If W1zz goes, that could mean that Bta, Banjo and the rest of the mods could go too.
Nothing would be the same.

It wouldn't need to be the same because most of the usual members are probably gonna go too. I know that if this site turns bad without W1z leading it I'm leaving.

im gonna have to keep hitting refresh till W1z posts april fools!

yah seriously... This is like Hugh Hefner saying that he will be leaving Playboy. Its almost april and we're all fools.

fochkoph · Mar 31, 2010

Noooo...the sole site that launched me into the tech frenzy I am engulfed in today is changing?

I really hope this has something to do with April Fools.

Taz100420 · Mar 31, 2010

WTF!?!?!? Hell no! This aint right! Hell with what everyone says about ONE review out of the thousands you have done for us man. Drama is drama, you'll have it EVERYWHERE you go. I been using this site ever since it launched, maybe not as a user but this is the BEST tech forum on the web, hands down! Not everyone will like what you say or do but its constructive criticism. You work with what you have, period. I would never use another tech site again......

This better be a April fools joke.......

It doesn't work that way. If i go downstairs right now and say I'm a father then tomorrow go hah april fools it's not funny.

I'm certainly staying on TPU. I won't abandon ship just because w1zz has decided to leave. If we all leave or even a few of the regulars the forum will surely die.

Taz100420 · Mar 31, 2010

wait...what time was it in Germany at 12:09 pm EST???

Yeah but no one will believe you if you say something like that tomorrow, and definitely not after tomorrow. So what better day is there than today to REALLY get a rise out of people?

so where would you go, i come to this forum because of the people, my main forum was XS but they are very strict and have some real anal people,. I also go to OCn and EVGA but i never got the feeling of home and brotherhood that i got here, it would be a shame if all the good people left.

so where would you go?

Not sure honestly. i guess for me it would just mean more time spent working on the site. I dont really like the other forums. and mine doesnt have a user base So im kinda left to my own devices. I'll probably do this for about a year before finally realizing I cracked after I get done a discussion about shader units with a chicken strip.

I know what you're trying to say, I checked already. It was like 11:09 AM GMT when he posted it so that's moot.

I haven't had a discussion with a chicken strip. But I have gotten great advice from a Chicken Patty (with ketchup). :laugh:

Kreij · Mar 31, 2010

I don't have an inside line to W1zz and I can't read his thoughts.
Regardless of this is a April Fools thing or not, I appreciate everything he has done for us here on TPU and for having enought trust in me to mod GPU (rest in peace GPU).

I'm not sure why he trusts Banjo, but that is not for me to decide.

SKD007 · Mar 31, 2010

TUP? :shadedshu Using W1z's avatar and putting ATI on it? Heresy!

On the other hand, can we keep this website running long enough for W1z to make a tidy profit?

Master · Mar 31, 2010
