Goodbye Posters

[G-force]

I'm tempted to lock this for several reasons. People are latching onto the communism topic, one which is not allowed. And also because there are far, fr, far too many "I'm leaving" threads No offense, but just leave. Stop drawing attention to yourself and blame others because you got bored, or didn't make any friends. Can we perhaps make this a new rule? No more leaving threads?! Pleeeaaase?

Another day, another I'm leaving topic...

So this site turns out to be less of a paridice I once thought it was. I joined thinking that I would see a ton of hardware mods that would shatter all concepts of thinking when it comes to videogame systems. And I did, for the first few weeks untill I really started to notice the problems with this site. It seems members with astronomicly high post counts seem to lead the bandwagon around here. Whenever a new person joins it seems his entire reputation depends on how the suprime members like him, regardless of who he was or his intellegence. Another problem seems to be the "perfect" identity so many members around here try to have, especially in debates. Example: Nintendo Vs. Sony Vs. Microsoft Vs. Sega fanboys. I know at least 75% of you have a favorite company but whenever such a situation comes up 75% of you say it is stupid to have a favorite company, making the last 25% of honest posters look like idiots!

But there are sparkling parts to this forum that seem to outshine the rest. The "noobs" that join these forums are immediatly noticed and ridiculed, while the "newbs" are intelligent people that join the forum looking for serious conversation with other intelligent people.

I don't know what kind of reputation I am sporting right now but I can tell you one thing about my short blip of an existance on these forums. I was perfectly honest about everything I said and I presented all of my own opinions wether I thought they would make me look good or not. I'm 14. I have never finished a portable, I'm a Sega fanboy, and I beleive in communism as a viable form of government. Do I care that many of the people on this site don't agree? No. But it's apperent to me that most of the other members do care and are completly silent to their own opinion just so they can be seen in positive light. The best summery of my problem here is that the conversations are as dull as can be because the members with sub 1000 posts are terrified to show their own opinion.

I might return once in a while to post in a real conversation but for the most part you won't see much of me anymore.

Well, I've never been pushed around by taller (high post count or older) members and I haven't witnessed it yet, but maybe I'm just a minority.
