What forums?


Im not willing to share that information, we at Carl2291 Corp dont comment on rumor or speculation.

Also, it was supposed to be 5000 posts and not 50000 posts.

I'm so sick of (insert disliked company) fans, always attacking us reasonable and mature (insert preferred company) fans!

Honestly though, it's not like this website is designed to attract fans of one company and repel fans of another. How VGC is now is pretty much a true reflection of how much support the big three are getting from hardcore gamers. I can't think of a website that is better than VGC, if anybody else can then they're free to leave. The mods are very strict anyway and are clamping down on bad behaviour that drags reasonable discussions down into shit flinging contests.

Reddit is easily the friendliest, especially on the smaller subreddits. But the big subreddit threads are just bloated with basically the same comments over and over and over and annoying reddit shit like pun threads. The point system is both good (more effort put into posts, practically no hostility) and bad (karma whoring, fakeness, unpopular but not necessarily invalid opinions may not get seen). Check out /r/games and /r/*insert console here*.

As we have had many users leave (Including very active) in the last month to the embarrassing behavior of VGC I am curious on the users who are tired of VGC and hopes for a better community?  

Quick question. What community is better/more civilized than ours?



Around the Network

I actually got bored of the site the moment the numbers got behind a paywall and some of my best friends on the site retired but I still visit it sometimes but not anywhere near close to how I was in 2008-9

Edit: Also when ioi stopped coming to hang up with us and is nowhere to see now

;) I will never tell

Little surprised to see this thread revived though.

I am too. 

Why'd you bump this thread, Mysticwolf? There are many others.

Naw, he's  tired of VGC cause he got called out several times for his biasness ;o

OT: Not me.





Who cares if he prefers one console over the other?
this idea that someone is instantly an "enemy" and deserves to be "called out" over his personal preference is frankly childish and is nothing more than an example of everything that's going wrong with the general gaming culture.




No one cares, really.
But jay acts like he doesn't prefer any console over the other. But his threads and posts tell a different story.
Some people hate people who has a fake persona. That's why he gets "called out" a lot. Not saying jay has a fake persona, though.




People do care though apparently.
at the moment this site is literally 95% pro Sony and anyone who prefers anything else is instantly ganged up on.
ive been here since 07 when you count my first year lurking and it has never been this bad.




Are you kidding me??
Its not just sony fans, most of the members(yes that includes sony,micro,nin fans) on this site hate the new xbox and there is a reason why.




I never mentioned anything about loving / hating X1. It's a free market. Buy whatever you want. Enjoy whatever you want.
I'm addressing the overall horrendous state of current debate on the site. Don't like the X1? Perfectly understandable. In fact I'm buying a PS4 literally just to throw Sony support for their pro consumer actions.
but ganging up and throwing out accusations and downplaying isn't wise discussion. It's little more than a shouting match between children on a playground.

why not just admit they are you choice wthout giving reasons why. i dont see how one company charging for online is consumer friendly and the other charging for online is anti consumer is in any way valid. if you were really for consumer rights you'd buy a wii u as its BC, online free etc
You are just trying to defend your choice but if consumer rights really were the issue you wouldnt back Sony either.

if someone said im backing MS because the online is free. you wouldnt think that odd at all to prefer one over the other for a reason that applies to both



I didn't bump it, it was like the seventh thread on this board. I wouldn't consider that bumping. Way I see it anything on the first page is usually fair game.
