The problem is when you're being specific about a user.
It's one thing to say "lol VGChertz's numbers"
But it's an entirely different thing when we're talking about Kowen, a specific user on the site that only people who have had experience with the site and its users know about. If you look at Gaf or any other site, they may trash VGChertz numbers of even vaguely talk about a user, like "Oh some people are such hypocrites, they love the QTEs of Blank, but The Order which has only a few is apparently trash, ridiculous!"
But how often are you going to see "Oh look Kowen's doing his thing again." on Neogaf?
Sales, Kowen, Sting, etc. are not "celebrities" in any sense, they are posters just like us. While Gabe and Orth are quite widely known, they are celebrities, and they are discussed whether you are on VGC, GAF, VizionEck, IGN.
While Kowen, Sales, etc are only known to VGC and VizionEck for the most part.
So please don't post specific posts (and maybe threads too?) and don't bring up specific people.
