I guess we will see if the consumerist has anything to report about it.
@Phynaz, you should probably ask apoppin yourself. Im sure he would give you any details.
I'm sure it isn't done, and I never said it was done, it's just what I inferred from posts such as this:
Which led into this:
Then the thread went silent for about a week until now. He didn't get a response. I thought he just wanted the oppurtunity to tell AMD.
I don't recall ever dimissing anything. I recall questioning the motives and timing. And it seems more so his motives aren't what I just quoted him saying here. He clearly wants recognition if not absolution.
Welsh's post makes a lot of sense. His attitude changed once he got fed, and now that his morsel is devoured and no more food was served, well he started to ring his bell again.
But wait, I though he was posting all his communications. How many people here have asked him to post names?
He's got nothing. Bunch of hot air from a crybaby whose site isn't big enough to rate free swag.
I just really question the people here ragging on apoppin when all he's trying to do is benefit the enthusiast community.
Give me a break. He didn't accuse an entire sub section of a forum. All he did was point out that AMD's employees are both known to post here and they are allowed to by the mods without having to disclose anything. He's not accusing the mods or Anand of a bias; I'm sure they allow people from several companies to post here without full disclosure.By accusing a whole sub-section for a forum, it's moderators, and indirectly the owner of being AMD influenced?
Or making it clear he has no qualms with any pro-AMD poster's opinion being deflected due to rampant shilling?
Have you seen any pro-AMD posters over at ABT? I can count on my hand the most active posters over there, and since 4/5 of you guys post here - I can tell you right now, none of you are pro-AMD. And it doesn't really matter, just ironic. This whole this is riddled with it.
Re-read his post for proof, then ask Keys to link you the social policy at nVidia, and scroll back to the picture of a female nvidia employee posting on a forum - can Keys identify her to us? I doubt it. Same applies to AMD. Identify them, and let the communities respond (ala the AEG fiasco who the Consumerist broke the scoop on, not Apoppin as he's claimed before.)

You bought it. Hook, line and sinker, you know that right?
Do tell...you must know who it is right?
I think I'm not the only one getting tired of people saying that there definitely are AMD employees posting/shilling on these boards WITHOUT ANY PROOF.
The argument is basically, "...but...but...nVidia/Intel/Asus/etc does it!!!"
Well sure, it IS possible (like me winning the lottery tomorrow), but that doesn't mean it is fact.
I don't really have a problem with nV/AMD employees posting (NOT shilling) on these boards if it is transparent. Where do we draw the line though? Only people working for computer related companies should disclose their employers?
Time will tell. Several agencies are investigating this now AFAIK. I highly doubt he would go to these lengths without some sort of proof; in fact I don't think he would be able to do it legally.

An AMD employee tried to turn his website into a flog site. Why would he make that up?Just without the evidence part.

There's definitely evidence that the AMD employee in question was up to something at ABT.
Idontcare has directly said on here that there are AMD employees in our midst.

... IMO it's for the best of the community here to have the shills outed.
You're deflecting again. What exactly is it that I bought?
You were spoon fed, that the only reason Apoppin is taking on AMD and their viral stealth marketing tactics, is because he is mad that he didn't get a review sample, or that he was blacklisted. That is what you bought. I know that isn't the reason. You know Apoppin favors ATI/AMD. Always has and maybe always will even with whats going on. But after this, who knows.
