My input... (I likely won't be here long even if I'm not banned because of this post, the Wii fanboy aspect of the site is getting to be too much, it wouldn't be bad if the site was balanced but it's not.)

1. That this site is a wii fanboy paradise. Seriously why not change the site's name to wiichartz.com? People like Kwaad are basically your whipping boys, I can point out half a dozen other users that post flame bait on here that haven't ever been banned and strangely enough they're *all* Nintendo fanboys. The only ones that get banned are Xbox and Sony ones. Seriously name me *one* person that was banned because they were a Wii troll or posted flamebait against the Xbox 360 and/or PS3.

2. News? Seriously just make some deals with some Wii fansites and put rss feeds to their news on your page if you want to continue running things the way they are now and never grow the site. If you're serious though and want to make a decent news section, why not contact *all* the gaming sites, ign, gamespot, etc, and make deals to use rss feeds. They get the clicks and interest generated from those feeds and you get a real news section with very little effort involved in upkeep. Keep the fanboy news postings from members of this site to a minimum (eg. "The Aliens are buying Xbox 360 games"), crap that like hauls this site down.

Also controversial things like counting a Wii pack-in game hauls down the site as well. It gives the appearance of the site being Wii biased needlessly and messes with the rest of the numbers on the site for the share of game sales by console, attachment rates, etc.

1. Yes, there's lots of Wii fans here, but I haven't see anything close to the annoyance of Kwaad or Hus, save for maybe a couple Wii fans, but they haven't done anything ban-worthy yet, and they don't post as frequently either.

2. not a bad idea.

And there's a few threads that discuss the Wii Sports pack-in game...it's not that controversial...in America, you're paying for the game in the system bundle, you're getting the actual Wii Sports disc. The only thing possibly controversial is the fact that you have to buy the game, and maybe some people don't play it...but either way, you ARE buying the game when you buy the Wii.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

"What don't you like about VG Chartz? " The complete lack of full frontal nudity. Nothing really. I generally ignore posts/threads that are stupid and I have really liked all of the changes that are slowly rolling through.

I have to agree with Legend11. This site is way Wii biased. I have seriously enjoyed the posts of Kwaad (Hus was bannable for sure). It seems like if anyone talks bad about the Wii they are met with harsh criticism, name calling and at times a ban.

Noone HAS ever or WILL ever be banned simply for not liking the Wii.

The Moderator team here, is NOT BIASED toward the Wii, 360 or PS3, and will ban posted for their ACTIONS and not their IDEAS

I'm not really sure if the weekly NA charts is a good idea since they're 99% guesses that will need adjusting anyway when the NPD report is released. And please bring back the "compare games" and "compare consoles" features for the NA data.

There's a lot of Wii fans here (there's a lot of Wii owners everywhere these days, heh) but the mod team seems to be pretty neutral so far.



BenKenobi88 on 30 April 2007

Right...there's just a lot of Wii fans all over the internet...you can't blame the users for liking it. More fans of the 360 and PS3 would be good for debates, though. I'm sorry you feel that way theshoe23, but we try our best not to be biased, and of course nobody gets banned for their console preference. The very few people that have been banned so far have been banned because they constantly created flame wars, belittled and ignored others, and were just a general nuisance to the forums. Perhaps you don't realize there are other PS3 and 360 fans in the forums because they just fit in like everyone else, which is how it should be.

like some others said: the apparent Wii bias that this site has. It may not be true, but that is the feeling I get from this site. there is negative news posted about the PS3 and 360 all the time and everyone just agrees, but when negative Wii news is presented everyone goes into an uproar. Seriously, just give me a break. I recommend visting PSU forums and seeing how they do things. they make sure that people are kept in line and that there isn't rampant PS3 fanboyism. here the only people that get banned are Sony lovers such as Hus and Kwaad. I've seen plenty of comments like "Sony sucks" and "Sony=crap" but no one does a thing, and that makes me quite angry.



BenKenobi88 on 30 April 2007

People have a right to say Sony sucks...somebody has the name Wiisucks and he's not getting banned for that.

What don't you like about VG Chartz? Nothing, really. But I need some section to share my wii number to other members easier. Just a suggestion though. Need more wii friend before SSB Brawl come out (I got you, superchunk!)
