First I'll correct your grammar then I'll remind you that two of the three Hit Squad members are Dutch, you may want to be careful
Also remember that the Dutch immigrants that came to America consumed more beer than all of the other ethnic groups combined. That has to be a good thing.

On Topic : Kudos to all the admins, mods and users who make this site great.

Grammar Nazi. But what do you expect out of a Dutch lover. Kreij is a Dutch lover!

Also it doesn't surprise me that the Dutch came to America and drank the most beer. Why do you think I have such hate for the Dutch?! I mean how would you like it if someone came to your house and tried to drink up all of YOUR beer?

On Topic: What I like about these forums are the mods are fair. EXCEPT Mussels and Bta. They both owe me infractions.

Yup Bta is all I need now.

I agree here so much! i have only been using the TPU forums for a short time but i have learned alot in only a short time, what originally brought me here was downloading Gpuz and i stumbled across a thread via google about 4890 overclocking.

People here are not idiots at all no trolling etc, a more mature appraoch compared to other forums (the reason i overlooked them) and the posts from others are informative and great to read and in turn because of this help from others here i try my hardest to help others to give back to the community that has helped me so much.

Dam i wouldn't be building my first water loop if it wasn't for these forums, i wouldnt have flashed my gfx card, i would have known how to recover from that bad flash! lol. I have learnt so many bits of information that i never even learnt in my degree in computer science.

so Thanks all and thanks to a great community.

Jstn7477 · Oct 12, 2009

I would also like to thank techPowerUp! for making my life better. There's always something to read and discuss in the forums, the reviews are thorough and there is never any BS, and the community is very nice, funny at many times, and is almost like a family. Also, because of the nice people here, I decided yesterday to start folding again, this time on my GPU (9800GT) and for the TPU! folding team instead of my own. I even decided to use my value-oriented GeForce 210 as my main graphics card for everything I do, and dedicated my 9800GT to 100% folding (and nothing else) when the computer is powered on, even while gaming.

And W1zzard, thanks for developing all your awesome software, and most importantly, making this an English website, since the predominant international language is English. As an American, if this site were not in English, I would be doing something else right now.

TheMailMan78 · Oct 12, 2009

Can I have my infraction now?

ste2425 · Oct 12, 2009

i have heard some hilarious s@@T since i joined tpu but this one thread seems to have summed it all up with randomness

keep it up

W1zzard · Oct 12, 2009

is tpu the basket or the snake ?

LittleLizard · Oct 12, 2009

WTF, mailman banned, WTF is going on here?

Solaris17 · Oct 12, 2009

i lold hope it isnt perm though

happita · Oct 12, 2009

Being a computer vid game nerd for most of my life, I really appreciate the little nooks n crannies that I've learned about hardware/software from the time that I have joined this forum.

This website also helped me with the greatest realization in my existence. Knowing exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life (being a Business Management major, thinking it was all about the money). Such a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders when I figured out what I wanted to do as far as a career. And it's something I actually like doing!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart members of TPU for giving yet another soul a means of transferring energy into a positive way for not only myself but for others as well by giving back to the community any way that I can :toast:
