Forums - Website Topics - Why does nobody use VGC IM?

You paid for it! Some of you paid $250, some $1250, and some $2000! 540 of you have IM, and yet in the last few months, I've never seen more than 6 people on at once, and that's on a good day. Sometimes I find it empty, sometimes there is one other person.

With 169 members online, at least 40 of them must have IM, right? So why is there currently me, one other person, and two people who are away?

It's inconvenient, especially in a time when browsers use tabs, so we don't open new windows anymore. If they made it like the Facebook chat, where it's always visible, but you can browse the site normally, then I'll use it.

Actually I browse the web alot and it still works well.

OT: Because most people hardly see any people their when they are there
and are like no one is never here so I guess I won't be here also

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

VGC IM doesn't give you VG$ when you post.

I use it about once a week. Typically when I'm updating the Prediction League or something. I'd use it more often if more people were on. However, I find that if I sit in IM I can get a small group going.

I'd join now, but I'm off to go play some video games and then head out on the boat in nice high 70's sunny weather




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I have a idea, why not the OP organize a Weekly IM time/event? And make sure to edit the OP.

We could have IM chats at 11:00 in the Sunday every week or something. One of the reasons I don't use IM is because whenever I go on, there's nobody on anyway.



I have better things to do
