ORIGINAL: Skerj Suppressing fire!! *pop* *pop* *pop* Dude the same **** happened last year except it was the 360 folks on the rampage and you guys ALL know that. The only ones in low numbers here are Wii purists. I don't remember news being abused. Comments were about the same, almost as bad as Sony fanboys. But I don't remember news ever being abused like Sony fanboys do. Or Xbots subbmiting stories harassing felllow members....and it getting approved. Off the top of my head there was that awesome exchange between Bloodmask and Dirtysouf, but there were more examples none of which I feel like digging for but just go back like 200-300 something days and you'll see. Pretty much every positive story was flooded with the usual suspects spouting the same **** and cliche'd insults. Much like now, just the opposite side has increased in numbers. I'm not condoning it because both sides are just as bad, I'm just saying it's not entirely unwarranted. Besides N4G wouldn't even exist if it weren't the the fanboys, the contributors who post sensationalistic stories know what they're doing. It's just for the degrees, and if it's "controversial" enough it will get them in droves, which in turn gets the monies. I can look at the title of an article and see that it's gonna be trouble from the front pages, if I really want to know what was discussed then I'll just view source from there without even seeing the comments and move on. It's sad too because there are a ton of awesome and intelligent articles that get passed over because Cliffy B said something about MGS4. It's an N4G thing and that's not going to change because that's how the site works.
