Thread: Question on complaints about MyG news articles.

  1. #1

    Question Question on complaints about MyG news articles.

    I like reading the main page on MyG with all the news and what nots, even if its not really directly gaming related.

    Some ppl complain about MyG copying news from other sites and posting silly articles. I dont get why they complain, news isnt scooped by every site on the web. Every gaming site, of which there are hundreds, if not thousands, report the exact same articles, some copy from each other as the poster reads it there, but with a link, like MyG does. It just depends on which site you prefer. Its just ridiculous if you visit site A, then site B and then complain about news reposted on site B.

    Of course there will be a duplication of news. Every site tries to post as many of the important news bits as possible.

    Also, sometimes posting something thats not really gaming related but still fun is a nice to read. Obviously dont go mental and just post news about politics and the economy, but once in a while a fun story is great.

    I dont get the constant complaing about the acticles.

    I didn't even know that people are complaining. I don't read the comments to be honest. I suppose that's where people are complaining?

    I like MyGaming articles and I think Kevin has been a good addition to the team even if they don't let him post on the forums.

    The people in the comments section of the news articles love to bitch about stupid stuff. Luckily most of them stay away from the forum.

    I thought the purpose of mybb was exclusively to complain about stuff?

    What does mybb stand for, I thought it was My bitching box since it seems to be a soap box for people to bitch. I think I may be wrong now.

    My Broadband. A lot of ex Mygaming guys who should know better (knowing us a community and resources with which this site operates) like to diss this site. I used to be on Mybb myself but it was a such a boys club at one point that I came here.

    And the same here...

    You get your top 5 people pretty much rule the forum, and whatever you say is belittled by their superior post count.
