Evening all.
I'm Rob the tech admin for the site. I manage all of the back end hardware stuff. I probably won't be around on the forums as much as I'd like but you'll see me strike randomly in some threads then disappearing again.
Dazz and Petie will both tell you that if anything breaks it's my fault. Do not believe them, this is a lie!

Attention, all yoctograms! Any tree can drop an apple. I'll drop the freaking moon! Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart!
In all seriousness, I go by MexicanAnime and I joined the forums after my friend kept linking me pictures from Did You Know Gaming, which I quite enjoyed and wanted to check out more of.
I'm an avid anime watcher and have been reading more manga as of late as you can pretty much tell from my username. Other than that, everything else is pretty generic as I enjoy video games (favorites - Symphonia, The World Ends With You, Phoenix Wright 3 : Trials and Tribulations), music (Radiohead, Gorillaz, Neutral Milk Hotel), and all that jazz.
If you have any questions feel free to ask, and with that, I hope to get along with you guys.

Hello! I suppose I should stop in and make my own introduction.
First and foremost, Rob is definitely at fault for anything and everything that breaks on the site. And you can trust me on that. My name is red so that makes it true.
So, I'm Petie here and pretty much everywhere else. Barring a few jQuery plugins and the forum software, I wrote all of the code for VGFacts so any bug reports regarding the site should be directed to me. Other than that, I'll be around frequently, I hope, just generally maintaining the site.
For those curious, I'm 24 and graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2011. I'm currently in the middle of a very lengthy job application so I have a bunch of free time. I can't think of anything else really worth mentioning but I suppose you're welcome to ask if you're really curious.

So, why didn't we just stick with the old DYKG forums and why are they suddenly being shut down for this generic site?

Why don't you make a thread and talk about it in the Site Discussion, then?

While I agree with Zombie, if you must have an answer, it's because this site was custom written to integrate into the MyBB forum software for user accounts and for that to work, the site and the forum have to be in the same place. As for the site being generic, I'm not sure what you're looking at but I'd say it's pretty unique. Nobody is forcing you to use the forums though so if you're really that against it, you are of course welcome to simply not post.

I'm not adamantly opposed to it or anything, just irritated by the sudden change, and I just wanted a quick answer which is why I didn't make a separate thread about it. I'm glad to know that there's an actual reason for the switch and it's not just to generate more traffic to the site.
As for the generic, I mean neither of the forums are especially unique in any regard, but at least on the DYKG forums it was simple and to the point without having image-ads for the videos and other stuff nearly as in-your-face as this one, now it just feels cluttered and messy.
Eh, I'll stop complaining about it and just leave it be, nice to meet everyone and I hope to throw as many donuts at you guys as possible.

Fair enough. I can understand the confusion. I'll give you that DYKG's forum is a bit simpler looking but ad-wise, it seems to be more or less the same (though we do have the YouTube button).
Regardless, just know that it wasn't an arbitrary decision. Nice to meet you as well and enjoy the new site!

Change has different effects on people especially when said change hits so suddenly. All of us at DYKG will adjust and we will hold what we had over their in our minds. We will make more here with newer people.

I've only been on the original one for a week, so I'll think I'll be able to adapt fine. Well, least if the other members come here.

All the diligent ones will, such as myself, been on the other forums since day one, and now I will be on these forums since day one.
