We have a thread about Jeff and the whole deal right now. So put it there

What I want to hear are your own personaly reasons for sticking with this website. Me? I love the discussion in system wars,

I like reading and writing personal player reviews and I like gamespots game lists. Some of the posters here are great and the number of quality posters cannot be found anywhere else.

So what about you?

I'm staying because I am the leader of a union with over 200 members, and also because I've never really associated these forums with anything else that goes on around this site. The community is not to be blamed for CNET's issues.

i use it mainly to categorize the 300 or so games i own, im kind of a neat freak, also i can keep track about which games are coming out, i could care less about reviews, i love so many games people and critics rate 6 or so

I am in Gamespot because of the users, Jeff never affected my choice of coming here. However, the integrity of the reviews took a nice blow.

Ha, thats the short answer, long time members don't stay here for the games after all.

Edit: Why must every thread be plagued with spam?

Just for the fact that I've grown attached to the OT boards and for the people who respond to my blog posts, (too many to mention, but they know who they are. Props to them.) I've kinda grown attached to them, and it'd be a shame to stop corresponding with them because of other things going on with this site.

Fair play to you, I remember seeing one of his reviews when I first joined, it made me feel a lil bit depressed when I heard...Hopefully more will follow your lead and GS will have a full scale riot (even the Mods are pissed! :shock: )

Jeff spam is annoying though. I will keep my subscription, for tournament purposes.

I'm personally glad so many of you are impartial to this jeff issue, and have your own selfish reasons for not sticking up for a guy that lost his job, to give YOU an honest review. What a great world we would have with more of of the self obsorbed game catergorizing types.

Even though I'm upset and sad that Jeff left and Gamespot hardly has anymore great staff members (no offense to anyone), I'm not going to let this situation get the worst of me. I'm still going to stick here, because this is a gaming site and that's what it will always be. It's not a perfect site, by all means, and the admins aren't the best either. But I'm still staying because I've been here for years and like all of the video content. What other gaming site has a regular live show every week and a regular audio broadcast every week?

I do go to GameTrailers and really like their free HD videos, but I think Gamespots HD videos are better quality. I just wish they had more of them and they didn't require us to pay. With all the ads everything should be free.

I really don't know. I asked the same question when I decided to come back to OT after a bit of a break. At this point, it seems as though nothing here really changes, and I'm just posting here when I've got nothing else to do during the school week.

I agree with you, but as of today I'm having an affair with 1up.com andbecame a member. Meanwhile,my marriage to GS is in limbo. The only thing that sucks about becoming a member for other forums is that they make you wait a while to have certain posting privelages, when you already know the rules.

Because as interesting and funny as this whole Jeff thing is, I don't really care about it (or games for that matter)

This doesn't really affect me as I just came to OT anyway.
