I wanna go there and Laugh at all the idiotic Fanboys like i used to in the old GS days
Here, ill start off with some Baits -
So, Wheres the SYSTEM WARS board??
System Wars is entertaining but ultimately the dumbest forum. Its created to insight arguments and fighting. And THEN you get modded for arguing and fighting. Its the most hypocritical thing about gamespot. I'd prefer to see a world without system wars. Let people ENJOY gaming not enjoy flaming.

Please please, no system wars. Why can't we all agree that games are good and we all love games? Instead of pointless bantering and arguing about what system is the best and all that. Everything can be discussed civilized in some general board, we don't need a board specifically for pointless arguing and just people laying around flame baits and stuff like that. Let's just all be intelligent and friends, okay? :)
You're joking right....
System Wars are like mentally handicapped house pets, and need to be taken to a nice quiet farm upstate, if you know what I mean. All major platforms have serious flaws, and if you think one of them is in it for anything before they are for the money, you're a fool.
By the way, if those are your image chops, they're horrendous. Image editors are readily available as freeware, there's no need to ever open Microsoft Paint again.
"Joe said:If we had separate forums for different platforms then your more likely to get people starting flame wars but hopefully Giant Bomb will have a much more mature community and we wont get all the stupid litlle 12 year olds who think that there console is the greatest thing ever built"We dont want a system wars this is Giant Bomb not Gamespot"well i don't think we need a system wars we certainly do need more then just general discussion for main forums.

system wars is just so terrible, the amount of hyperbole and exxageration on even the smallest slump in slaes figures or a review score makes me want to puke.
The gratuotous use of animated GIF's and 3 word statements which have no effect on discussion is why i dont wnat to see a dedicated system wars board, you can go to neogaf and just wallow in the most obnoxious discussions on the internet.
"I think this place would be better w/o one."I couldn't agree more with this statement. We'll be better off without it
Regardless of the good intentions existing just now......petty fighting will inevitably break out......and no-one will be able to resist.
While the sentiment seems to be that we can do without a system wars-like forum, the problem is that eventually this site will attract users that want to spread the religion of a certain platform. So where will those users go? Do we allow them to spread their absurdities in the regular forums?
Do NOT want.
System wars is simply another ploy by gamespot to keep people coming back and posting - hence the smooth flow of profit from ad clicks and revenue. It's nothing more than giving a toy, but hitting him because he chewed it up. No system wars...
thats why that one guy created that website dedicated to systemwars.
We need something. just having this one main board is going to be a little annoyng.
they should have a general discussion board, 360 board, PS3 board, Wii board, portable systems board, fanboy board.
It wuld help as sometimes I want to ask questions that only owners of certain systems will know the awnser to.
You guys are being too serious. System Wars was a big running joke. A lot of the mods would occasionally get into it even. System Wars was only a terrible place to be if you took it seriously, or posted there in 2001 when it was unmoderated. The real problem was the people who took it seriously, and eventually went crazy and suicided with a multi hour long porn fest. More than once I deleted five pages plus of threads. (I believe it's where I met a Mr. Goatse, strange chap, that one) Man, that batch processing was a godsend.
"I tend to think that giving the fanboys there own 'special place' to flame-away at each other, could be a good thing. Might keep it out of the regular forums?"This is what you THINK would happen right? But in actuality System wars INVITES fanboy behaviour. If you establish an environment where its not tolerated you will get LESS of it. Create it and you're practically putting up a sign for idiots to come to dumb town. Keep it off the map and you won't get that kind of traffic.

Aye, I'll give it a few days, although I don't think I'll want to participate.
