Fanboys alter Nintendo Wiki

I was on Gametrailers and came across this thread.

http://forums.gametrailers.com/showthread.php?t=43637

Yikes. This is going to be on heck of a console war, fanboys are taking it more personal then ever now.

If you ask me, this was done in an act of desperation.

Enh. I've seen the same thing happen to articles on Playstation 3, XBox 360, LOST, and Christianity. I guess that's what happens when anyone can edit something.

Re: Fanboys alter Nintendo Wiki

I am a fan of free speech.
people are free to say these things, and everyone else is equally free to say how much of a moron someone is for saying something like that!

Actually, nobody really needs to say anything along the lines os "this person is a moron" as his (her?) message speaks for itself volumes about what kind of person this is

Re: Fanboys alter Nintendo Wiki

After the PS3 controller was announced, Nintendo fanboys did the same thing (repeatedly) to the PS3 page. It happens.

Re: Fanboys alter Nintendo Wiki

As long as the administrators can fix it; I see no problem. There'll always be ignorant (Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft) fanboys who do stupid things. This comes as no surprise to me.

That's why they have mods. But hey, you will have ingorant fools who will ruin everything for those who wish to post something on Wiki.

The Super Smash Bros Brawl edit tools are locked as well and are limted to members of Wikipedia. This just proves that fanboys/girls are just little teenage nerds with no lives.

Re: Fanboys alter Nintendo Wiki

And the interesting fact is that the more people discuss about these things, the happier these morons get. They want attention and popularity for what they have done. Sure, they got no life, but they also got your attention. So in the end, they've won.

Personally, I don't really care either way. They edited something, whoohoo, good for them.

Re: Fanboys alter Nintendo Wiki

I was looking at the PS3 wiki page it it was closed for editing. Apparently some Nintendo fanboys were editing it say "The PS3 sucks! Buy a Nintendo Wii!". Wow, this is going to be a personal console war.

Yeah, but I bet the admins can fix it. When Wikipedia was created, they probably expected stuff like this. It's happened in the past, and they fixed it.

Re: Fanboys alter Nintendo Wiki

Haha. Silly fanboys. All jealous because Nintendo is better than they are.

Yes, I know. Don't even bother making yourself look foolish by pointing it out.

Re: Fanboys alter Nintendo Wiki

It happens every time new consoles come out, everyone should expect it now.

Fanboys will be fanboys...

Although you would think Wiki would have protected those pages before this would happen, because like many others, they should have expected this to happen.
