(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Plain and simple the site is trying to become to professional. I'm not trying to be negative, but it's getting too serious. We're relying way too much on "Home". This site was created, and made successful based on the "forums". Are we trying to be the next IGN? They have so much on us. IGN was created in 1996, NGU was in 2008. That site has been around longer than most of the community has been alive. Like we won't be that big, this site like I said was forum based. When I was talking to Outsider he said the site doesn't want to be known for glitches and hacks. But when the peak of active users were here our forum logo said "Welcome to NextGenUpdate home of the latest glitch and tricks" that's why everyone came here. Instead of focusing on the "home" why not just make the forums 10x better? Then the argument we need to expand comes up. All we need is advertising. Get an actual youtube team. I know there's changes coming soon. But please don't be largely based on home. Once again not a negative thread. Just an opinionated thread.

Why do you always do this man? You leave for a couple weeks then come back acting as if you don't give a shit but then you complain how the site has changed and then leave again. No offence intended but you do this a lot man.

I agree on this, and this is why we've become to suck as of late..

I've said this before and I'll say this again, NGU has SOOOOOOOOO many great ideas, but we just try to do them all at once and it just doesn't work. If we were to do one great thing at a time, like a YouTube channel, we'd be fucking #1, then we can just move on to the next thing, but no, no, we do so many things at once and we get fudged because it's too much.

A lot of good people left or got banned or just don't come anymore. No one wants to help as much, and a lot of mods sometimes aren't in the SB. But, it's whatever. I love this site and everyone on it, and everyone knows I try to help anyone at any time. vBookie was my thing and it got taken away for really reasons unknown, which is another thing, idk why we do shit like that lol. But whatever I don't wanna argue with that again, but we do remove things for no reason. But yeah it all starts with the people first, you can't have a great site with no good people on it.

Hurah!
I remember when i first came here. It was mainly because of Outsiders glitch videos on cod4. Things that show something that i have not seen before really gets my attention. What Ngu needs imo, is a leader. It seems like everything is sporadic to me. Most of the time when I come here, I go straight to the General Discussions forum. That is the only thing that grabs my attention really now a days. It used to be " New hack/glitch found!" Something that showed something really interesting.

Yea I remember when NGU was based on glitches, now there's not much difference from another "Forums" site. Glitching and Mods/Hacks helped it stand out now its News/Reports and I don't even check here for that I use other sites. I do agree that NGU has a lot of great things, its just going to fast.

I didn't think of that at all.
