Cynic wrote I have been a member for well over a year now, and I can say for certain, that this, as well as a good majority of other sites like it, are a giant waste of time. I started by hosting modded lobbies on ps3. I bought two ps3's via a good deal, and hosted for the better part of 4 months. A simple thank you was too much to ask for, not even thanking the topic, just a thanks in general, and people became overtly greedy. It got to the point where I was receiving threats if I did not let them in the lobbies. I promptly sold the extra ps3, and my value as a member decreased sharply. I'll admit, I used it as an outlet to market for my YouTube channel, but then I realized even that was a waste of time. The prime problem with sites like this is that probably 95% of the members are working towards their own possible gain. When was the last time you had a legitimate conversation on one of these sites. All opinion posts turn into flame wars that get locked and are full of fourteen year old kids trying to see how many thumbs up they can get for some stupid joke. Now I can admit, not all members are like this. But the fact remains that sites such as this cater to a younger and less mature community. It is nothing against the site or the content it promotes, the blame lies with the selfishness of the users. I used to love the site. But the topics and their gradual digression to basically mundane attempts at grabbing attention have ruined it entirely. And on that, I will say goodbye TTG. I'll stick to reading the actual articles and the news forum. /rant
