The Syringer thread also involved more than just Syringer
Another one that's not directly forums related, but more of the AT News before it became DailyTech... CRAMITPAL and his hilarious anti-Intel tirades :laugh:
As for dartworth getting banned, I think that's just wrong. He may have a short fuse and be rather reckless and rude, but the service he provides to the community in the form of free webhosting is great. I don't think moderators should take anything said against them personally. I mean, they ARE (for the most part) anonymous or nearly anonymous...
How do people who joined in 2005 know so much about all these things that happened before they got here?

Bah, these are all the more recent events. Bring out the pre-2002 stuff. Even better, pre-1999
Oh, and Goku's very existence is still a scandal.
The "death" of PCResources thread was November 19, 2001.
Bah, I was off by a few months. Just shoot me
I lurked from maybe 1997-2004...
Oh, and LoKe is still my hero. What the mods refuse to acknowledge is he could have done FAR worse things such as exposing their identities, banning them, posting as them, etc. While I'm not condoning what he did I really think he should have been taken into the fold rather than kicked out. He certainly knows a lot more about security vulnerabilities than the average mod...

oh man oh man. i remember that. that company who was sending him tons of stuff and in return he had to fight for nvidia and oppose/destry ati.
kinda still miss him and his arguments, but hey, video is at least a little bit...quieter nowadays.
Any one recall the details of the GUTB, Guy under the Bridge, saga? It was just winding down when I joined in 2000.
It came back to light when his account was reactivated on the forums and his ban was lifted. Another little known fact is that they wrote an article on it in the Register (www.theregister.co.uk). Here's a link to it: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/05/18/murderer_confesses_on_anandtech_forum/
Or you can go to Google and search on these keywords: Anandtech scandal and it's the second hit that comes up
:laugh:Does anyone here remember Mastertech? He would go into every single hardware thread preaching the merits of Intel, bashing AMD, and flaming anyone who ever disagreed with him. I think his sig was "Heed my words - Intel Inside everything" or something like that.
I also remember GUTB, who did more or less the same thing.

That was Dennilfloss. I remember him back in the day.
For any other old timers on here, remember how he also used to claim that he got abducted by aliens while he was sleeping?
I used to always argue with him. He was the total Intel fanboy. Any time that someone would mention an AMD chip, he'd say something like, "Let's keep it real"
Was he the one that basically poured water into his case then said his computer didn't work because the AMD processor it contained was inferior to an Intel processor?
