Re: Can anyone help save Hardware Pub?
 

I'm not telling you, or anyone how to do their job.

I saw a link to your site, through one of your writers, who was trying to sell something he reviewed.  So I thought i'd check it out.

The article was one of the worst I had ever read.  So I checked a few others out.  While they were better, they aren't near quality IMO.

I'm simply saying that in its current form, this site is laughable.

BTW, That rant Joe wrote over at ProCooling.com.  I'm pretty sure that pertained this THIS site as well.

Here’s a thought. How about if all you guys that are criticizing these young people take a step back and take some things into consideration. When I was that age I was out causing trouble. Besides these sites target a totally different demographic than what you are probably used to. Get the hell outa here and keep your mouth shut unless you have some encouragement for these young people. You should be ashamed of yourselves for discouraging these people who are obviously doing something positive with their lives. I also write reviews and I am fairly new at it. I do it because I think it's fun and I have a desire to help the consumer. I think that I am getting pretty good at it too. Well I am outa here. Keep in mind that you are an asshole the next time you come here.

I have to tell you Tiger (or is that big fucking wanking fag lick), I had visited AMDZone.com before I discovered hardwarepub, which one did I bookmark, well not yours. Get some personality, and a life. Oh, and suck my big hairy dick!

P.S: Oh, and grow up while you are at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said. I would have to agree with him... SUCK A FAT COCK YOU STUPID SON OF A GOAT!

Whoa, this is kinda weird. BTW, this is Trevor... you know... "Trevelyan."  You guys really don't need to put quotes around my name; makes me feel like I'm some horrible embarrassment that everyone avoids talking about.

Anyways, it's been quite some time since I've owned HardwarePub... maybe a few months since I sold it someone who sold it to you guys. And just so you guys know, I was there from the beginning. (And BTW, hey Dustin, long time no see.). If you don't know, the original (and I mean VERY FIRST) owner was Skeptik... but I took over because he sucked, but that's another story.

Anyways, I still visit hardwarepub.com every now and then, and honestly I like what you've done with my layout. Very nice, very clean, except for some small problems.

I don't think HWP was 'THAT' bad back when I owned it. True, it was stagnant for a long time, simply because it was monopolizing my life and so I just gave up on it. But for a time, we were pulling in 150,000 impressions a month. (And BTW, if you think 5,000 hits means 5,000 people visit your site a day, you are mistaken. It's most likely about 700 impressions, which means 700 page views, which is NOT good.)

Anyways, thanks everyone for bashing the site. I honestly won't really defend it, since I haven't seen anything that really makes it special, but I really do admire the new staff - they seem to be a lot more committed than I ever was, so I'll give them that.

Well good luck to you guys in your endeavour... hopefully you will succeed in your quest. Heh, maybe in ten years when your site is famous and you're rich I'll say "Man, and to think I sold that site and all it's content for $150."
