Probably try to join the vgchartz discord or something.

It'll be a sad day for sure.

I'm still hopeful for the site and it's future but yeah...

I was unaware that there was a vgchartz discord lol

I think there is an Xbox Empire one... Not too sure about a vgc one as a whole. 

Na, I think my forum days are going to be over if vgchartz goes.

Life is just too busy. So it's good that I haven't been here much lately but it'll be a bitter-sweet moment when the day comes.

The views on the articles seem to be quite healthy, the forum not so much. It's like people are coming here for news, just not engaging with the forum.

I belong to some retro gaming sites. Just post more there. I was unaware this place is a case of the owner abandoning it. Been down that road many times. Never goes well.

This is the only gaming forum I have ever visited with any regularity. I started coming here maybe seven or eight years ago, and started participating six or seven years ago. My life has become much more full since then, so I doubt that I would get started on another forum if this one disappeared.

I think the best case scenario would be for somebody that loves this place to buy it. Price would have to be extremely small in order for that to make sense, cuz I'm sure there's no way to make a profit here, at least without a major change to the character of this site. Otherwise, yeah, it's just going to go away one day. Hopefully we'll get a little bit of warning before that day comes. But I don't think that's a sure thing. It wouldn't surprise me at all for the site to simply go offline with no warning and never come back.

I'd consider buying it myself if I had any sort of relevant technical knowledge at all. But, I don't.  I would be able to do nothing with this site. That means I'd have to trust people that I've never met with the whole operation. And, that's not something I would be comfortable doing. Also, the price would have to be next to nothing in order for it to make sense. 

For video game sales there's Install Base but for general forums there really isn't anything. I expect this will be the last decade before this place truly dies but when it does forums in general will probably be truly dead with maybe the exception of crazy places like resetera so that'll be it for forums for me.

I noticed ioi was last online just a month ago. What kind of involvement does he have in the site anymore?

I'll probably retire from video game message boards.
