This is aimed at all you guys blasting this guy...

Subscribe? Maybe we should, then we could really crap on threads and spend all our time pointing out reposts like you guys. Better yet, maybe one of us could get lucky and be a mod and point out every stupid mistake that people make on these forums. I think some people (and you know who you are) just do searches for every thread that gets posted and point out every hit or similar hit they can find just to redicule the poor "newbie" that posted it. You criticize and blast newer users for not knowing the rules and re-posting something from days/weeks/months ago, yet you expect them to keep posting? I understand there are rules and why they are there, but all this negativity from some of the "old-timers" and mods lately is really beginning to make this place a pain. It's supposed to be informative and dare I say fun, so why can't we just get be civil to each other?

It's funny really, the standard graphics mode does NOTHING, because it doesn't DISABLE emoticons in SIGS!

An oversight and a half, plus IE caches the graphics anyways, it doesn't make a difference, when i am sitting here waiting for the page to load, i'm waiting for actual HTML, not graphics(try looking at the source while you are waiting one day)

:) I'm not leaving here anyway, it's not like i do have a life ;)

welcome to reality, enjoy your stay. This is how all large message boards are. I have yet to see a large(50,000+ users) that wasnt anal about reposting or bitching. It comes with the territory. You have to learn to love it or leave it.

To everyone that complains about Anandtech's speed but is too cheap to subscribe...
just view threads in raw text format. That'll make it nice and fast.

For the record, I'm not a subscriber... but then again I'm not a complainer either. :p
