I tend to believe that those types of posts are actually secret code left on an anonymous site to transfer data betwixt members of a secret society. That way, I don't lose quite as much faith in humanity as a whole.

I'm very much with Stick on this. It's a natural reaction, and I understand it: the Wii has become the most popular console on these boards, and since the majority of users on the board are Wii owners, the mob mentality tends to set in and people start saying things they probably wouldn't in an environment that wasn't so pro-Wii.

But if we ever want this site to become less pro-Wii, and more even handed and objective -- I certainly want that to happen -- then we need to stop jumping on every pro-360/PS3 comment.

I'm grateful to Legend11, Lost Tears of Kain, Sinha, MrStickball, Rocketpig, and others for sticking around in what is clearly a hostile environment. Many of the other 360 fans left: even if the data presented on the site is interesting, no one wants to get attacked every time they mention interest in their favorite console.  

I think that this is the nature of the beast when you have competing consoles. It's kind of like sports teams. Most people root for their favorite teams and sometimes people have more than one favorite team. For example, my two favorite football teams (Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers) will be playing each other very soon. I intend to cheer for both because they're both teams I like much like I cheer for multiple consoles because I like them. Now, just because I cheer for them doesn't mean I can't recognize their failings whether it be football (awful snaps, poor passes) or consoles (bad price point, hardware failures, lack of storage).

Also like sports teams, people are seriously into a team will boo the other team. They will scream things at the other team. They will say and do many offensive things. I see more malice at a single football game than the entirety of vgChartz in a week. And yet people here complain about it.

I think people who are bothered by this stuff need to grow a backbone and a thicker skin.

lol

 i am sorry i am still a kid to gamming world if i talk shit sometime is cus i am dumb and new the gamming world just help so i can become pure gammer instead of a hateboy which i am please pappapapa please blu ray lalalallalal  i found that funny

I think this is exactly what stick is talking about. What does this have to do with the topic?

Scotland - Posts like that are what I'm talking about.

Words of Wisdom - I understand the thick-skin thing. Part of me doesn't care about the fact of the anti-X360 stuff that goes on sometimes.

But....

If we want to get more users to the Xbox 360 forums, we have to stop some of the junk that goes on. I fully understand the fact the Wii is winning, and more people 'get on the boat', but with much succuess comes much responsibility from the Wii users....Which sometimes isn't showing up.

And again, here's the issue: Wii owners don't have to deal with people befouling their Nintendo forums, do they? I mean, I usually see threads about PS3 failues, X360 RROD, and such posts. But not so much for the Wii. Don't get me wrong, that's a great thing, but that's how it should be for all of us, not just the Nintendo camp.

I don't understand why people seem to think that there are way more Wii users than Xbox 360 users. I mean, they're within a million in sales with one another. I own both, but this site is definitely geared towards Wii owners.

No if you had half a brain you understand why its doubtful.  If you are going to make a statement as large as this one make sure at least it has some kinda credibility not jsut an idiotic rant by and unthoughtful post.  Back to drawing boards buddy.
