Mac vs PC

[Agnostic Bear]

Why do mods keep trying to stop them, it's futile, as long as there are mac users that will be defensive over comments about mac (and vice versa) there will always be mac vs pc arguments.

Mods should stop closing the threads and instead turn the argument into something constructive not just "DOHOHOHOHO PC SUX VISTA SUX OS X SUX MAC SUX (FOXCONN HARDWARE LOL)" etc etc.

And they certainly shouldn't be moderated by pc / mac fanbois, that's just stupid.

Opinions, questions?

Someone get me a Subway. Go.

oh also these posters should be banned they are not productive, they just waste bandwidth

[Jordy]

Just out of interest, could you post some links to threads that have been closed.

Quite a few smod's who happen to be frequent technology forum users are also Mac users and I think it'd be beautiful irony if it was them who were always closing them (Probably cause they'd lose haha)

[Wootzeh]

You troll the threads about apple. I'm sure most will agree.

This is gonna turn into an argument thread. :rolleyes:

best post so far

[Prof-Alex]

Threads should be closed if arguments get out of hand and people start swearing and insulting and stuff. Trying to stop people having this argument is pointless because people can't seem to accept that OS's have different strengths and weaknesses. So if you think a thread has been wrongly closed PM me or lAscend and we'll take a peek at it.

However obvious trollers will of course be infracted normally. There's a line between letting people have discussions and letting people turn every thread into a flamefest.

Mac for myself,
Basically I use my MacBook for Internet, Video, Video Production, Music and Photoshop. I am starting a Film and Television University Course in London after my Gap-Year so a mac was the obvious choice. But PCs are better for spread sheets :| haha

[Mayyte]

In all good honesty.. read the article on Habbox.com > Articles > Reviews > The OS War...

That should settle everything :)

[Invent]

and the Web Design Section? Oh no you didn't! :eusa_naug

LOL!

best post so far

urgh, you seem to always start it. you should be banned cos your posts are just full with your arrogant, big-headed comments.

@Mayyte, I stopped reading the article when I read...

While this is true, it is also untrue at the same time
it doesn't quite make sense :P

That made sense, you just havent understood it.


Just like to remind you all that this thread isn't for debating PC or MAC stay on the topic please!

Anyway yeah the endless debate of PC or MAC isn't worth arguing problem is with people is they just get too compassionate about one or the other and before we know it.

It usually results in a heated argument about why the other person is wrong and why they are right and then ultimately just flaming.

[Jackboy]

Web Design section is boring. Everyone has left because some nooby members joined.

I like Mac and PC.

And tbh i think i seen a few threads closed about it too

Inaccurate information in there, macs can get viruses. Allthough it does mention that there is a small chance they can after saying that, I think the article is slightly on macs side :P

DOHOHOHOHO PC SUX VISTA SUX OS X SUX MAC SUX (FOXCONN HARDWARE LOL)


But seriously, actually, Jew is right, these arguments should be stopped, I think HXF should dish out severe punishments for Mac vs PC wars.

jew starts them :rolleyes:

No I subliminally message people into starting them :8

[GommeInc]

Why punish people for having an opinion :S Surely that ruins the whole point behind a forum? They will always happen, as long as people have strong opinions. If it's obviously shouted out for a reaction, then the 'trolling' rule comes into play, but if it is used to spark a discussion, then leave it be. It's a forum.

I agree 100%. +rep sir.

Maybe its time for people to understand that it doesn't matter what operating system you use, they all have advantages and disadvantage's. Any threads that turn into an argument and will not stop going on, swearing and stuff like that. Should be closed. You all know what happens, you seen the desktop thread closed for a day because of it. Time to stop.

Hayd wrote it, what do you expect? :P

Linux = servers and some editing

mac = video editing, photography, creativity

PC = work, gaming, programming (I guess, not sure)

Its basically arguments fueled on what people are into, this dictates which system you should have. Macs are the sexiest though ;)

[Agnostic Bear]

Macs are the sexiest though ;)
This is what starts it, people trying to make "valid" points then putting in that little bit extra. Macs aren't the "sexiest" by a long shot, it's a computer not a goddamn model.

LOL it's stereotypes like that that cause such problems. I never do any photography and designing work on my Mac (except Media projects assigned at school). I have used it to code before and I have used it to work. :S You don't buy a Mac that is restricted to opening PS, Gimp, iPhoto and Aperture lol.

I agree, macs are ******* ugly

For god sakes, mods don't approve of this in it's own section, let alone the feedback section:P!

What did he say that doesn't make sense?



People assume too much, someone sees someone else talking about a Mac and thinks they're a fanboy, then out of pure ignorance makes some idiotic comment (because they assume they don't own any pcs and back Apple 100%). I think the threads are pointless...maybe immature, but they're harmless IMO. It's always the same thing anyways. Someone tells a Mac user that they never shutup about their Mac. The Mac user makes this huuge exaggeration about BSODs. The PC user says Macs are over priced then the Mac user laughs and starts talking about viruses. It's not really anything we havent seen before...

Macs = OS is fricken ugly, but has some awesome apps, slightly superior for video/photo editing
PCs = IE is fricken ugly but the OS is superior for gaming, programming etc...
Linux = ******* awesome as a reliable server.
