The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Fasting Selling Console Ever My @$$.

...said thy who's apparently never looked at a list of merchandise for the PS/PS2/PS3 games. Believe me, I work at a job where millions of video games literally go through my fingers every day, I know what I'm talking about here.

Perhaps you misunderstood me. I said that I don't think the company thinks they absolutely need to add gallons of blood. But I never did say that some PS games weren't like that. I've looked through all the PS2 games in my videostore in town, and a lot of them are indeed M rated for blood.

I didn't meanit offensively. Forgive me, I'm often overly blunt and gruff in everything I say. Its a nasty habit I've never overcome, but anyway:

I think that PS makers do think they need their PS games vulgar, because vulgarity sells, bigtime, unfortunately. And it seems like they've latched onto that fact solidly. Generally, I find it harder to a find a clean, or at least, cleaner, PS or X-Box game than it is to find a M-Rated one. I'm not saying they're not out there, I've bought my little brother a "Land Before Time" PS game, actually.

I wasn't mad. I just felt my last statement confused you, that's all.

That I do have to agree with you on. It is true that there aren't too many E rated games, at least from what I've seen, for the PS. A lot of them are T or M.

Oh, sorry. I'll be sure to be more clear, then.

Well, I don't mind T-Rated games, myself, because that still shows a level of restriant of the 'maker's part. I like a few M-Rated games, but generally, they just go overboard with M-Rated stuff.

On the subject of the new systems, I found this article talking about Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, and X-Box 360.
