Forums - Website Topics - A new era for VGChartz, let's cheer up and look ahead

Hey friends, it's dawned on me as the days go by that VGChartz has been a place for me to grow, not only as a friend, but as a person.

Of course you all know that at times it's hard for me to control my intense emotions and sensitivity, and that's something that VGChartz has been a big part in helping me get together.

My next big step is to go beyond self-control, and that's actually lightening up. I know it's going to be a huge direction of the site in the next few months and, God willing, years. I want to take the opportunity to throw you guys a challenge.

  • As it becomes fairer game to jab at each other and take jabs and get less offended, I'd like to challenge those who have a tendency to say hurtful things or things that could be offensive and try to say them in a way that will make the other person chuckle instead.
  • I'd also encourage those who are like me to take a deep breath and learn to laugh at each other, and take some hits in the name of good fun and getting along.
  • If someone is feeling offended, let's learn to just let that person be without badgering them.

And most of all, let's not let this:

Turn into this:

This is in hopes of having a happier and more exciting vgchartz for the gen up ahead!!

You know what we need? Some sort of VGChartz conversation about what we play in general. Something like "I like shooters and own x, y, and z, any recommendations?" or "I just got a last gen console for cheap, any fan favorites?" A dedicated thread for that could help the community get used to helping each other and lending support.

Anyone agree?

Good idea. Maybe we could invent a weekly games discussion thread where everyone can post about which games he is currently playing, recommend games etc. This idea is stolen straight from reddit (/r/games if anyone is interested) and I love the weekly thread there^^

Most VGC members don't play games.

Well, to be fair I've been wanting to share my recent joy with Final Fantasy X but I'm so terrified of spoilers that I haven't made a sound.

It would be cool to have a "Post your fun" thread, a bit like a "Post your mind" thread. No matter what game, you're enjoying it, post away.

the game ends at the end of the game. sorry i spoiled it for you, but i couldnt resist! 



this site needs a final fantasy ix appreciation thread :P

that would help things XD



How come Final Fantasy gets so much praise, but Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and The Last Story are hardly mentioned anywhere? ;_;
