Lol at that thread and the kind of people there. Never cease to amaze me how much they can flame each other. Such e-peens they have !

Sorry If this thread is inappropriate here. Just remove it or move it to the right section if so.

Please post things like this in the appropriate section to begin with. General Nonsense comes to mind. I did enjoy it though! :toast:

Wow that forum is harsh.

Fitseries3 · Sep 26, 2008

you should see OCN. they are straight up assholes there.

ghost101 · Sep 26, 2008

The guy deserved it. How did this guy get free stuff from Gigabyte to review?

Kreij · Sep 26, 2008

Man, I am going to pawn off my 4870x2 and get a GTX260 after this amazing review!

What an awesomely crappy review. Source and 3Dmark? Oh wow, that's truly a great way to gauge performance. I like nVidia more than ATi myself, but this is simply ludicrous.

Mission failed. Try again.

Twice I almost spit my coffee on my keyboard. :laugh:

I think I'll stay from there... I dont have an avatar tough enough to survive.... :cool:

This is why I never bother with those forums. TPU rocks!

Agreed. I disagreed with a mod at OCN and got perma banned. [h] is just flat out stuck up and biased. I mainly deal in the FS/Trade forum as they do have a great one.

Really? Maybe some constructive criticism, but not a complete beating like they gave him. Geeezzz...

Me too, but that is only because they got a lot of members .TPU FS forum is also getting there.

The biggest problem there is, that they dont have avatars. Its like a bot respoding to your question post after post and the black background.

Here at least everyone has a avatar, its like an image of that person. So when I see A girl kissing a guy, I know its Solaris, lol

. Fit has that star , jc has the dog, mullered has torres , erocker had something cant remember

Yeah they were hard on him but its not like he didnt fight back.. My favorite part is when the thread turned into a political debate.

It wasn't a total loss, as it provided us with some entertainment for the day. :toast:

Perhaps it's his first review sample (something he didn't buy, to review)...it works like: they give him their ~~arse~~ product and expect him to ~~kiss it~~ churn out a credible review. He got too carried away, too "into" it all, got flamed.

cdawall · Sep 26, 2008

that made my day way better

wolf2009 · Sep 26, 2008

I wonder who BIGCACTUS is who they were talking about in that thread. His threads must have been even more epic . LOL . HE got banned on evga twice . LOL .

EastCoasthandle · Sep 26, 2008

He opposed a lot of their review methodology and was ultimately banned for it. He was disliked for saying that ATI was currently the better video card (more/less) and some members over there hated him for it.

I was reading that too and I was curious as well so I did some digging and found these nuggets:

The post that got him banned
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1032989249#post1032989249

Other stuff he posted
http://www.hardforum.com/search.php?searchid=10418883

I tell you after reading some of his more, well, passionate threads he's epic alright just not sure if it's due to meds or what.

In either event, the only real good thing that comes out of there is the Monitor forum otherwise be aware there are crazy people in that house.

Probably due to it being only available to a logged in user. Sorry 'bout that forgot their search function is somewhat wonky.
