whining is just tiresome. Don't like things? Do your own work. Do something to contribute? What was the last great discussion thread you made?

I don't know about the others but I will say this, The official vita thread is the ONLY place on this site where you can actually share and discuss the news without trolls. People like it. We had quite a few who joined this site just for that. Don't like it? Don't use it. Plenty of others find it a great place and we have a nice lil community going in there

For All News/Info related to the PlayStation Vita, Come and join us in the Official PSV Thread!

What this place lacks is Microsoft fans...The departure of Seece & Machina destroyed like 50% of the microsoft community. I wonder if there is a forum where I can go to cherrypick microsoft folks....

Oh, and M.U.G.E.N, you are doing a great job with the vita thread!

Thanks for the advice PP but i went to Kotaku on home computer and got virus

Thats beside the point. Its not finding a site towards my own taste.

Its this this:

going to gaming forum - seeing everything but game discussion

going into nintendo - the shitter of site... NOTHING but doomed

going into Sony - nothing doom, graphics, suck my dick while I talk about the cell please

go MS - every thread in there , last post 7 hours ago

 

 

Where is the actual games talk... why has it beeen replaced with threads in OP? thas is the poin of this thread.

Woah Kotaku gave you a virus? O_o; , its a Blog about games xD , anyways well lets wait till E3, since there is barely anything to talk about, and sadly when E3 comes people were going to get childish and be "THIS COMPANIES E3 IS BETTER THAN YOURS!" and crap like that, gosh, gamers are so fucking immature some times.

edit : i forgot to add that i love Kotaku because they always tend to get the news faster than the rest, and their opinion is largely always positive because its a blog and not a "site" per say, so the writer of said article is probably already a fan.



I have to admit that the lack of creativity in many threads is disturbing.

The site also needs to bring back all of the sales data since many of the great threads were created because of it.

Also, I like when Xxain starts words with xx. I think that it's cool and shows that he actually has a personality.

on a good note no one has actually disagreed with anything I said. So that's good at least.

Either you are being sarcastic or haven't read most people's posts. Because I don't know what to think.



nah, everyone's saying accept it. No one's denying what he's saying.

What?

Anyway, so far most people have. Even if they didn't state "I disagree with you."


Do you just live in your own little world, and not think at all before you post things? That might seem rude, but honestly, you accuse someone of not reading the posts, and then you say that? 

Let's have a look at the posters so far.

Maverick - Agreed with XXain
Choko - Mostly agreed with XXain
Tadpole - Relatively neutral, agreed with some, disagreed with other parts
Lostplanet - Agreed with XXain
Oldschool - Disagreed with XXain
Nintendopie - Well, obviously you're discluded from this
Dieapple - Just leave if you don't like it. Doesn't say anything about whether he agrees with the OP
Jay - From his last post, I'd assume he doesn't disagree with Xxain
manbearpig - Partially agrees
Kylie - Agrees with XXain
Bhr-3 - Agrees with XXain
Spurge - I have no idea what he's on about
Andres - Probably disagrees with Xxain
(And then you can probably add me agreeing with XXain too).

All in all, how on earth is that most people disagreeing with XXain?

For the record its impossible to disagree ith the op.  So by default your wrong. "These re saying we dont care" or " It doesnt bug me"

not that something in OP is false.

 

Im annoyed that these people would rather argue with me about how they feel about it.. rather love it or hate a string of copy cat threads is spam no way around.

First of all, your title suggests that everything you're complaining about in the OP is of no quality.  I even agree with some of what you say, but that's still subjective, so saying it's impossible to disagree with the OP (or more specifically, your opinion) is false.

Second, threads that stay in rotation in the Hot Topics are obviously receiving posts, which means there are obviously many who feel they're worth participating in.  Again, there are many I completely agree with you on; I've made four elimination threads in my time here and I'm the first to admit they can go overboard... particularly when they are designed to last too long.

Finally, you completely contradict yourself in the OP as well:  First, you point out that there is already an official Nintendo thread, so it's redundant to have WiiU and 3DS threads, then in the very next paragraph you complain that the Nintendo thread is overloaded with posts and is a chore to navigate through.  Which is it!?  If all you want is breaking news 100% of the time, that's going to make for a very uneventful thread, particularly regarding Nintendo, who is very secretive.  Personally, I think Spurge does a very good job keeping the Nintendo thread interesting for Nintendo fans.  I mean, isn't that the point?

I wholeheartedly agree that there are some threads that just serve no purpose and offer no entertainment whatsoever:  things like "What did you eat for lunch" or threads that are in very poor taste, for example, but these types of threads usually go by the wayside fairly quickly.  In short, I don't think your thread is bad at all, I just think your sentiment is too extreme.  You seem to want to relegate everything on the site to news or sales, but this is a community forum for a reason.  People learn new things, make new friends, etc when a variety of content and topics are introduced, IMO.

Im going to lunch right now put i will leave a solution

The solution revolves around better defining each forum:

Gaming forum - To be the place to dicuss multi-plat gaming/ news

Nintendo - The forum to dicuss nintendo gaming/news/products

the is where the 1st change happens

Sony will be changed to the Playstation forums - gaming/news/hardware(PS hardware not TV'sext company)  will be discussed

MS becomes the XBOX forums - gaming/news/harware(no windows 7, lawsuits  companyext)

PC- game/new/hardware

eliminate: MM0,Online,game specific, dont need them. They can go elseware( exm..sony exclusive MMO can go in SONY forums)

 

All salestalk ( SW&HW) will now be transfered over to the SALES FORUMS ...NOT GAMING FORUMS

create a section in Off Topic called forums games - All froums games go there( elimantion, top/best/favorite)

 

thoughts?



I liked the Piplup trend! We were just goofing around for fun. I doubt anyone did it for attention (That doesn't even make sense to me)
