Well, if it was on 4chan, then that shit had definitely gotten real.

Whaaaaaaaaaa??????????

You made me cry twice! first out of sadness and then out of happiness! I believed it was an april fools but as time went by and 2nd april came I lost hope.....

Awww I love you W1zzard!

This was EPIC! Lol I think you might get into the Guinness Book of records for making the one single april fools joke which the largest number of people believed! It's not just the TPU members, doing a google on "W1zzard leaving Techpowerup" brings up all the major tech forums having a thread dedicated to the topic!

 

[Soylent Joe]

Thank God.

*wipes sweat off brow*

 

[chaotic_uk]

how can it be april fools when it was posted in march ?

 

[alwayssts]

Well, were you fooled through April 1st?

Alright then.

if i see you one day i WILL you! you are one sick sob

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

o its far more than 4

Yeah I wasn't surprised to see it show up on XS (the two sites have a good relationship; W1z posts there regularly) but all the others in that Google shot--that's awesome. Though not as surprising if you really think about it given his software and reviews.

 

[SK-1]

Trolled everyone he did!

 

[(FIH) The Don]

maybe all this will make you realize that you DO NOT leave us

 

[TVman]

The thing that terrifies me the most is that someone might hate me as much as I loathe you

 

[LittleLizard]

YOU BLITHERING SON OF A "#$%. Now, being serious, FIU, glad you dont leave.

EDIT: thats probably the best april fools you could have ever done, every single member believed it.

 

[morphy]

I rarely post much but TPU is one of maybe only 3 sites I can depend on regularly for news and quality reviews and a big part of that is w1zzard's work here.
Even tho he didn't really leave let me just say "Welcome Back!!"

 

[Darksaber]

LOL I just LOLed when I read the news bit that W1z is leaving ^^.

I was itching to write something in that thread, something along the lines "Great! Finally I get to take over TPU", but I thought that would have been too much ^^.

I loved the petition btw, but come on guys? a limit of 500 which was not even reached?... ehehe

Happy April Foolz!

First post here.

Very glad it was an April fools joke W1zzard.

I have got to ask the question though, because it's been bugging me for ages, are you the same Wizzard that used to post at "DFI Street" when it was around ?

 

[dr emulator (madmax)]

well it was the best mind f yet
and has got you more publicity than ever

 

[Black Panther]

I suspected this was a joke at first, I posted the reasons why on GN...

What gets me really is not the fact that he's selling it, but that he said he was leaving.

Selling alone doesn't mean leaving. It's not as if any new owners of TPU would be banning him...

W1zzard does joke. A couple of weeks ago he created a thread in the Nvidia section of TPU entitled something like "omg look what I'm installing" and after 5 pages of tension building up he made us laugh at it being a joke. And it wasn't April 1st yet.

I think if he was serious about it he'd just have made the announcement and locked the thread.

Anyway, I'm still hoping... that W1zz is pulling it and the rest of the mods are in cahoots with him(wh)

I won't give up hope - Thread title doesn't convince me... too short, smells fishy, with the ! at the end and all.

Also W1zz gave concrete answers to various allegations, like this, this and this one.

But never once did he answer a post where it was asked whether it was an April Fools joke, by declaring that it was not.

But then as more time passed I started believing it.

Heck I even started a thread in the maltese tech forum...

Which reminds me.... I got some updating to do....

I was going to sign the petition but thought that would be futile, so I just posted my pleas.

 

[Radical_Edward]

i might have one or two posts there, but not more. so it was probably not me

 

[cauby]

[lism]
