The data isn't gathered by those people, and I feel like the majority of the people who post here are civilized and intelligent relative to the rest of the gaming web community (which is the cream of the crap for internet communities, but still). As a multi-console site focusing on who's "winning the war", there's a remarkable amount of communication between people who favor one console or another. In fact, the only time it seems to break down is when someone comes in and starts complaining about a percieved systematic bias, or how all the Nintendo fans are bombing all over anything non-Nintendo related. While there are a) more Nintendo fans here proportionally (for reasons already enumerated) and b) there are idiot-trolls (this is the internet), I find that, for the most part, Nintendo (and Sony and Microsoft) fans don't unnecessarily shit on each other here, and if they have something negative to say about another console or game on a console, it's not completely ridiculous. So really, calm down. @sinha: It is douchey to troll the ratings. I'm just not convinced that anyone pays any attention to the end result. It's a very different situation than say, rateyourmusic.com, because here it's really tangential to why most people come to this site. |
Uh actually I'm not upset, so I don't need to calm down. I was just posing a question, that's all. I agree with you that this site is generally idiot-free.
What do you mean do I post about anything else? I created this thread for a reason, if I wanted to talk about something else I would start another or respond to another thread. Not sure what you mean by that.
