So, I was browsing gaf and saw a post that called this site banned chartzs. Why is this? Are they just to good for us? Is that it!

ioi and Evilore had a fight on Gaf because ioi was posting his numbers there, then Evilore banned him and VGChartz.

^Is that right??

Ah, you also visited the ZombiU thread there?

As far as I understand it it is partly because of some feud between ioi and admins from GAF. Also, our numbers generally being a bit unacurrate with some majorly botched numbers (-> those are where the hate focuses on) seem to turn off a lot of GAF members.

I had no idea that VGChartz had rivalries with other websites.

the "supposed" reason is because VGC number are unreliable

but from listening from vet users from both sides it seems to be some beef between ioi and Evilore(still don't know the complete story myself)
