Good.

And another thing: Console wars exist, I'm not telling they don't have to exist, but considering they cause continuous offences and arguements, I won't accept them anymore here. You can cry, pray and swear they won't happen again, but I'm not letting you do whatever you want here, ok?

We, or at least I, am not asking to have free reign anywhere. The point is that this was out of the blue for many people. You gave no indication of annoyance, or even posted an "Everybody shaddap" message in the Other Consoles forum, you just closed it and in effect are giving the finger to everyone who was either shaping up or wasn't a problem in the first place.

I'm not questioning your freedom of speech, but it seems some members here don't quite uderstand the difference between serious and peaceful discussion and flaming others.
You're free to disagree with my decision (and it's also the decision of the other administrators). You just have to consider that closing one of the most visited forums of the site is not a popular choice and not even the right choice to attract more visitors, but I don't want this situation to go on.

Okay, are you talking to me or Funky? He was the one talking all that about freedom of speech.

And from what I've read in some of your posts, you're not even interested in behaving in a different way from now on to make me reconsider my decision.

Again, are you talking to me or Funky? You put a direct reply to my post in here so I'm guessing you are talking to me. If you HAD read my posts (latest ones) then you would have seen that I was a) Warming up more to Xbox games despite negative opinions about the console, and b) saying that I just was not going to post on that forum any more.
What else, Fortune, do you think I need to do to "behave in a different way" to make you reconsider my decision? Leave the site altogether?
