To brighten your day up. I came back a week ago after a year in Hiatus.

Primarily because of university . Im in my holiday. Its likely im going to leave again for a year again next month.

Welcome back. Your aavatar already brightens the place my day .

Regarding the Nintendo bias here...and the idea that making an Anti-Nintendo thread here gets you a moderation...

Why are you making anti-Nintendo threads in the first place. It's one thing to support your favorite developer, publisher, company, etc...but being negative just to be negative is like picking a fight just to pick a fight. I don't see Nintendo fans making threads talking crap about Sony or Nintendo. I just don't. I think that the moderations are handed out evenly...I just think that some people like to flame on a regular basis.

Are these behaviors more overlooked in other forums? Absolutely....but it's the moderation team here that keeps this play civil and generally respectful.

And yeah...the mobile functionality of this site definitely needs to be addressed. I think the auto-direct to the App Store is borderline illegal and I'm sure many of the ad companies might have a problem with it.

Actually, I think I was indirectly responsible for him leaving...

No, it's making threads like "The Wii U has peaked" and "The Wii U will not make a comeback" which get you hate from Nintendo fans. These are not negative to be negative threads but in such threads there were reasons for the negativity. Please also open your eyes since Sony and especially Microsoft hate threads are made constantly.

People leave, som come back, some don't I was on this site ALL the time 07-09, but only logged in a few times a year 10-13. The new gen has gotten back in console gaming (PC 2nd half of last gen) and I guess that pulled me back on here. I log daily but I am not on hours at a time like I was 07-09...

Yeah, I don't think the mod team is biased either. I was almost banned for making a joke about Halo 5 (granted, it didn't immediately come off as a joke, so it was understandable). I see Nintendo fans get banned just as much as anyone, maybe even more considering there are just more fans of Nintendo here than any other company so obviously that would be the case.

He didn't leave, he's right here.http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/profile/103750/captainyuri/

OT: People come and go for various reasons. Personal reasons, website issues, priority with irl stuff. On the flip side more new users will come to replace the old or some older users may return.

I think it HAD an abnormally large portion of Ninty fans. It seems that most people that have been leaving lately are Ninty fans. Which brings me to this point.

IMHO when ya company of choice starts to do bad (real bad) then its harder to stick around. Especially if you were doing a lot of pom pom pumping when they were doing good. Most would rather just leave than eat crow

Who said that?
