@ Okey.

I was there! I was pimping my Virgin thread.

Yep, It was me who started the "get off-topic off the front page"... I'm quite happy to see it gone as there are now numerous threads that are gaming-related that I AM interested in when I log on. For those that love off-topic: Go there. Enjoy. Be Off Topic. Feel Off Topic. No one is stopping you from fulfilling your off-topic destiny.
 Nobody was stopping you from doing the same thing with gaming news when off-topic was on the front page.   

 


couldn't agree more =)

Apparently you and others completely and utterly fail to understand the concept of a content-specific website or better yet, a business' mission statement.  (VGC is a business, after all...)  The idea that I or anyone else should have to hunt down gaming-related threads because of a deluge of off-topic spam filling the front page is asinine.  For the less-than-completely-clueless, this IS a VG specific website and it should be the other way around.

First, read here:

http://www.vgchartz.com/welcome.php

It describes what VGC is/does.   Next, go here and pay note to point number 1:

http://vgchartz.com/forum/rules.php

In the end, it is Ioi's call.  But... I believe that a website about gaming sales, statistics, etc., should stick to that format rather rigidly.  If you want to talk about virginity, anal sex, your bi-curiosity and so on, fine.  Just do it somewhere other than a gaming forum (or at least in an off-topic forum I'm not forced to view every time I log in).   The point you and so many seem to miss is that hot topics (on VGC) should be VG-related if this is a VG-related website.  So telling me that if I want to see gaming-related threads that I should go to those respective forums when the hot-topics page is bloated with off-topic spam is just moronic.  Again, it's Ioi's call as it is his website but IMO, VGC is far better off leaving off-topic exactly where it belongs -- OFF the main page of the site.

If you guys are adamant about getting off-topic back on the main page, go for it.  Post it up and see where it goes as no-one is stopping you...

kn...I confess that I slightly agreed with you in the original thread that you made.

It was a mistake. My apologies to the Off-Topic forum.





It appears to no longer be fashionable to agree with kn.

*sigh*  Trends change so fast like that. 

Oh well.  *disagrees with kn*

Why do you care for others people Post count????
Does it affect you?
