A while back, we closed the Vita thread and allowed this PSN game and service thread to be created. However, it has become what is essentially the same thread with a different name, covering all aspects of the Vita from hardware problems to sales and and more.
It's also become an insular clubhouse where members who feel that they cannot comfortably discuss the Vita in the rest of the forum come to chat. Sometimes this type of chat goes entirely too far, to the point of people whining about other posters and threads in the safety of an echochamber, which is not the type of thing we want here on GAF. It's understandable to be frustrated with the trends of discussion surrounding the Vita as they are, and we will be trying to do a better job of keeping blatant trolling and non-discussion to a minimum as we move forward, but the aforementioned behavior is contrary to the type of environment we want GAF to be.
As a result, here's what we will be doing from now on:
1) This Vita PSN & Game Service thread may continue, but not in its current form. We want it to be switched over to a monthly format, and for each month's thread to have an updated OP with all of the new games and service information so that discussion in the thread is easier for newcomers to participate in. This also serves the purpose of keeping Vita news at the forefront rather than buried in a lengthy thread.
2) The meta discussion about other members, threads and the forum itself are not welcome. From here on out, that type of discussion will be treated just as it is in the rest of the forum. If you have a problem with a particular thread or member, by all means bring it to a moderator's attention and if it crosses the line, it will be dealt with, but do not derail threads - including this one - with that sort of discussion any further.
