uhm... I've seen more intelligent conversation and posting in the 10 minutes I've spent reading this site than the past month spent on digg.comI'm talking about people who lay a claim and then support it with solid, thought provoking, or at the very least verifiable points and other people who take time to understand the points made and form solid counter points without devolving to petty insults. It's in a fricken thread about the PS3 no less. Simply amazing to find people on the internet that can have an intelligent conversation about such a hotly debated subject.Maybe the fanboys haven't congregated yet? Still... I plan to keep an eye on this.case and point about digg comments:@formulaoneWhat is pathetic is your inability to understand a simple concept. He's not saying in any way that digg invented internet voting. He's saying the site copies digg's STYLE of voting. Until digg voting for individual comments and such was not common place, and the few places that had it did not implement it nearly as well. This site even has thumbs up and down icons for each comment.

i have found gamefaqs to be quite irritating with you just looking through bland, text files that make you think you are browsing the web in the mid 90'salso, i wonder if this will interrupt my whole cheatapedia work... where users submit cheats as a community

Think about a Digg focusing entirely on essays and opinions of your own concerning videogames...Now tell me that isn't a cool concept, even if people can come in and change your own essay.
