Now,I know a lot you here are getting pretty ubset about all the Xbox topics that have been posted here recently(thank Rev for bringing them to us),and a respected member here asks if we should be allowed to post GameCube news here. I believe I have a perfect solution-a new forum.
This could be a forum where you can:
-Post GameCube,Xbox,or DC news.
-Discuss anything about GameCube,Xbox,and DC.
The point of this is to grant the members of this forum who plan on buying more than one console the oppotunity to discuss them in any fashion they wish(you don\'t have to own the console to discuss it though).This would be nice for those people and for everyone as well. You have to admit,only talking about PS2 can get boring to a certain extent.And console debating is totally losing it\'s edge... So adding another forum could add some excitement here.
Sratch that thought. Console debating is pratically dying now. I think it\'s time we eliminated "Console Debating" and replaced it with "Other Console". If this would happen, then I guarantee that it would receive a respectable amount of posts, and possibly maybe even more than Off-Topic...

Why:
(why you think there should or shouldn\'t be a new forum.)
(copy and paste the bold part then add your name)
Insert your name in which ever one you feel would be better.
Also,I am fully aware that this is a PS2 based site,but that doesn\'t matter.NintendoNation has other forums besides a nintendo one,and there doing just fine.
Edit:God dammit.I should of said "A new forum would be nice". Stupid me.

Against:
1: No one posts to it
or
2: It becomes another debate forum

Ok,you misunderstood my post a little bit.
You were suppose to reply like this.

Second,I said we should get rid of console debating. So this forum could be like console debating,but with less flamming,more discussing,and to be allowed to post news. This could make the Main forum a lot cleaner,with no Xbox or NGC post.Don\'t we all want to talk about PS2 here? Well we could talk about Xbox and NGC somewhere else,so this works out for all the major PS2 fans.
-
I don\'t think it would do any good. Anyone is free to post other console news in the main forum, but it\'s when certain people will post NOTHING but other console news in the main forum that it becomes a problem. These people aren\'t posting this news to inform, they are doing it to piss people off. Regardless of what Rev, XboxJunkie, SegaCultX, or whatever these fanboys say, when you really cut through all the bullsh*t (an god knows there\'s a lot of it), all their doing is trying to piss us off. Creating a new forum won\'t stop them from posting in the main forum, since that is the forum that gets the most views and offers them a better chance to piss people off.
A "Other Console" forum isn\'t necessarilly a bad idea.. but it won\'t get rid of fanboys and anti-Sony boys.

That is what the other forum is for,and if one non PS2 topic were to occur then it could simply be moved by one of the mods.

Well in my opinion,those people should be bannned.And we don\'t see too many of them lately.Rev is the only one who annoys us now.I think its time we kicked him out...

Why: I just see people debating the instant something positive is said about a console that they do not like. Fanboys are a self-replicating, unstoppable force.

Don\'t be sad Ho3j. That\'s your opinion. Nobody is going to flame you for what you posted.
I think someone will join your side, but that wasn\'t me because I showed my true opinion there.
And so did you. I see that as a positive, not a negative, thing.

The frown was for fun :) Hard to convey silliness on the forums

Hmm, well, to tell ya the truth, I kinda like seeing non-PS2 related stuff on the Main Forum, as long as its in small quatities. But, as long as it is allowed on the Main Forum, even if only in very small doses, there will be some fanboys who will take it to the extreme. So the result is:

Good
it will keep the trolls out of the main forum :D
Bad
the new forum will decend into the depths of HELL after a WEEK ! :evil:.
-
exactly. the only reason anyone will even go to the new forum will be to flame.
-
By the time this thread dies,everyone will want the "Other" forum. Let me show all of you inferiors some more of the glorious possibilities of a spanking new forum!
hoej-
I just see people debating the instant something positive is said about a console that they do not like. Fanboys are a self-replicating, unstoppable force.
This can also be streched into a debating forum too,my plan did invlove removing the console debating section. But the awnser to that problem is simple-a good mod.Someone who would delete all the flame topics,someone who would immediately stop the fanboy,someone who would take charge! But I\'m speakig the truth,a good mod could easily stop the fanboys and out of control debates,making it better for the memebers who want to contribute.

