To the members that chose Facebook, a social site, over this....

Yes PC World is a site for computers. As much as I dislike PC gaming I would still choose it over a social website. This choice makes me think about what they ever valued in video games in the first place. Maybe they were only interested in their friends and not the games. You disappoint me GamePro members, I thought you were gamers.

Hey Ace, The site covers a broad range of topics, but the dedication is to computers for the most part, I suppose. We do have gamers around here and some do play on multiple platforms ( I play on the PS2,PS3, & PC ). I guess they want something 100% dedicated to games and there are plenty of those around such as GoG + those dedicated to the various consoles. WE do have a thread for Games " Fun & Games " and it does get some use.

With FB's privacy issues and stuff, I refuse to trust them. The whole thing seems a bit stupid anyway, in my opinion. And yes, I am a teenager.

It's hard adjusting to a new board and a lot of GP'ers already knew each other on Facebook, so we got into contact there and set up a stopgap quickly while everything was up in the air. After that I think Facebook became a one-stop-shop sort of deal for the Forumites; you go talk to friends and family and then GP's right there too.

Being traitorous would imply we swore allegiance to Gamepro...which we certainly didn't. I come around often to read through threads and such but I don't post often because a certain member who has created a hostile environment for fellow Gamepro members. I enjoy this site, lol. The community is welcoming and kind, and I feel like I can say CPU or c2 stepping without having to explain what that is. PCWorld is fine, you're just creating unnecessary drama.

Given the -1's on our posts I'm guessing things are much more like old times.

Just so you know, you can only rate a certain amount of posts per day (I'm not the one who came up with that idea!).

So I suppose you would be a so-called "traitor" for having a GameSpot account?

Ace is just mad because he didn't get any "action" last night from his PS3

It appears you are misunderstanding my message. While I feel that PCWorld was lacking in console gaming talk and news, the GamePro merge helped alleviate that. However my main point is how a gamer can choose Facebook, a completely irrelevent social site, over this one. Although it has become quite clear that PC World needs more time to adjust more equally to console gamers it at least deals with PC gaming....which is more relevent than Facebook could ever be. That is why I wonder about the choices most of GamePro have made. To me they seem to value their friends and not the games or the news. In modern times I think you may understand it as "EPIC FAIL".

Facebook is supposed to be the place where you meet up with family and friends, not gaming family and friends. This is what I do not understand about many websites. Everyone is doing the "Follow us on Facebook, Twitter" thing. Yet the site they represent does the same exact thing except it's more focused on the same kinds of people as you.

Is the news right there too or do they have to click a button? To what end are people willing to go for the sake of convienance. Next thing you know Facebook will be the place to order pizza...because it's "right there too". Traitors.

Well, it's no surprise to see some of the crew sign up just to defend themselves. How's Facebook, the nongaming, nonreporting, and nonrelevent drama site? Wait, no need to answer that question. Instead, I want to know why you bothered to join GamePro in the first place. The way it looks now I expect it to be for the people and their personal issues and not the games.

No, being traitorous would imply you swore allegiance to gaming. Facebook has absolutely nothing to do with gaming...at all. It doesn't report news about gaming nor does it have menus to personalize your gaming related account. Where are your games? What have you played lately? Does Facebook provide that or is every so-called gamer doing great listing their bad hair days instead? Speak up traitor, my time is valuable!

Hmmm...Gaming....gaming....and, well, gaming. This does not make me a traitor, it makes me a gamer. What's your excuse?

Listen up, traitor, given the recent move by most members toward FaceBook, I'd assume you meant the type of "action" most members expect from Facebook. Sorry, my brother, the action I got last night was a game related one....as such it's an important point of this thread.

Oh yes, I forgot this one. My link & who can forget about this one My link. Also, PCWorld covers hundreds of other topics besides gaming, your point?
