I will translate for the n00bs. In other words, W1z is saying:

"Are you fucking stupid, the review was what caused this whole fucking mess. I got a phone call that woke me up from my drug induced slumber and I had to take down the site to do damage control. I am on my 5th cup of coffee and fucking pissed at those douchebuckets from Italy who leaked the review in the first place. Fuck this I'm going back to bed."

The level of maturity in this thread is below a level I cannot comprehend. Calm down.

And do you think every link appears magically in google?

What happened was the link got leaked to XS, leaked from there to other places, and google's spiders being as fast as they are picked up on a massive influx of links and put it at the top of the list.

Google is magic. :cool:

My point is only that they're doing a good thing by getting the word out quickly. I appreciate it when someone gives me the links to the things I want to read. It's awful kind of them. It's a shame that it became such a fiasco, what with TPU going down and all.

that would actually be a complement since w1z is in germany and the servers are spread out around the globe.

LAN_deRf_HA · Nov 9, 2010

Whens the nda lift anyways? It's the 9th already, the cards are on sale, discounted at that... surely it's time for it to be lifted.

P.S. You should totally get a refund for hits after the use of the safe word.

That's why we call him the "w1z"?

I just have to say, that my life, felt incomplete without TPU.

I had to use the Google Cache version of TPU just to ease the pain.

scaminatrix · Nov 9, 2010

I missed the downtime, was in bed

Didn't miss the surprise last night though...
I reckon if TPU didn't go down, the "most users ever online" would have been beaten; it's over 5,800 at the mo :cool:

the gpuz release is bringing in almost twice as much traffic right now as any "leak" traffic

That's good. 12,000 dl's since 7 p.m. yesterday, over 10 downloads a minute :toast:

I think the record will be broken today, it's steadily climbing

4 page review(in order of importance):

TPU crashed under stress from someone linking to an unpublished review(think GTX 500)
