Forums - Website Topics - What is VGChartz's Weakness?

A huge changeover is required and I don't want moderators trying to be so rude on my comments.

1. change in web design a requisite.
2. Trying to post articles favouring favourite console to be avoided at all cost.
3. I am impressed by the way 1up.com presents it out. U can refer to the site and make sure where improvements are required at minimum.
4. The very idea of posting shipping numbers of each console in the front Homepage is a real bad idea bcos i've seen several times the numbers being corrected. What's the intention VG..? I've seen the Wii going as close as 49.5 and now it's back to 47.89...misleading!!
So I recommend u guys changing it to hot selling/grossing game of the day/month.
5. Articles that give insight on developers work , console Hardware build and benchmark comparison for each game like FPS, CPU including other Technical aspects rather than rumours of anticipated releases, price cuts or exclusivity.

We have a weakness?

Moderators are far to bias and harsh.

Everything else is fine, bring on VGChartz 2.0!

What's up with having "online" and "im" under your username?

Don't get me wrong, they should definitely be there, but I'm thinking more along the lines of this:

and the same for IM. Not as big obviously, but it would look less... clumsy, I can't think of a better way to descripe it. Maybe have the two signs next to eachother, so they don't take up so much space.

Oh, some more options in the forums would nice, like our location, our VGchartz title and so fourth.

So 2 little images right by each other that say "online" and "IM".

 

I guess that would be better.

@Rainbird - sure we can create a little symbol for it or something, I thought you meant removing the feature alltogether...

Never

But ever since the IM came about, it has been a thorn in my eye xP

1) Very true, they should also be more polite. And if its a difficult job due to the workload then get more mods. To stop any sort of chaas have a ranking level so the new mods have to earn certain powers.

 

2) Agreed

 

Also, Brett, you may think the mods are great but there not. Websites with better mods, hmm okay how about:

 

Boltor & ChainSword

Heresy Online

The Tyranid Hive

Doctor Who Restoration Team Technical Forum (thats now closed)

Manchester United Community Forums

The Doctor Who Forum

Knight Rider Online

Warseer

There Will Be Brawl Forums

The Ultramarines Chapter

Britney.com Forums

davidhasslehoff.com Forums

 

The mods on this site are bias, some are too harsh and some too lenieant, some of them seem to pursue personal vendettas and thier aren't enough of them either. They also don't seem to have the most manners and they also don't seem to display any sort of consistency. I could have named more website on my list with superior mods but I felt that might be a tad harsh.



Manchester United 2008-09 Season - Trophies & Records

Barclays Premier League 2008-09: 1st // UEFA Champions League 2008-09: Finals (Yet To Play) // FIFA Club World Cup: Winners // UEFA Super Cup: Runners-up // FA Cup: Semi-Finals // League (Carling) Cup: Winners // FA (Charity) Community Shield: Winners
Records: First British Team To Win FIFA Club World Cup, New Record for No. Of Consecutive Clean Sheets In Premier League, New English & British League Records for Minutes Without Conceding, New Record For Going Undeafeated In Champions League (25 games ongoing), First British Team To Beat FC Porto In Portugal, First Club To Defeat Arsenal At The Emirates In European Competition, First Team In English League Football History To Win 3 Titles Back To Back On Two Seperate Ocassions

Any chance of getting e-mail notifications for new numbers? Like when any of the regions hardware and software numbers are up for a new week, an e-mail would be nice so I can jump straight to the site to check them out.

Also, in the compare games tool, the ability to choose from the game database directly via combobox or something like that would be nice, rather than having to type out the titles.

Another thing I would like is to be able to get a full version of the tabulated view for "Sales History" that you see on any game's page. I would like to be able to see all weeks (not just the first 10) for a game. This may be pathetic but my eyesight is very bad and I struggle to see the graphs properly. The table view is ace though.

Also, I do sometimes feel that this is a hostile site forums/mod wise. I have directed some of my friends to this site and they have all said the forums seem like nasty places. Just perception, but I have gotten this a lot from people I send here.

Otherwise, I look forward to version 2.0. :)
