Welcome! I'm actually surprised it took Anand this long to sell the place given his new position at Apple.

Btw, make sure they give you the keys to the VIP restrooms .. The one with the hot tub 😀

I don't think he's going to the woman's room. The men's room has a stripper pole and massages.

Thanks e^2.

I have no idea why that guy has to exaggerate everything in his life.

It's got to be VERY RARE that one doesn't know why they are banned. Perhaps he immediately logs out of AT and signs on his alt so he doesn't get the splash screen when you try to do something with privileges.

He is one of the 'other site' dwellers though, IMHO all of them should be banned from here. They do nothing to help and just brag how much greener the grass is on LoKe's site.

I am astounded by the number of members posting reactions as though the announcement was that the only forums are going to be Opera Talk! and My Little Pony and it would cost $50 a year to participate.

The guy said they don't plan to change much, I guess we could simply see if that's how it turns out.

Overreact much?

People I think wanted anon to happen here. Clearly, it's going to quickly get crushed.

I have been open since I joined this community.

But overreacting is so much more fun!

I have not. That is the difference.

history is a bitch.

You have to be a total idiot or complete naïve to believe shit wont change, and generally for the worse.


Rarely in history does someone buy something to not change it. And look at what purch is all about: Selling shit to people. Its not about technology, its not about learning, its about marketing. The new overlord himself says they are all about purchasing stuff, and then the model it to sell stuff to others.

Yep, still sure. You got any more personal attacks, or was that your best shot?

what? Did I attack you personally here? If you are a genius, then go with it. I just don't get why someone would pay a fee to be declared one when their paperwork would state it.

Back in the day Mensa got you some good benefits, my family in Chicago wanted me to join (two were members). None of them still subscribe.

Totally agree with the above, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll mess with the forums. I care about the forums way more than I do the main site, so I'm content to just hang out and see what happens. I'll take a good look at where we are this time next year, anything else is pretty premature.

Have you seen tomshardware's forums? Key word links, ads after every grouping of posts, ads, ads, ads.

If you think nothing will change you're crazy. May not change today, but it's gonna change soon.

What are we going to do with you?

They will give me your parking spot.

I call it like I see it, and I understand it.

It's their playground; not our's.

They will have no problem filling it.

I also love those talking ads and the like that I believe have also commented they run ad-blockers.

Probably, but what can we do but bail out, and why bail out while they're still good? I'm pretty pessimistic about the whole thing, but the forums aren't ruined yet so I'm not leaving yet.

I think I just accidentally posted my philosophy on life, actually.

What a complete crock of shit. Are you part of the moderation team here? Are you privy to ban discussions? I didn't think so.
The crap about the "other sire" is just that, crap, and the grass ain't green over yonder, it's brown, that's why it's called the "kingdom of crap".
Honestly, the best thing about it is they won't allow you there.

FTFY

Defend your Princess bro.

I am not part of the moderation team here, but we have talked at least in PM's a lot over the years.

That other site really talks a lot about this one and it's members LIKE ALL THE TIME.



No, we mods have not PMd a lot over the years with you.

Don't make it appear like you have some inside seat to the mods, because you don't.

Just stop, now. Stay out of moderation and that include commenting on our moderation of other members.

Seriously, just freaking stop.
