I'm using a GlobalWin FOP32-1 HSF on my 650 Duron @ 824 right now and I'm doing just fine. OR you would go for the FOP38 if you don't mind the noise.

Mitsubishi sells some really good phones. Take the G75 for example: No silly games, or frills, just a phone that works. -Well. This thing will stay on standby for 5 days before the battery runs dry. Most newer phones can't go 2 days. -That's not really progress, now is it ? But I guess it...

ICQ was in it's best shape when it was owned by that little group of folks in Israel. Then when they sold out, ICQ decided to become "All things to all people", and it all went downhill from there. So instead of it being the handy little communication system, it's now ICQ: The...

Well, it started out as a little curiosity and a tad of mischef, but I'd rather not see things get all bent out of shape. There seems to be some pretty good folks over here. (...maybe those who haven't should stop by Ars sometime). :D --- Maybe we already have. :) On Ars, you posted...

Understood.

Fakir: Yes, it was Mad Mandarin's post that sparked my interest.

bigvince: Thanx. (I hope you don't get into trouble for explaining it to me !!) It's good to get an insider's view on this.

Fakir; *Doh* You blew my cover ! LOL ! Yes, I understand this can be seen as a little inflamatory but it has turned into a productive little thread, eh ?

PC Addict: Yes, I am here for a little fun, but also to satisfy my curiosity. :) And for the record, I'm an AMD Fan.

Ratkil: You may see that statement as senseless babble, but I guess you haven't seen things from the other side of the fence. Go visit Ars, [H], or your pick of a dozzen other sites and take a poll about who has/has not been banned from Anand. The results may suprise you ! (Then you can...

Ah, let me assist you in figuring my identity. I'm new. Suspicion being a popular past time, I'm sure several of you will be scratching your heads wondering "who" I am. But I assure you this is my very first day here with you folks. Lots of people talk about getting banned from this...

So can anyone enlighten me on how/why these forums have developed the reputation of banning as it exists today ?

Yeshhh, I believe it is a lifetime policy. But I've never been banned before. (From here or anywhere).

Hell no ! I wouldn't want to upset anyone ! It's just that we're having a little conversation over at Ars, and it seems almost everyone has been banned from here at one time or another, and I kinda felt left out. So I thought I should investigate this little oddity a little further.

I gotta say, it IS one of the biggest jokes on the net. "I got banned from the AnandTech forums" So I'm thinking....hey ! Why the hell haven't I been banned ? Kinda like a right of passage I guess. So I figured I'd best hop to it. :D
