They would have to actually fire, or get rid of some of their own MMORPG.com associates as well. As I have seen a few MMORPG writers and etc doing the same immature behavior that the bashers do. Basically supporting the flame wars and trolls. To me MMORPG.com has invited too many kids to be associated with their rankings and in the long run, no matter how nice their site looks they will lose their professionalism and their popularity. I for one have already started visiting elsewhere for my MMO news and it has been many topics on other boards that MMORPG is losing their touch and respect in the gaming community. The lack of forum rule enforcment is one of the major issues that will cripple MMORPG.com's future.
Seems as of yesterdays goings on, They are Perma banning anyone who speaks out about Vanguard. No warning, no reasions why, no e-mail. Perma.

Gee, I wonder who we're talking about...

Hmmm....
Waiting for something fresh to arrive on the MMO scene...

So that we people that enjoy the game can discuss it without all the noise from people that do not even play the game.
I do not think the official forums are going to be a place where you can go and get all "positive" posts to help you like VG. I know that liking VG is a very hard thing to do but regardless of whether they open official forums, this site will be viable.
You can think of it like the official forums are the "Network News" and mmorpg.com is like "Talk Radio". As has been proven, VG is failure and disaster of epic proportions. Sites like mmorpg.com identified it as such early on. You can go to the official forums to ask about helmets and other such nonsense but this will be a place where the the regular fans of the genre can discuss MMOs without censorship. I can understand censorship on the official forums because SOE is running a business and can moderate them as they please.
I am not sure if you live in the United States or not but here we like our freedom of speech. It does have limits but it is something we take for granted in this country. If you are in another country you may not have this same feeling.
Excuse me I don't jsut bitch about the game. I discuss it. I say what I do not like and then make suggestions on what they can do to fix it. Unlike some of you that just come in here and bitch and moan about Brad, about SOE, about Vangaurd, about this game sucks and this game is going to be dead and it is trash and whatever. Atleast when you come in here you could discuss it and give suggestions on what you'd like to see them do. Oh wait, you can't, it is beyond you. So enjoy this forum as it becomes a infested place of nothing but you guys moaning about how Vanguard sucks. Enjoy your board.
Vanguard Sucks....
Heres what they can do to fix it.
REDO the game engine to support the minimum system specs not posted on the box but was posted on there website ! (yeah no system reqs on my box either)
Fire Brad, instead of keeping him around as a ornament they need to publicly fire him and make it embarrassing so we all have a nice target to throw our darts at.
Advertise the game for a broader base of players not the elitist obnoxious " i am better then anyone crowd " (cough OP ?).
Redirect all the money they are spending on game Shills in game forums and put that back into the development budget (should get back millions).

In fact, if you go take a look at the official forums, it seems as if it's the same old thing in terms of comments, proving that it's the game's problems that are behind the negativity, not non-subscribers who happen to be bitter. Can't say that I'm too surprised.

Wow, interesting when YOU bitch about Vanguard its discusion, but when others discuss it they are bitching? You seem to have a very high impression of your own self worth. (ie the game needs to make the changes YOU want to be good, yet with your OP you state your one who enjoys the game as is.)
Be happy in your elitist forums where you and the rest can tell everyone that has any problems with the game its because they play it on a $500 best buy (even if it meets all the recommended reqs). Hehe be like the rest and say "what you got a problem? Go back to WoW your not hardcore enough to be on our server!" Yes its the great mature elitist attitude of you, and others like you that made VG the great seller it is today

There is a huge difference in discussing something then just drive by posting saying the game sucks. A huge difference. I'm all up for discussion but not the BS that occurs here.

I can read them.
