I'm sorry that this decision affects some members as you, who always acted in a correct and mature way. But if I re-open the forum, I'd have to bad 5 or 6 members (not telling here the names, also because they are mambers I used to consider mature enough to start a peaceful discussion) because of their really stupid and childish way of acting, or they would go on with "This thing sucks" posts and so on. I'm tired of receiving requests to ban people from other members who acted in a bad way as the ones they want to be banned.
Console wars are so pointless, and the worst thing is that they're not understanding the reason we opened that forum was to make "clever" comparisons regarding consoles and games of the various consoles, not to read everyday stuff like "you're an idiot because you buy this console instead of the other one".
The only thing I can suggest, is to post stuff regarding games like GC ones in other forums like Action/Adventure, RPG and so on.
At least in those places there won't be the opportunity to start new consoles wars
