Post by: Stupid Mop on July 12, 2001, 07:45:16 PM
Yep, they are merging as of 18 july!

Sounds pretty cool. It should be a kick ass site cause MSXbox is already pretty good. :D

Hey, everytime I visited MSXBox I was seeing XBox glorification and GC/PS2 bashing in a full wide circle. You like the place, that\'s cool, but my impressions of it aren\'t too cheerful.

Well hyper you are right in a sense. Ever since January of this year MSXBOX has been going downhill, as more people have joined. Now this crap with **** ass teamxbox, Can you imagine how packed those forums are going to be, and all the PS2 and GC bashing that will happen.

I think PSX2 is the best game forum out there. One of the things I like about this forum is that it has a small community of people. When you come here, it\'s like home, when you go to MSXBOX it\'s like a FU*KEN jungle.

Plus there is way to many morons over at MSXBOX, granted there is good people there, but the idiots out number them. I\'m sick and tired of going to MSXBOX and all the people do is glorify the system, like it\'s GOD.
Anyhow I barely ever go to MSXBOX anymore and with this teamxbox business I intended to stay away from there.

Aw, let\'s not bash MSXBOX. Granted, it\'s not for everybody, but the same can be said about this place.

But I can hardly wait until Xbox is releashed, so we can discuss it in here (those who bought and like Xbox that is, no flame fests thank you ;)). I\'m sure it\'ll cover my Xbox discussion needs.

I think this is great for teamxbox and Msxbox. I love msxbox. I agree that way...way too many new members have joined lately. But with the two merging I expect the forum to get 100% better double the moderators will help this.

And I think some psx2 posters are little bit more open that some  msxbox posters. BUt psx2 has it share of bias views and opinions too. I think one thing I like about psx2 that I hope happens in the new msxbox well TeamXbox. Is more enforcement of rules bye the mods.  I think the mods here are more strick. I mean that MM is one strick mother-shutyomouth;)

Well, the number of Moderators that frequent the forums should increase with the forum merger, so I\'m sure the influx in bashings should be taken care of. Although.. those moderators come from different backgrounds and may be more or less leniant..

Oh well, things will get sorted out. :p

I don\'t like the amount of bashing that goes on there either, but I can\'t exactly rule with an iron fist of vengeance and delete all of the bashings there. I do my best to keep the worst people out. Like most forums, it has a great deal of intelligent members; it\'s just a bit harder to find them there.

As Samwise said, it isn\'t for everyone, but no forum is.

I agree every forum is different. And I know that the mods try and with so many members joining you have to be everywhere. I believe everything will get 10 times better. Once everything gets done and up and running. I mean every forum has it\'s goods and it\'s bads. Well in anycase I like msxbox and psx2central. And both have their good and there bad.

I see... mods can only do much in such a thick swarm of people. But I\'m glad we agree on PSX2Central being one of the finest sites on the net, OGodly. I hope this merging bodes well for MSXBox. It\'d be fun to chat with XBox fans in a hygienic forum.

Maybe MSXBOX has the best XBox news, but as far as the forum goes MSXBOX is the most biased and crappy site on the internet. I can\'t stand going there. The way they completely bash other systems and blatently lie to make their precious XBox look superior... it makes me sick.

true true!  Sometimes I visit the $$$M$XBOX$$$ forums (I\'m not a member!!!!!!!!!!!!) and it\'s funny (and sad) to see this 10 years old boys bashing other systems.

Whereas I believe most ppls opinion should be respected ( and I hope I don\'t get flamed for saying this b/c this is my opinion) as a member of MSXBOX, I don\'t think the membership should be overgeneralized by  implying that there is more bashing of other consoles going on there than at any other forum. Every forum has it\'s fair share of bashers from both senior and junior members, It\'s just a biased thang. As for blatent outright lying about the PS2, a lot of mems there know more factual info about PS2 hardware it seems than  some mems here know about Xbox (that\'s no diss just my POV). I\'m no fanboy, b/c I plan to purchase a PS2 after I get an Xbox and I have defended the PS2 on a few occasions at MSXBOX (admittedly probably not nearly enough times). IMO MSXBOX has some of the most tech savvy mems as anybody and I think it\'s a great forum as well as PS2 Central b/c I also think this site is the best PS2 site on the net and is the first place I come for info about the console and to read what other games think. That\'s just my 2 cents worth.

I haven\'t been there for like 5 months, but when I was there, the mods were just as bad as everyone else.  Most of the mods supported PS2 bashing, often bashing the PS2 themselves, and said if anyone had a problem with it, they should just leave.  I don\'t think I was ever a member there, but I never went back there again.  Remember, this was back in the day when there was no info on any console besides the PS2, so they really didn\'t have anything to do besides bash it.  I hope it has gotten a little better since then.

I can only think of one of us (mod and admin) who does not plan on buying a PS2 or already own us.  You must have bumped into a Mod who is no longer with us.

I won\'t comment on some of the forums coments (well one comment... watching this board for a year or so I would say things change and people calm down after their console is released) but I do wish we had someone who saw the PS2 as their primary system (but buying/wishing they could buy the others) helping to mod the Debate board.

Alright alright, not everyone at MSXBOX is like that. But the amount of scum there far outnumbers the amount of good posters. Sad but true.

P.S. Sorry M4 and ho3j. I know you both post there and I wasn\'t trying to offend either of you. Its a fact though that the majority of the people at MSXBOX are biased, hypocritical, lieing a-holes.

I see the PS2 as my primary system. I may buy others...but it doesn\'t seem likely. Debating is fun...unless someone else has a haughty attitude (arrogant). But then I think people like that have already lost the arguement before it started. Oh nevermind...;)

I agree win I first visted this site in september there where a tons of bias views on the board. I remember coming back in November and man if you mentioned the ps2 being bad on this forum. You got attacked. And you where given a crazy pick bye your name and then banned.

All sites go through there phases.

Maybe so but those pics sure were funny weren\'t they? :laughing:

I miss the old pouting baby and llama pics... :(

Where did all the fanboys go?

No not you OGodly (j/k ;)), the really bad fanboys. Like DocWiz, SegaCultX, the old Jumpman.

Funny, seems i\'m the only still around. I\'m mean really they all left everyone one of them, even the famous  NPLAYER.

I\'m sure MSXBOX will be even better when Xbox is actually released - plus they\'ll be getting some fresh blood in the TeamXbox merger. :)

But if they\'re really the crappiest site on the Internet (as someone said) then I must say the general standard on the net has certainly gone way up since my last visit! :D
