A History Of System Wars.

[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"][QUOTE="DXGreat1_HGL"] What is GUFU?Verge_6

Again, que es?

it's a Union on the Gamespot website.  Do you not know what a Union is?  It's like a user-created subforum for whatever topics the user-created forum was made to discuss.  there are NBA subforums, political subforums, religious subforums, etc. etc. etc.  they're called "unions" here. 

[QUOTE="JPOBS"]

[QUOTE="CJL13"]You need to talk about the formation of GUFU.Blackbond

tell us what you know and i'll edit later, im out for now.

So you personally think something is the dumbest thing ever yet you say you know nothing about it? Oh wow that's logic for ya right there :roll:

Anyways GUFU shouldn't be done in System Wars history and yes this is coming from me. We haven't done enough yet or have been around long enough. Had the Mods not cracked down on the hijackings then yes I would say yes.

But seriously to say something is the dumbest thing ever and then say that you don't know much about it? Oh wow lol 

Nevermind but whats BTW.

someone needs to write a chapter on The Days of The Draconian Moderators. Days that are lessened today, but were particularly hostile towards SW posters from September '05 - November '06 (or thereabouts).

Unwarranted suspensions, no universal enforcement of anything and our best posters getting suspended for long periods (or perma-banned) because of stupid *hit. It was the time when GameSpot endorsed its own posters RATTING OUT other posters by giving "points" for turning in someone for moderation (horrible idea in every single possible way).

Whether it was by their own personal desire, bias or if their hand was being forced by others higher in the food chain, SW was scared to even talk, for fear of reprisal. 

yes, there should be a book for that. :|

System Wars was most certainly covered with the blood of posters, good and bad between 2005 and the end of 2006. Killed off by the powers that be. Many of them were the guys that kept the forum light, funny and entertaining. SW became pretty pathetic after that.

Basically it's a union for manticores and non-bashers to talk about games, the world, and other stuff. Kind of a mix between System Wars, General Games Discussion, and Off-Topic Discussion.

Exactly. That's one thing I always hated about GS. They ban great posters but people like PS3_FTW, Supercharged and others can make topic after topic and not even be moderated or have any penatlies. I'm not saying that PS3_FTW or Supercharged are stupid or are not intelligent but seriously blatent stupidity should be a moderation. 

[QUOTE="Infernal246"]

And they completely slaughtered UCBs. :(

Dreams-Visions

wait...they're all gone now? :shock:

Nope, but since the Unions came in, where any member could pretty much make one, User Created Boards just died. :( 

Creation of SW2 was because of the banning of Off Topic conversation in System Wars.

It was shortly after my spam thread called "Official Thread" got floated in System Wars and went far into the thousands of posts. Members in the Off-Topic forum then created a thread complaining about there being Off-Topic discussion in System Wars and it pretty much just turned into a flame war.

System Wars then instituted the rules of there only being allowed 3 or so Off-Topic threads on the front page at one time - this broke down after a while and they were banned completely.

 Hence the creation of System Wars 2.

 This a little after the time that SW had elections for a forum king and so on.

I dont think you metioned yo_foo or gingerdivid. I mean ginger is a lengend, he was a huge cow, then sheep, then cow again. they had there own union!

Http://forums.gamespot.com to see the best of the system wars :D 

I enjoyed reading this topic.

good job.

Other than Ladsaber...i don't quite remember anyone else.He was a causality of war.

Ladsaber was a dude that tried to keep the GS PSP forum entertaining.Not someone really memorable but his ban was unnecessary.Also a lot of Nintendo fanboys,some of them annoying.Other than that nop nothing oh yeah a PSP hater that i guess that was banned or got a PSP.

Someone get this stickied, it was a good read and I never thought system wars had such a history. I've only been here since maybe the beginning of 2006 and I feel like I missed a lot :(LoeJance

I've been here for about three weeks, so imagine how I feel. I feel like all that time at IGN wasted...
