Users without an adblocker wont stay simple as that

@rol regarding point 3.2 i left those due to them being nothing different from the old ssj12, leo-j and hus thread.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I would like to see something like a post ban instead of an account ban.

Edit that would mean you would get banned for posting when saying something percieved as a bannable offence but it would allow you to use the other features

I left for a while because I was personally just really busy and also there wasn't a lot of news I wanted to discuss at the time. None of those are the sites fault but I think once the next consoles are close to coming out you'll see a lot more activity.

There's a plethora of reasons why the site is getting stale and old but I would probably be banned for telling it like it is. I guess that's part of it though. This site is too heavy on the enforcing. I know if I was new and saw what you can and can't say on VGC I wouldn't wanna sign up either. I'd imagine a lot of current users feel the same way which explains the dip. Just my opinion of course.

You wont get the upvote on your profile but i want you to known i liked it!

I've always been a lurker, coming in multiple times a day and now I'll stop by maybe once a week.
There used to be some really good users posting interesting threads. One by one they got banned and the regulars that stepped up to replace them weren't able to make the same fun posts. It's too much fear of offending anyone and everyone being to easy to offend.

Well I hate to tell you but this is not 2010 this is not PlayStation 3 this is not the Xbox 360 Wars and from what I can tell it was a foregone conclusion about PlayStation 4 so there's nothing to debate I guess you could say.

I started turning away in 2013 I believe but I date back to 2008, really this gen there's nothing to talk about, it was done after the PlayStation 4 announcement I guess you can say everybody knew what was coming.

In short there's no console war, and there never will be again, I think that's part of the issue, I'm sure all the old heads just come here to check the numbers aside from trollstoppable (Rolstoppable), also known is the greatest troll to ever live, and no one made threads better than him.

There's no controversy I guess in a sense there isn't any big news aside from in my opinion Dreams the PlayStation 4 exclusive, and of course all the info on the PlayStation 5.

Whatever you guys come up with it'll be interesting but I'll never be that active again.

Wouldn't be surprised if those intrusive video ads have something to do with it. I understand you need revenue, but damn.

On topic:

There are a few important things to note.

1. IIRC, the notable decline started around August 2017 according to Alexa.com traffic numbers for VGC.

That was the month onionberry left the site after trolling many of our members with the "win a lapdance from onionberry" contest. S'probably why the decline began then.

I like to say i did got banned for critism on the site back in the day, not for my blunt approach towards the mods aka ssj12, naz, fishyjoe etc
Back then I didnt need to think about not saying things outside of websitecritism or think is this ok to post.
Hell in my previous post i didnt dare to bring up the fact of calling someone not on this site an idiot or call the current government a circlejerk or greenpeace a bunch of hypocrites

You walk into trouble, Kirby. 

I do like you, though, so it doesn't come easy to see you in shackles!

Just make Talon fix that post ban idea and im all in for some good old proper banter
