    Whether the rumour is true or not is irrelevant, it is still considered a rumour unless it is from a 100% credible source such as the manufacturer.
    BS.

    Once the government outlaws your guns your life is forfeit. You're already dead, it's just a question of when they are going to get around to you.

    I would be fine with that. I am tired of seeing all these stupid FUD threads. If no one has figured out FUD is about as reliable as a homeless guy holding your sandwich.

    I would rather no stupid news until proven fully true but the rumor mill would be fine as long as it keeps these stupid news out of the news section.

    Then there would be almost no news being posted into the new News section, no tech news and no tech related research news, neither of those are 100% confirmed until after products are launched. No news on video games or new software/hardware until they are launched.
    The "News" section would become a ghost town and completely pointless.

    Edit- If you are tired of the News section then don't go there, don't read the threads.

    I wasn't saying that leaks should never be posted on Xtreme Systems, just that it should be posted in the Rumour Mill. Keep the News section as a news section with Press Release info etc.

    Anyone who wants to read about leaks can do so in the Rumour Mill. I think it would be a great system.
