So Giant Bomb is a success, who'd have thought it?

So yeah 11,811 users signed up to GiantBomb at the moment, thats a little mind blowing for a site only 3 days is it? into beta launch! Also looks good for the future success of GiantBomb aswell. The editing and submission of articles on the wiki has been astounding aswell i think, people already are close to that 1000 point mark already i believe, shocking when i only have 4 points lol. Although i do have a number of things pending in the moderation queue so hopefully they'll get accepted, or sadly rejected, soon so i can get me some points!

The forums are chaos, i think that we can all agree something is needed to make them easier to navigate and keep an eye on. Saw one moderator on the forums today, poor bugger seems to be fighting the spam all on his own lol. Also a few trouble users seem to have been banned which is cool, no need for people to ruin our time here. The topics themselves seem to have become more game related now which is a cool thing, got tired of the same "omg GB.com is awesome!" ones. We all know GB.com is awesome, thats why we're still here.

Also there seems to be a huge amount of hate from Gamespot towards GiantBomb and i guess it goes both ways from GB.com to GS. One user on Gamespot who's username i shall not repeat was posting about her dislike and hate for the GiantBomb users and site in general, yet she also stated in the same post she had never come to GB.com yet or ever intended too. Such ignorance makes me angry, GiantBomb is a place where gamers can seriously get together and become a community better by being apart of the site and its evolution. But i guess some on Gamespot just love their child friendly forums and constant religion threads in OT....

Anyway think i'll end this blog here, probably post a blog on Gamespot now lol, and hopefully my submissions will go through because i look like a right sad git with only 4 points :O!

It's hard to find the general forums and I would recommend a directory for those. Some of my submissions got approved (some sooner than others). Images seems to be accepted quicker when you are trying to add them to a gallery for a game, person etc.

People have already gone past 1000 posts. Around 3-4 I think.

As this site is still in beta, I have very few major complaints.  What Jeff and the gang have done is to start a site that has the potential to explode.   I've decided to stop my edits to the site's articles, because I'm certain that so many others are still adding enough as is.  It's overloading those working to approve submissions. 

I've given some amount of time to my edits, but I realized that perhaps it's not worth it.   When traffic to the site chills, I'll reengage my enthusiasm for correcting GTA and Final Fantasy mistakes.

So many are trying to edit as well, and too many of my queues will ultimately prove in vain.

Some work should be targeted at the forums, I agree; however, I'm happy with Giant Bomb overall.

Well put.

I agree about the forums. I haven't posted simply cause they're a mess. As for the GS fanboy. Each to their own, so long as everybody here is a gamer first and a GB fanboy second I'm happy. :)
