  1. Wow, what a thread. Just read it from beginning to end. :P

     

    A few points I'd like to leave in this thread ...

     

    1) Internet flame wars go no where. If you think you can change someones beliefs and actions by a piece of text, you are surely mistaken. It takes more than you can imagine to change the root of a tree.

     

    2) I'm definitely surprised by Drake's (aka AkihiroZi) inflammatory remarks. I'll agree that they were a bit uncalled for and maybe Gouken did instigate the negative response (perhaps unintentionally). Nevertheless, we all must be kind to each other here and remain in control of our emotions.

     

    3) This is 1Emulation, not just any community, but one that has a family of active members that have known each other for a long time. We have mostly always treated each other with respect and we should lead by example to our new and returned members. We know better than that. And yes, we have class.

     

    4) One word: Respect.

     

    Ummmm No

    I strongly disagree. If you compare us to any other forums that you may visit, you will find that 1Emulation is very limited when it comes to flame wars, etc. Sure, there have been the occasional religious/political disagreements, but nothing even comes close to what I have seen on other sites.

     

    Either way, your 2 word response should at least have some background behind it, before you double post. :rolleyes:

    Actually, 1Emulation is considered DEAD if nobody is posting, and the only times this site sees large amounts of activity, is during these flame wars. 1Emu "Constructive Debates" are kept at a bare minimum.

     

    Sure there are other websites that have worst scenarios, but in a community like this one where weve all been around each other for a long time, you'd think it'd be ok to say "I Like PS3 because of XYZ" or at least be able to Post News about the PS3. Look at what you guys had to do to Blacknight. JKKDARK isnt allowed in Spam because most of those threads turned into flame wars as well. An now that its "Toned down" a bit, site activity drops as well aside from Roberts news.

     

    "Ummmm No" - Reasoning for keeping it so short; i believed the forums spoke for themselves unless everyone is blind.

    So do you suggest these "flame wars" to run on until the flame goes out? Do you suggest that we should not intervene and let people eat each other for the sake of increasing forum activity?

     

    The problem is that right now everyone desires entertainment on 1Emulation and they're not getting enough of it. It seems to me that you would rather watch people insult each other for the sake of your own intellectual well being. At the cost of what? We have lost members in the past due to disagreements. And sure we may just as well lose them if we need to de-staff or warn them. Sometimes we have to stop it before it gets out of control and even then you'd wish you never wasted your time in the first place. :)

    I Dont see where i said i WANT these flame wars to continue, im just stating the fact that these flame wars are in fact the majority of the activity on 1Emu. And even if they arent the majority, theres just too much going on.

    Well, it sounded like you were upset that we demodded BK and we banned JKKDark from spam. If that is the case, then most likely you did want those flame wars to continue, which would have never made those aforementioned responses to happen. :rolleyes:

    No No NO, i could really care less about them, but i was just showing you how powerful these flame wars have gotten and those were two examples of "Casualties xD" caused by them

  4. I can't really see the need for wifi on a console unless a wired connection isn't really an option.

     

    I know some people don't have any problems with their wifi, yet I've had some bad experiences with it dealing with online games. If wifi came with the 360 that'd be great, but since a wired connection is preferred by most then i don't really see the need.

     

    I also don't really care if MGS4 is being ported over or not. I want to play the game and all, so i'll just find someone with a ps3.

     

    For me, the PS3 has to use a wireless connection as routers seem to not like my connection very much. In order to play Xbox, i have to switch the wire from my computer to my Xbox.

     

    350 + 100 = 450

    Thats with the Wireless adapter

     

    450 + 50 = 500

    Thats Xbox Live if you decide to go for the year, comes out to more if you dont.

     

    500 + 20 = 520

    Play and charge kit

     

    So it really Balances out according to price. Upgrading Hard drives will cost you more, and so will Xbox Live every year. So it comes out even more expensive.

     

    But they did it in a way that by the time you realized that youve spent all that money, it wont matter because you didnt spend it all at one time.

     

    Xbox Live is the Nail on the coffin tho

  6. I still think the "PS3 has no games" Argument is dumb.

     

    The only reason the PS3 is on a down slope is because its online capabilities just isnt as fun and as easy as xbox live. I Have Call of Duty 4 on both systems and they are exactly identical, but the Xbox live makes me want to play the 360 version more often (Even tho there are better players on PSN)

     

    360 only has a few BIG titles over PS3 as PS3 over 360. You have your Halos and gears and Fables, but then u got ur God of wars, uncharteds and Ratchet and clanks. It really does come down to Xbox Live vs PSN and if you have more friends that have said system.

  7. For the Video card, i found a good Deal on this 8800GS
