[QUOTE="SolidTy"][QUOTE="The_Game21x"][QUOTE="SolidTy"] Although the names don't really make sense anymore, and we should rename everyone, it would be hard to do.
Besides, the only bad name is COWS, and it's not like this site has ever had enough Sony fans to fight off a name like that.
Lemming, and Sheep don't get all the horrible name calling like Cows being slaughtered, MOOO, Mad Cow Disease, Another Cow getting milked,etc.
The name Cow is just easy to make fun of, and it's going to stay for Sony fans, as they don't populate these forums all that much. Why not give the worst name to the minority?
IF we are talking about just the Being Milked factor, this gen it would be the 360, but who's to say what will be next gen. Eh.

Not to cause a needless confrontation but...
Were you even HERE during 2005 and early 2006? :?
Of Course I was. Although there were some really LOUD mouth cows, there weren't more of them than other factions. It was a very Warlike forum, but Cows never "Won". The threads usually ended in them looking like the fanboy's they were, with 0 credibility. I do remember an influx of me-too fanboy's that weren't really cows, but Bandwagon Jumpers that were seemingly in AWE of the PS3 before the price was announced (Massive FAKEBOYS ALSO, which have been banned and random IGN'ers) bashing on the 360. That being said, this site has Never really been a haven for the Sony Hardcores' It's just never worked out that way. I remember always coming to this sit, just to laugh at all the random comments made at Sony fanboy's expense.
You have to wonder, COWS? Who would want to be called a Cow? Cows didn't name themselves, that's for sure. The names are supposed to be a bit derogatory, but Cows was over the top bad. That there shows how much sway Cows have had here.
I've been here quite awhile, friend.
Being called a Lemming or Sheep is hardly flattering. Oh, definately> I said just as much right there *Underlines* and although they are not flattering, those names just aren't as bad, perhaps due to the variety of insults we've seen so far. How many different ways are Cows mocked vs. the word Lemming or Sheep? You don't see it in as many ways. Perhaps, that has something to do with how many Non-Sony fans are on this board, or maybe it's due to the name being very easy to mock. But it's amazing to see the diversity in mocking Cows. We've all seen it here, for all fanboy's, but the Cow Moniker really takes a beating, right? It can't just be me that's noticed all the differnent ways.
Don't get me wrong, Who really wants to be a hardcore nerd fanboy? Not many. My only point here is that the Cow name, at least as we have seen it here for years, gets mocked in a much larger variety of ways than the other faction's. You have to have noticed, right? That's okay mind you, that's what our community does, but that is a reality as well.
Either way, it's just something I've noticed here, like I've noticed all the system's get bashed, just not equally. That's just how it is,that's the site we are on, and it's all good.
In a better world, we gamers would be united arguing against Lawyers/Lobbyists/Misguided lawmakers who are trying to ruin our hobby.
