I created this thread because seeing a ton of false rumor threads is getting a little annoying.
So, if you'd like to report a false hardware-related rumor, please post it on this thread and I will post it on this exact post through the edit tool.
I'll also give you credit.
Feel free to discuss the rumors shown in this post on this thread as well.
Thanks for your time.
EDIT: This is to report rumors that are MOST LIKELY FALSE, NOT FALSE. Sorry.

The AMD Radeonâ„¢ technology in the new console will help deliver amazing gaming and entertainment experiences, and offer support for multiple screens. Not based on R700 series. -Discovered by Nollog.

Yay, another thread for exactly the same thing!
I may as well post something different.

You shouldn't be able to delete them, but there's like 5 of them about the GI articles.

Are they about single rumors, or about posting multiple rumors on one thread?

I don't Understandz why you try to put Rumors in one area when this entire forum right nows about rumors it will just make the forum seem dead instead of alive.

I see what you mean. I just assumed that people were annoyed of seeing false rumor threads and decided that this would make a convenient place to talk about the subject.
If you'd prefer the latter and nobody really wants this, then I'll abort thread though.
Sorry.

I was annoyed.
I don't consider them false, since they're just rumours though.

Ok, good. I'll change the thread name to "likely false". If you still don't like the thread, I'll abort.
EDIT: Wait I can't, can I. :l
That should be added.
I'll put it in the description and they can delete it if they'd like to. That, or I'll try to end the thread, even though it's pretty much dead.

I thought this was a good idea. Instead of making a new thread for every little rumor that comes out, this thread could have all of those in it.

Thanks! I thought I was alone.
I might have a vote on whether this should be here or not though to avoid unsatisfied people replying.
I also made a poll asking people whether you should be able to change the topic name or not, because I worded this topic's name incorrectly along with another one.

I posted this in the other thread, but it's probably better suited to go here because it's about the unreliable rumors in general:
Most rumors are false, but we can't know if they are until they're disproved. It really annoys me how we get something like 4 threads about unreliable rumors a day, rumors from people outside of the gaming industry posting on small websites that no one could logically think would turn out to be true. I think instead of creating an entire thread about these types of rumors people should just make a status about them instead. I'm fine with people creating threads about rumors from reliable sources though, like GameInformer or IGN.

Thanks to you as well, I think I might keep it unless told otherwise by many, many people.

Eh?
Tis a forum.

It's for discussion. You're allowed to express your own thoughts.
So long as a mod doesn't come along and freight-train the thread to locktown, don't sweat it.

Alright, koo. Also feel free to discuss the rumors mentioned in this thread. I'll put that in the main post as well.

It's not awkward to me. Then again, nothing is.
