Default Re: Can anyone help save Hardware Pub?

Ahh, I was expecting angry replies. That's quite alright though.

Just so you know, I was highly associated with the original HardwarePub, run by 1derful and whoever else it was, all those years back. They wanted to use my tweak guides, which I allowed them to, although, they were posted on Tweak3D.net soon after.

As for my lack of experience, or however you put it, I have plenty of experience in dealing with websites. I'm a previous writer for Tweak3D, I'm friends with Jim McMahon, the owner of the once-great tweakfiles, I'm friends with Thomas at 3D Spotlight, Tuan N at Firing Squad, blah blah. Additionally, I'm a writer and co-manager of EverythingUSB, and work every day, consulting with my boss, working out new site designs, ideas, and communicating with companies such as Logitech, Microsoft, Adaptec, Iomega, Intel and others.

I don't question your work ethic, but I do question the quality of work. From a site standpoint, HardwarePub is sure a lot better when I first made 'donations' to it, quite a long time ago. I think you're doing a good job as webmaster, but the real concern is the writers. I understand you're young and unexperienced, but the only way to get better is to accept criticism and learn from your mistakes. I've come a long way in my years, just like anyone.

I don't stand back on ram reviews being pointless, because they are. I suggest you do a ram roundup, as you'll have more to work with article-wise.

Everyone makes mistakes, and the best way to learn from them is to take the good and bad opinions and mature from them.

As for Explosive Hardware, I have nothing to say about that site.

PS: I would appreciate it if you pointed out my grammatical errors as well.
