So, where is everybody wanting to go after vgchartz?

I'm pretty much done with gaming forums, I got invited to a few but I declined my invite to them since I dont see any point in investing time in any of them.

I'm just sticking with here as long as I can, ResetERA (until it implodes) and just be on my socials and Discord.

For gaming news, I'll just go to Youtube, Gematsu or Reddit.

The last time Mods interfered with the Xbox OT it resulted in an exodus of Xbox users, and an attempt to create a rival site which ultimately failed but still hugely hurt Xbox fans activity on VGChartz as a whole. The last time the Mods interfered with the PS OT it resulted in an exodus of users to a rival site which was successfully made. Both interferences caused a notable decline in activity for both fanbases across the whole of VGChartz. I don't think we should start our solutions by ripping away things that members of the community like.

Didnt know that there was a Xbox centric site that was made lol - I know about the Playstation one lmao.

Something that I haven’t mentioned yet and I’m not sure if this is current, but in the past accessing this site from a desktop often triggered warnings by antivirus and anti malware programs. Is that still a thing? It’s a reason I have never accessed this site on my new computer and continue to use mobile.

Never been a thing for me, but I've used adblock for a long time, so that could explain it.

Should we make a 'discord/telegram' thread? I'd like to add a few users on here, you included.

I think there was one that was made a while back.

I already spend more time at Reset. It is nice being to go to a videogame forum without the top threads being anti American nonsense.

Maybe it was the shit ads? I don't know how the ads are now since I always have adblock on but I wouldn't be surprised if they were detected as malware, Lmao. It could have also been the https, sometimes this site had issues with the https and when it reverted back to http or it expired, it would label the site as a security risk, I've seen that a few times.

Got this idea from a Discord server but maybe it could be a "Socials Sharing" thread, not just Discord but things like Bluesky, YouTube, Backloggd, TV/Film Tracking Apps (TVTime, Letterboxd, SIMKL, etc.) All the other things, Lol. And Discord.
