I will be leaving TPU!

mjkmike · Apr 2, 2010

Yes I'm thanking every member that will stick with TPU.
Please let me thank over 1,000+ before the 24 pack of beer is done and me.

So, the thing is, MODERATORS have also made TPU what it is. Thank them too, even Dan.

And even now. They've done the dirty work and will be the only ones to keep continuity. I hope they are also getting rich, LOL.

Let's see how things go.

Thats a very very good point. The mods are very long term here..

mjkmike · Apr 2, 2010

I love the way this site just feels right.
"I need", is followed by how can I help.
Next you see the one helped helping others.
Each to there own thech level.
Want to gain a level? just go back and read. It is so simple to learn at this site.
W1zz is going to go but this, his hard work must live and bring new life.

Kreij · Apr 2, 2010

W1zz and the mods have always tried to keep drama to a minimum.
But with a single post, our fearless leader has created more drama in two days than in the whole history of the site. LOL
I have to admit they have done an exceptional job of keeping it maintained. Kudos, all around.

The drama is starting to subside, so let's wait and see what the promised "updates on the changes" bring.

Munki · Apr 2, 2010

W1zz thanks for making this THE best technology forum in the galaxy. Your reviews were always my deciding factor on my GPUs, simply flawless. Its a shame some immature n00bs have no respect for the higher authority, especially the one that owns/owned the site.

Thanks Again W1zz

Indeed there the silent heroes of TPU so three cheers for the mods for all there great work over the years.

johnspack · Apr 2, 2010

We need to keep posting until this hits 1000 posts. That should make it the most active post ever on TPU. And maybe anywhere! Let's post for Wiz!

mjkmike · Apr 2, 2010

I'm really pissed,no members will let me thank them for staying?
I see you lurking in the dark!

[Ion] · Apr 2, 2010

I'm staying, assuming TPU doesn't turn into a dump like Tom's did.

DrPepper · Apr 2, 2010

Well I'm staying but no need to thank me.

Triprift · Apr 2, 2010

I will anyways sorry Pepp.

Look at all the folding points I've spit out for TPU, I can't really take those anywhere else.... 3.4mil, can't really take that back. I'll have to support TPU.

JTS · Apr 2, 2010

Wait - So is this an April Fools joke or not?

(No I didn't read all the pages)

I think your avitar (at the moment) speaks words. Unfortunately, the future will be profit driven, be headless and lead down the road of other great things that inevitably come to an end, or change to something entirely different.

If it's a buy-out, no one can blame W1zzard for reaping the harvest of his labors. It's just damn sad. I've been on this site since 2005, modded my first video card thanks to him. It's like a death in the family.

So, an idea popped into my head, okay, no comments on that :laugh:

, why don't a ton of the members, me being one, start a "TechPowerUP! LLC and buy the site!!! That would insure that things stay the same, and TPU stays on top :rockout:

Far fetched? Maybe, but awesome things can happen!!! It would be kind of like a "employee owned" type of thing, correct? Elect the board of directors, with a treasurer and a good PR person to do a mass contact email to all TPU members announcing the possibility of being a part in purchasing the site!

Now, is that really so far fetched? Maybe not :toast:

That is soooooooo correct Sasqui! The admins and moderators are a huge part of why this awesome site is what it is! Excellent observation my friend :respect:

No matter what happens in the near future, we must all give a huge THANK YOU to W1zzard for everything!

THANK YOU W1ZZARD FOR YOUR UNDYING DEVOTION AND DEDICATION!!!!

GOD BLESS, AND GOD SPEED IN YOUR EN DEVOURS SIR!!!!

Triprift · Apr 2, 2010

Also without the mods The MailMan would not be the legendary banstick dummy he is lol.

fullinfusion · Apr 2, 2010

Bull shit! I don't believe this! Wizz giving up just because of Drama? :wtf:

mjkmike · Apr 2, 2010

But the Mail Man is the one who needs the most help.

W1zzard said:
After all the drama in the comments section of our Fermi review, I realized that continuing with hardware reviews and this tech "scene" might not be what I want to do with my time in the future.

So I looked for options out of this mess, and found one, TPU will be operated by a different company in the near future, I will be leaving the site. But fear not, most of the staff will remain here, the site and forums will stay the same in the near future (months). However, I have no idea what's going to change in the long run but I'm sure it will be for the best.

Further info and a more detailed schedule will follow when I have a better idea what will happen with my software projects and other internals of the site.

I'm quite sure it goes a bit deeper than that. Nothing to get upset over if it is the best for him. It is his site and he has put the most work into it, he has given far more than could ever be taken away and most importantly has the right like everyone else here to be happy and pursue his passions. As Polaris eluded to earlier it's best to keep positive and continue to keep TPU a good spirited, informative and welcoming place.

W1zz, go party it up. :toast:
