[QUOTE="cryptosopoidium"]Because Giant Bomb has "Better Mods" which is total BS. I got banned without warning then they trolled me. GS is way better.Jandurin
You can get banned from Giantbomb now?
I remember when they started there were no rules so everyone got their fill of swearing at eachother and trolling before they did anything about it because it got out of hand.
A lot of people did leave because they thought the GS mods were too strict, and they saw GB as a haven of sorts, where rules are less strict and so forth. I tried getting into the forums there, but most threads seemed to be copycat GS threads (like roll call, for instance) and many other spam fests... I guess in the end I just liked GS better.
[QUOTE="dukebd699"]Because appearently Jeff deserves to be appraised since he was "honest" even though he was just as unprofessional as he was honest.dukebd699
Professionalism in this industry is just lame. The only reviewer I've seen who've managed to pull it off decently was Greg Kasavin.
But how many reviewers write, "This game sucks" in their reviews? None because there can be backlash from the company. Also, he used the F word in a joke in one of his video revews. Then he had no idea what he was talking about in one where he said that variety in a certain game was a bad thing even though he said the variety in it didn't seemed to be tacked on last minute. The day variety in a video game is a bad thing is the day I quit gaming.
If he think that the game sucks...then why shouldn't he say/write it? As long as he explains why, I don't care. And I don't mind the "F" word at all...it takes the whole corporation-feel out of it.
I joined Giantbomb and made an account there, and it was cool to be there...for about a week, then I lost interest in it completely. I just like it here more and have more friends here.
I never got what the big deal is about Jeff -- I found him quite obnoxious at times. He probably epitomizes what a lot of people who loved him wanted to be -- why they wanted to be THAT is beyond me.Sajedene
I like his reviews and he puts entertainment in a lot of his videos/podcast. On the Spot is a great example. I also like Brad Shoemaker and he does a lot more on Giantbomb than he did here at Gamespot. Gamespot lost a lot of good people and 3 are now on Giantbomb.

Why did they make you a mod? This place is going downhill.

[QUOTE="Ragamer"]I was just on GB, and I noticed that the forums are so confusing.limpbizkit818
The forum button brings up all the newest posts no matter the board.
You can organize boards by making a favorites list.
It's still missing crucial elements that make a forum functional - the biggest of which is that in your post history it doesn't say if there are new posts in a thread or not. I couldn't believe it when GS had its makeover and they go and miss this out too. Unbelievable!
