I remember those dark days, Nintnedo fans on their high horse and bias moderators because the Wii was a break out hit, so any discussion/critique of the lack of AAA 3rd party games on the Wii, graphics comparisons for games like COD on Wii and similar, talk about the waggle controls being a gimmick , talk about mods being bias for going on banning sprees (banning 360 or PS3 fans only), and just calling someone a "Nintendo Fanboy" got you banned or perma banned.
If you were a 360 or PS3 fan, then you would get shat on by Nintendo fans with impunity, the only real discussions were really between the PS3 and 360 fans, sure they called each other out, and at times some behaved like real fanboys, but at least discussions were lively, before user numbers started dropping.
About the peak of the Wii sales followed by it's sharp drop, is when I started noticing that forum activity was dying off, it picked up again around the WiiU launch and I guess has remained steady through the launch of the PS4 and xbox one, the mods have eased out and have become more diversified, well that's been my observation, but I haven't posted much in years, not after getting banned during those dark days, I found refuge on this thread and sorta just come back for this thread only.
That's been my observation since this start of this site till today, I may be off as of the past few years since I've been less active, but in the early days I was really active till I got banned for calling out a Nintendo fanboy, dark days.....but that's the life a forum user, eventually we all get banned at least once XD
