GAMESPOT EXODUS!

#1 Posted by tmontana1004 (376 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

So who has left GS? If this place goes well, I'm definitely staying. I saw MoldOnHold somewhere before and I think Renegade. I think Dreams and Bond are here too. Post here if you're from GS so I can add you as a friend.

This place is going to be GameSpot 2.0, I can feel it.


#3 Posted by BlackWaterCO (1573 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

No, NO!

All the Fanboys from System Wars and Liberals and Wack jobs from OT

Great >.<

I came here from Gamespot, but I still prefer the layout of gamespot more.

This site is very cluttered, too much STUFF.

I have... I got banned.

After 4 years of activity, the moderation really adds up... I've tried to be nice, I really have. But they yell at me for the littlest things.

I am a great community member. Most of the people I meet like me. I don't want trouble, just a new home that will respect me while I respect it.

#7 Posted by Blu_Magic (2021 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I'm from Gamespot. i'm known as SaintBlaze over there.

Sounds like a plan Relys. This seems like it's gonna be the place to be now. They just need to add some better forum features like emotes and signatures.

Yeah I have to agree with you..then again I have been at gamespot for like 4 1/2 years now so I guess I am just kinda used to it. This site feels a lot like wikipedia though. On the other hand no mods = lots of fun haha. I am def. staying.
#13 Posted by SUPDUDELOL (13 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

#15 Posted by DreamsVisions (353 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I'm sure 90% of day-1 users are from GameSpot or heard about this through GameSpot.

#16 Posted by NotaStalker (172 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Ugh, religious debate. Everyone comes out a loser.

You can never convince those Christians... >.>

#21 Posted by Lemmywinks_360 (66 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

#22 Posted by Overrated_Hero (238 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

#23 Posted by TrueManticore (4 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I am from gamespot, scoobiesnackarff over there.

#24 Posted by whoozwah (52 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I came over from GS. same name there as here, whoozwah. I'll prolly maintain both profiles until I get enough buds over here.

#25 Posted by sdodd02 (722 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yep you're a SW regular but I don't remember most of these accept for MoldOnHold.
#27 Posted by TheRefinedPirate (13 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Came from GS, but you wouldn't recognize me..

#28 Posted by onemic (8 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I was from GS until Gerstmann-gate, then I left. I tried to bring some people with me, but you were all too weak!

#29 Posted by mattz (33 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I left GS quite some time ago, just couldn't stand the fanboys and kids any longer.

#30 Posted by grievous113 (30 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I still go to gamespot and leave blog and video posts, but will say that this is my new home. I prefer the staff here and respect them more as well.

My username at gamespot is: blackninja01 (I was very into ninja gaiden at the time)

#31 Edited by WINDWAKER1 (46 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I'm from gamespot too. The site sucks; people take it way too seriously.  and my username is the same.

Oh dear lord I hope that never happens!  But to answer the topic I am no longer going to use Gamespot.  Mainly because everyone I knew from it is here and everyone I used to know don't post there anymore
#33 Posted by DreamsVisions (353 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

^ it's not the people that take GameSpot too seriously.  It's the staff.  It's damn near unprescidented in all of interwebz how they handle their site.

It's draconian and cold.  I've posted (or post) on several major sites...and none of them are as bi-polar, heavy-handed or non-sensical as GameSpot.  one of the few sites where you can post exceptionally for 5 years, then get banned for a week for saying that someone said something "idiotic". 

They can fly a damn kite on the moon.

#34 Posted by dabada (107 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I'm still a regular at Gamespot.

I've been reading Gamespot since 2000 and I've been a member there since 2002 (6 years).

My original username there was dabada, but I changed it to man_hammer. Man Hammer was a name that a friend of mine made up for me when I created a wrestler on WWE Smackdown! I had planned on changing my name back to dabada, but that feature was removed from the site. I wish I could change it back.

I still plan on staying regular at Gamespot. I consider it to be a good site. About 2004-2006 was my favorite years there. All of my favorite editors were there. Jeff, Greg, Carrie, Alex, Bob, Rich, Ryan, Brad, Vinnie, etc...  To tell you the truth...I miss those days.

Giantbomb is looking to be a great site. The Giantbombcast is absolutely awesome and it reminds me of the old Hotspot. I still support Tor and his efforts on the Hotspot.

I'm happy to be a part of the efforts of Jeff and Ryan (and now Brad and Vinnie). It's like being a part of history.



#35 Posted by LAMP (151 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I guess in a sense I'm coming from Gamespot, but I was never really active in the community there.

#36 Posted by riverbridge (34 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I am from GS, but I'm not leaving it just yet.

#37 Posted by DASH (58 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

If this board becomes a cess pool of Gamespot refugee posters I don't think I'm going to stick around very long.  For those of you saying, "Big loss there" sarcasticly, let me assure you that I am in fact totally rad.  I would make this forum completely awsome.  Just take my word for it, I don't have any proof of this right now.

#38 Posted by Juxiang (14 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

From GS (Vampyronight there) and for now I'll be splitting my time. If these forums take off, and right now they're extremely nonsensical, then I'll probably move over here more permanently.

#39 Posted by BlackCurtain (60 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I came from gamespot too I guess, although I've been completely apathetic to the site after Jeff got fired, for some reason.

#40 Posted by raahsnavj (43 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I showed up from GS. same username. Hopefully this catches on and gets going seeming gamespot was becoming fairly... stale.

#41 Posted by Casual (22 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

go back to GS, leave this forum for people worth a shit.

#42 Posted by MechaKirby (165 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Disco dance party explosion!

#43 Posted by Exit (13 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I only used to go there to make wishlists and things... that's it.
