I will add this to the rules for this forum as well.
Platform wars are dumb. There are plenty of games for all the platforms and each platform has its own good and bad games. There is no reason to argue about which one is better or worse. It's just flame bait.
What is a platform? PC, Mac, XBOX, Wii, PS3, Nintendo DS etc. Anything you can play a game ON is a platform.
What is not allowed? platformA > platformB platformA vs. platformB
What is allowed? Discussions about games on a platform or what is good or bad about that particular platform. Example: What's the best platofrmA game? Example: PlatformB needs to improve their processors for the next console Example: Is platformA dead?
[2-week sticky. Replies allowed for discussion of the rule.] |

I agree, but
Is talking about older consoles vs newer consoles of the same brand allowed? Example: Is PS2 better than the original PlayStation? |

| I think comparing the same brand is ok. It's the same company and not likely to devolve into flames. |

"The "this vs that" threads, of course. Isn't it already part of the rules?" I think they felt like they needed to say it again. o3o
But i can't stand console/pc wars.

Thank ye for making this rule.
It was so annoying seeing 20+ threads about "LOL PS3 OR XBOX ASDF" |

Thanks for making this rules, it will help decrease the volume of spam.
By the way, I think you made a typo. "Example: What's the best platofrmA game?" I do believe you meant "PlatformA"? Other than that, great and thanks. |

It's not really the amount of threads that was the problem though. It's how big they got that made them spiral into flames. |

@IronMan
"I'm thinking of getting a new console, can you please vote which I should get, PS3 or Xbox. Please only reply with PS3 or Xbox360, no justifying, just a vote."
That would be a decent way of asking. |

Then we ignore you, and only listen to people who have followed the orders of the thread. No more questions from you now. |
