Hear me out,

For the first time in years I went to System Wars...it changed a lot and I didn't see any familiar faces...I think all of them were banned and came here.  LOL

Do you think it's a good idea if Giant Bomb had it's own System Wars area where people could pose as hardcore fanboys?  There were a lot of absurdly funny moments in the old days of SW and looking back, it was fun reading all the stupid posts.  With GBSW, we could have less rules...and be more free with images and whatnot.

I just wanna know your opinions.  Again, I just went to SW today for the first time...and it brought back memories.   The HYPE THREADS, Casey, Thug-Pikachu, etc...

I don't think so, it just promotes fighting.

I actually think it would be kinda cool but, I think to many people would just spam '360 OWNZ AND PS3 SUKZ" or something like that.

I'd rather not encourage that kind of mentality.

I liked reading some of the dumb stuff posted on it, so sure why not, as long as it doesn't leak out into the other boards.

No, I do think we should have one singular thread labeled "politics." And another one for "Religion." and leave those topics off the boards as much as we can.

Part of what makes GB so great is the lack of hardcore stupid fanboys, we don't want to ruin that.

I think most refugees of Gamespot and other forums on Giant Bomb realize that "System Wars" type threads, forums, and discussions serve no one's interest. The best thing about Gamespot's System Wars (back when I frequented it) was the up-to-the-minute leaks, news, and rumors. You can get that without the vitriol.

Agreed, the moment you like a particular system so much that you belittle others... well then the terrorists have won.

Bring back the comment rating system! I'd rather use that than bump this idea.

Only if we're allowed to send Jeff death threats if he flops a game, preferably a Zelda one.

After all the death threats the sheep finally acknowledged that Twilight Princess really was just a rehash. Same here I looked forward to it and got to the water temple and gave up out of sheer boredom.

Ah Twilight Princess, the one game you were afraid to tell non-gamers that you played.

--Hey have you played twilight princess?
--What?
--Twilight Princess
--...Dude, what the hell is that like a barbie game?

No. System Wars contribute absolutely nothing but a bunch of sweaty pre-teen fanboys bitching and complaining about which video game console is better.

abso-fucking-lutely not.

all that would do is generate redonk amounts of FLAMING by mindless fanboys. but if that's honestly what you're looking for in a forum, i believe gamespot is still open for business.

No.  And the fanboy rants and rediculousness is not entertaining, only annoying and oh so tiresome.  One of the great things about this site is the virtual lack of that shit.

I think they exist already, but you have to find and fight your own battles. It's Giantbomb... watch the forums blowup... crap you missed it.

Hell yes!  I am in total agreement that we should trap all of SmugDarkLoser's posts into a single forum.
