Sony's and Nineties listen up, stop putting the Xbox down, stop posting sales rubbish, stop saying anything bad about the Xbox and stop it right now. Everyone in this forum is sick of this rubbish and I have had it up to my head with the non-sense that is posted in here daily. Just stop all of your rubbish, you won't find any in your forums from us in here, so why should we?

I am sick of posts entitled:

'Xbox Sucks'
'Recent Sales Figures Show...'
'The Problem With The Xbox is...'
'No good games'
'Crashing again on My Xbox'

Which console never crashes? There isn't one. When I had my PS2 it crashed 7 times in under 6 months, I have had my Xbox 10 weeks and it is yet to crash, but when it does I will just turn off the console and start again from my last save.

No good games? Oh please, I won't give you my list but I will just say this to you, I have never owned a console where I have wanted so many games but by the end of this year there are 50 Xbox titles which I desperatley want to own and that is saying something!

Today I challenged someone who was analysing the release calendar and saying that most of the 50 games were rubbish, average or not worth playing, how the hell would anyone knoe how good a game is without even playing it? Or reading a review on it?

I am not saying stop posting as there are some sensible posters that own more than the one console and have intelligent views to share who have valid points to share with us. Everyone in this forum is sick and tired of reading about how bad the Xbox apparently is. Even if the argument is balanced I think we have seen enough of the Xbox being put down.

Lets just see an end to this pointless topic and lets just enjoy what we own, at the end of the day people will only dislike you for it. There are some really nice people to talk to in here that know what they are talking about but everything is always disrupted by yet another 'Xbox is bad topic'. OK you don't like the Xbox, BIG DEAL, I am not keen on the GC but I stay well away from there but I hope they enjoy what games they have on offer.

If you have got something bad to say about the Xbox why not just keep it to yourself as by now we have heard everything that can be possibly said to put this console down and we are now all absolutley sick of it. There is nothing new to say about the console that has not already been said and argued about immensly.

I like to come on here and discuss the console I own, yes the Xbox! Just like others want to discuss there console/s on here but seem to stay away from the one they don't like, so why don't you?

Please stop posting topics against the Xbox in here as it is depressing me greatly and I am sick and tired of reading bad things about the console I like. If you have somehting positive to say then great please share it but just stop with putting the console down, we have suffered enough and most of it is utter rubbish and un-true but it still annoys me immensly. Please stop what you are doing and let us live our lives. We set an example in the Xbox forum and we usually keep ourselves to ourselves but there are so many fanoys around from other forums that need to know the difference between jelousy and the truth.

I will say nothing more on the matter, just please please take what I am saying seriously as I am speaking on behalf of this whole forum and I hope I will have the backing from you too.

I just feel on behalf of the Xbox, myself and you guys that something should be done about it. Maybe if we get enough replies and backing that we might be able to take it further, the idea of warnings and the threatening of a ban would help. SR might even delete the posts before we get annoyed, all these could work but I will need the backing of everyone in this forum.

I think SR should be a bit more strict. Start issuing warnings and the like to people who constantly post console dissing crap, and spam. I know what you mean though, there are literally tons of topics I can't be bothered with, simply because they are pointless and stupid.

Try to to let these people annoy you, because it really isn't worth it.

The people who put the xbox down generally put no effort into their posts, so why should you? I welcome PS2 and GC fans to come in this forum and have sensible conversations, but I agree that countless "Xbox suck coz I say so" topics do annoy.

Its not about sides but more people we get against it the better it is, with more influence in this forum I believe that we can get rid of a lot of these topics which plague our forum. It is time for things to change and there is no reason why it shouldn't be now!

I'm a newbie, but not a retarded fanboy. Can I come on your side (as it were) and rid these forums of the fanboy spamming scum that has infested it?

It wasn't aimed at you just everyone in general. Things like this just put the console down and give fanboys a chance to have a shot at us. Crashing isn't something new but I just want newbiews and fanboys to stop posting stuff like this. I need the backing from everyone to try and get an order in this forum.

I hope this bit wasn't aimed at me, as I posted a topic about my Xbox crashing quite a while back now.

I am not a ninty or a sonyphile or anything daft like that, I just posted that topic because it caught me by surprise that my Xbox had crashed. I wssn't angry at it, and I'm not dissing Xbox or anything like that. I know and expect Consoles to crash, I just posted that cos I was bored and wanted to know if anyone else had their Xbox crash on them.

If it wasn't aimed at me, forget everything I just said. ;-)
