According to year-end figures provided by Nielsen, it appears that the Sony PlayStation 2 remains the most played video game console, by far. In fact, in terms of "overall usage minutes", the PS2 accounted for just under 32 percent of the total.
Following in the list was the Microsoft Xbox 360 at 17.2 percent and the Nintendo Wii at 13.4 percent. The PlayStation 3 improved to 7.3 percent ... [ read the full article ]

I agree, but there are some key issues missing here...no PM's where sent and it became a personal thing towards me over anything else (amongst other points). As well as there where gaming discussions going on along with certain remarks.

What brought on this statement? I could be blind,actaully im betting on it but i didnt see what started the convo in this direction. Again im genuinely asking not stirring the pot. Ive learned the hard way so i take the extra step to not leave doubts about my demeanor.
No offence yes Mods are members just like us all but unlike us all they have power and sometimes they conversate or communicate their views in an argumentative manner and then get heated when an arugment insues. And Since they have the power they should have to have higher expectations of how they conduct themselves.If this was all about us asking about the post count relation to member status i find it a little strange that this particular conversation was cut so short and the religon debate started in another thread i wont mention ran for 30 plus posts. Lets pick our battles wisely and if thats the case this was sure a STRANGE decision.Sometimes its better this is out in the open for all to see instead of things being swept under the carpet in a P.M

Both ways are equally ineffective from my experience
My opinion is this; effictiveness aside why should a thread be somewhat polluted by banter. I personally think handling it the way LOCOENG stated would be the appropriate course of action.
I can see where your coming from BUT effectiveness is hella important and should never be taken out of the equation. And why does banter have to be bad? Theres too much of this lack of communication with this world. I agree childish insult flinging thats not done tastefully is no good for forums. But if you got one guy calling another cluesless and uniformed and the other person comes back with correct information and lays it out beautifully and slaps a "take that sh!tter" somewhere in there i dont see the need for grown men and women in a Electronics forum to get their panties in a bunch.Just my humble opinion for what its worth. Trash talking can help elevate the atmosphere and raise the bar in competition and if handled right at times in discussions can turn into debates which are healthy and COMPETITIVE!But yes the childish little bickering here and there is obnoxious and generally you can gather the age of the participants by reading their posts...END RANT
meh, Playstation 2 did some amazing things...this however is not one of them and need not be discussed to this level hence people have went off topic.CLOSE THE THREAD PLEASE
P.S 25 consecutive posts not directly realting to topic should serve as a hint. minue my posts and its still atleast 17 posts off topic.
