I'm officially leaving the forum, until all of this fanboy garbage cools down. This place was a haven from all that garbage, and now all there is here is a war between ps3 fanboys versus xbox 360 fanboys every single minute. It isn't bashing.. But calling peopole fanboys, making 10 articles about a review score for an exclusive, and other things have made this place as bad as the comment section of the regular site. I'm wondering how any of these new topics, are anything but fanboy junk. It is frusterating, seeing how this forum was once the best gaming news forum, to the worst in a mere couple of days..

The mods on this site are the purest form of garbage. They do everything wrong.

First toughNAME, now you.

The mods have a life too, you know? They can't all be on here at all times. It isn't even that bad, you just want to overreact to something.

it seems especially at the weekends there are less mods...as there are less members online too. But certain member seem to take advantage of that.

Maybe they need to make a solid schedule so certain mods cover certain time slots, becasue generally when the mods are on they do pretty good. So weekends are covered, however thats harder to do than it sounds being that people do have other things to do.

But yeah the mods have lives as well and i know some are doing preoccupied with more important things. As for the others...maybe the same is true.

And i will leave a message to some mods regarding some members that have been spamming the forums.

Yea i know the mods left or something but they could have allowed replacements. I'm not too bothered by it anyway. The mods when they were around did a pretty good job of keeping fanboy nonsense out. Even though every once in a while i got a perfectly good thread locked for no reason

There is always going to be garbage (fanboys, trolls etc) in a forum, why do you think that moderators exist?

Its all because of the new guys that joined the site these past few days that make up random crap because they think our site wants people to write stories for their site or random people bashing great games and great poeple...In a few days these idiots will be cleaned up

Don't forget Wii fanatics they have strengthened their ranks lately. Fact is the way the forums were could have never survived the influx of new members, this was destined to happen now N4G is just like any other gaming forum out there.

It used to be when a flamebait thread would pop up everyone that posted in the thread would tell the OP to STFU and GTFO now you get people taking the bait and other trolls supporting the OP.

I don't really blame the mods for the deterioration of the forums even though they could do better and need to work on their schedules cuz now every weekend and late nights are trollapalooza.

It's sad to see another decent member leaving the once great forums.

you seem hurt since toughNAME felt like he needed to leave.

you still have cochran or whatever, y'know.
because a site doesn't conform to your bias doesn't mean it's a bad site, it's just bad for your agenda.
icewake has surprisingly become less fanboyish lately and i respect him for that.

these forums have become more fanboyish...not nearly as bad as the mainsite though. I mean i go through some of those comments(sometimes for laughs though they mostly are annoying) and certian members are wayyyyy out there, and go wayyy too far(like people who spam the report section).

We do get fanboys for sure and spam...but not nearly as bad as the mainsite.

And it seems when the mods are on they do very well...its just maybe they need like a mod running nights or something lol. The problem is they probably have lives as well so they cant.

I mean if you had to mod all day...you prob would want to have a break. Imagine modding the main site and the forums....hectic.