Here\'s a thought...how about no non PS2 related topics in the main forum? If you wanted to here about other console, then check out the other forum once in a while.
Good
it will keep the trolls out of the main forum
Damn right it will.I also belive that it will make them more calmer...more tame...it could be beneficial to the fanboys really. They could stop posting biased stuff completely,making them less annoying.:D
So SS88,hoej,and ooseven...shall I put you in for now? :D

Like a siad in my post above,a good mod could easily handle it.And do you see the amount of peolpe who would want this already? I don\'t see any flamers in the "for" list.
And no ooseven,I doubt it will burn up in a weeks time. I think it can be as lively as Off-Topic if everything went well.:)

Waste of time, no one will do it. Everyone just uses this main forum anyway. This board just needs to be moderated better and move all the debate posts to the debate forum. Then people will finally realize that this main forum is not for debating.

Well now,it looks like you will not be accepted into the "other" forum with that attitude.:D
But seriously,with another forum like the one I described, it would be ok to debate,and there wouldn\'t be any non PS2 related topics in the main forum. Isn\'t that what we want? Who wants to come into the main forum and see a bunch of Xbox topics? No one.That is what the other forun would be meant for.
And people would use it by the way,I\'m already certain of that.

Ok,can I please get some feed back from the mods? This is a golden idea that you guys should think about for a while. I\'m telling you,the "Other consoles" forum is a great idea. I already have so many awesome threads planned,please take this into consideration.[/winninglittlekid]
Look at all this news for other console today.

I hate the idea
This is a PS2 fan forum for a PS2 based website
If I want GBA, GC, Xbox forums I goto those Forums
If we have another console forum it will be only a matter of time before we attract some PS2 haters who will insist on crossing forums to "Set us Straight" with there BS opinion about stuff they\'re clueless on.
Jumpman if there is one thing that is guarntee not to be possible if full harmony between console fans

-
see? i told ya. nice idea but its simply not gonna happen.
-
I agree with Ddaryl. We just need better mods to ***** at people.
In a perfect world your idea would work, but I just know that is would be one more forum that no one would visit.

Double click please: http://nintendonation.efront.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro

But the fact is most people here don\'t go to other forums. Instead of starting a new name for themselves they could just stay here...
we have another console forum it will be only a matter of time before we attract some PS2 haters who will insist on crossing forums to "Set us Straight" with there BS opinion about stuff they\'re clueless on.
Like a said,a good strong mod could easily handle the anti-Ps2 morons.
Jumpman if there is one thing that is guarntee not to be possible if full harmony between console fans
I disagree completely. This site has a lot of unbiased people,hell,that\'s why I come here. This place has the most unique members that stand out then any other forum on the web.
Again,a good mod could handle the people who would just want to cause trouble with ease.
Your like Matin Luther King "I have a Dream"
Thanks...I think...
see? i told ya. nice idea but its simply not gonna happen.
..............Ignoring you.;)
ddaryl,why don\'t we just try out the idea anyway? If it doesn\'t work out according to plans,then shut it down for good. If it becomes successfull,then keep it up and let the people discuss other console with joy. I don\'t see console debating doing anything much,this new forum could be a hit. Why don\'t you give it a chance?
-
ddaryl, I think you overlooked one thing. Having the new forum would, lets say, "clean up" the main forum a lot... now since we\'ve heard from a mod, let\'s let this petition spill into the hands of an administrator...
-
yeah I must agree, it would cleen up the main forum alot, and if someone does post some thing about anothert system in the main forum them sim ply delete it and tell the guy it belongs in the other part of the forum!
-
and I just noticed that I hit 200 posts, and yet I\'m still am member, is there a reason for this, or should I just shut up and be patient?!?!?!?!?
-
yes, you will be a "senior member" at 300 posts.
-
Isn\'t that what the off-topic and console debating forums are for? To discuss X-Box, Gamecube..etc. stuff.......anyways you have my vote to make a new forum.

15:1 it is. Administrators...give the people what they want. :)
-
I think this thread is going to get closed soon. The pressure is growing on mods and admins here.
I voted on to Jumpman just for curiosity; I think it should be tested. If the forums take the course Ddaryl foretold, then they could be deleted.
But if that\'d mean another few weeks of these forums off-line you can count me out.
-
You keep writing that it\'s 12:1, 14:1, 15:1.. Who is this one? I\'ve noticed several people say that it\'s not going to happen and why bother etc...
We already have a couple other forums that people don\'t use. Don\'t we have a debate forum and another console forum? What we need is better moderators to delete, close, and move X Box threads, etc... This is a PS2 board. If it were an all console board it would be called Daily Radar or IGN..
I don\'t mind the idea and I have mentioned on several occasions that instead of having a forum labeled main, he needs to split it up into PS2 games, PS2 hardware, and Other console debating.
Yawn...
-
Better moderators? I think ddaryl for instance is doing a great job as a moderator, but I think aaron posts way too seldomly.
SG and mm do a GREAT job as admins as they clear up all the serious sh!t messing this great forum of ours.
Without them we wouldn\'t have such a clean and good forum as we do now.
-
i would be a good moderator. no, really.
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

