GH Moderation: The concept of "Home Turf"


Recommended Posts

I don't agree. I would almost go as far to say that it defies alot of the points of the forums. If people wanted 100% positive talk and no debation between systems they can visit console specific forums. Were will you draw the line between ok criticism and trolling? Because at the moment your not allowed to troll anyway so I don't see the point on making it anymore stricter.

As the owner of 3 consoles and 2 handhelds, It's really intetesting seeing some discussions unfold from the outside. I mean, it's pretty obvious when someone tries to troll, even when it's just mild or silent trolling. It's also pretty obvious when someone is just raising a legitimate discussion. And it's obvious when people are jokingly taking stabs with good clean fun. I just find it funny when people are too sensitive with a specific platform. Or when someone tries to troll and gets super defensive if someone calls them out on it.

When it comes down to it, we're really all just talking on an internet messageboard (which has more order than 99% of other boards) talking about products made by companies that make billions of dollars that have very little or no relation to us. Even if any if us are employed by said companies.

I guess what I'm saying is, let's grow a pair, get over it, and move on.

Every mod won't know whos alliance falls where, however we all communicate alot and consider things like warnings before hand. At the end of the day we don't want members to troll/flamebait but we do want intelligent discussions going on in GH. Your Sony fans don't tend to have much of a hatred towards each other as towards a member from the Microsoft camp coming along and flaming. That is when the problems arise and we will moderate it carefully. Trust us :)

If you guys really think this is going to work... then okay, I'll trust you all. Good luck with it! :)

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
