The creation of this thread is spam... You tell me what's with it.. lately i've noticed you to be more on edge and not the calm cool and collected cikotic of yesteryear...
and that quoting business that you call spam is just because there isn't anything else to do here.. You can't blame people leaving (ET is the only one and he didn't give a reason) on the member base, but the lack of content.
Tomshardware, driverheaven and anandtech are biased pos's.. at least that's popular belief. TWL is biased as well (amd... do you see any intel reviews?.. wait.. do you see any reviews at all?
)
Which brings up my point.. Forums don't thrive on thier own.. They (and more importantly the mother site) need real content that people care about, and lots of it!
HardOCP and hardforum are possibly the most popular and successful site and forum for computer stuff there is. I hate almost every rule and policy of that forum, but it has way too many users and way too much content to ignore!
If you whored that forum 24/7 you couldn't keep up.. 5 min a day here keeps this covered.. :/
So back to topic, don't blame the forum's problems on me... I'm not even a staff mod for crying out loud... i'm not that powerful..