You mention forums that no one uses but you suggest a Games/Hardware/Other forum?!?!
We should have a new forum because not everyone is trying to start a debate when they post some gaming news. If I were to post a thread like "Shigeru Miyamoto Interview. pt1" I am not looking to argue with someone about what he said I just want to show to people that have not already seen it. We should at least give it a try. We had the private forums and they folded. Whats the harm of trying something new. If anything I say we get rid of the Rants forum and replace it.
BTW, The mods are doing an excellent job. Its just that there has been an influx of fanboys lately.
-
Gohan, you are saying the exact same thing I am. Have a forum for games, a forum for system, and then an other console forum for people who want to debate crap.
And as far as Mods patrolling this place, you very rarely see threads locked. There was one day when 7 of the first ten threads were XBox. I agree they are around, but they just aren\'t as strict about off topic threads as they should be. If they would just move XBox threads to the other consoles section whenever they see one people will finally get the hint that this is a PS2 board. I\'m not saying they are doing a bod job at all, I\'m just saying there could be some more killing and moving..
-
SoulGrind for example moves threads alot from main forum to off-topic. Or to debate. Or vise-versa, and I gotta say he\'s doing very good job there.
And these admins of ours are quite different than the usual admins. They humiliate, they don\'t ban so easily.
-
Yeah, I just saw SoulGrind\'s post a sec ago about going off topic. I think that\'s great. I hope they keep it up.
-
I wonder what SoulGrind thinks of this idea...
(hey SoulGrind,in case you didn\'t realize it yet but I\'m hinting you to give your opinion on this)
I think everyone would argee that giving it a shot wouldn\'t hurt.
-
actually i don\'t care about the mindless posts by the fanatic trolls for other consoles in the main forum,it\'s fun to see them vent their foolish frustrations and get slammed by us members in revenge :D no matter what you do,this forum is where it happens and any other ones will be used on a limited basis,but i don\'t care either way in the end,however Bjorn wants it,is how i agree to it
-
I trust to Bjorn\'s vision of this forum completely.
If Bjorn says, and he only has to say once, that the idea will not be accomplished, then I\'ll surely agree. I\'m not arse-kissing but hey, I don\'t run this site :)
And I don\'t want these forums be down for another day so it could hurt us, the experiment, jumpman. But if Bjorn says "Lets try" then I\'m into it as well.
-
I don\'t think it would happen. Bjorn wouldn\'t like it all that much. Main reason why. Because it takes away the idea of what is PSX2central. The site is based only on ps2. Having other console would be a waste of time. The base of people coming here are PS2 fans.
There would just be a lot of flaming. That\'s why we gave the Console debate forum. So people could debate what they like/hate etc.
Eg. Look at the gamerweb forums. It was mostly SEGA based. Then they added in more forums. Not much happen in these forums. I don\'t really care if there was another console forum. But i doubt bjorn would want it.
-

How the hell could that happen? Simply change the name of Conole debating to "Other Consoles",problem solved.
And like I said before,it wouldn\'t hurt to try.

Would you shut up? We already heard your opinion more than once,I can see you really don\'t want this to happen,but you don\'t have to post more than once to get your ****ing message through.
Off-Topic? Bah!

So it\'s not happening???....ah well. It was all a part of my master plan to become a mod!(j/k)
BTW-do you guys know that ho3j is an administrator at MSXBOX? So...I guess the final poll stands at 15:0. :laughing:
-
yeah, Ho3j doesn\'t like me when I go there, but whenever he comes here, I look superior! So he can take that bad attitude back to MSXBOX forums where he can use it!
-
LOL! I\'m thinking about posting there now,I mean, there are no smart people who can\'t keep up a good argument. I\'d be pratically invincible!
Seriously,some of those members deserve to be shot for their " dumbness"!
-
yea i noticed that - they need to get better at put dons they suck really bad it
kinda like that one guy did to that axl guy - i ema you just gotta make em feel that hate you have for them instead of making them laugh at you
the putdowns at msxbox are more funny than angering
-
Ok, Soulgrind nailed us all :)
Very good answer. Thread dies. It won\'t happen. Sorry.
-
Ho3j isn\'t bias. I talk to him through icq.. As well as Nate. Don\'t go to Msxbox forums in the hope of starting a forum war. I don\'t want it here. He doeesn\'t want it there. It\'s lame and plain stupid.
