I'm not too sure, RTPE has been down for months and it still has a link on the main page. There was a gem of an article on ATi's decision to target the value market and not the high-end market, and they've set up a "Bench (beta)" section, but the site seems to be lagging Tom's and other hardware sites for a while now. When I was building my comp, I didn't really use AT much this time around. This used to be the PREMIER hardware site on the net, its a shell of what it once was.

:shocked:

i have to agree with that. when i built my computer and was looking at sites AT was the least helpfull. it just didnt compare to the other sites. Also asking on the forums is a waste.

Another thing to consider,the overwhelming overall tone and complexion to these forums is one of hostile sarcasm that can quite off putting to potential new members. Many people probably scroll thru here and figure that if they want to argue with people or be insulted that they can do that in their real time lives and they decide to become members elsewhere.

Can't believe this hasn't been locked yet; some heavy criticisms have been thrown around. Maybe thick skin has finally been grown, even if open ears/minds haven't quite yet followed.

I still feel that the fractioning of OT was the worst idea ever, and it seems that not everyone realizes that since there are people requesting further subforums. The more you manage OT, the more it loses its unique flavor and you chase away people who were here during times of old.

Maybe it's just because I've gotten older, but I feel that the intelligence and depth of discussion here has declined steadily over the years.

Do you really have to ask what would happen if this was locked now?

Do you?

I agree.

I think the fractioning is fine for everything but the social related categories.

OT used to have a much more interesting mix between the L&R, garage related stuff, work out threads and all the other nonsense that is now all OT is compromised of.

It was easier to keep on top of things in one OT place instead of a few sub forums...but it's a lot easier searching for stuff for what you want though...catch 22 issue

I was browsing searching for some stuff in OT and clicked on this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=38&threadid=2095111. I was looking through the last page and found one person linking to http://****NSFW****pics.bbzzdd.com/toprecent.php. I clicked the link only to find an image of a womens buttocks staring me in the face. This is obviously NSFW/babe thread material, just thought I would point it out so mods can ban the original poster and everyone who quoted him for a week.

EDIT: Fixed my link as not to be a babe post.

Listen. I'll try to explain it to you so you can understand.

NFS4 asked why a thread of his on OT was locked when it hadn't evolved into a babe thread. (Babe threads are not allowed in OT)
I replied that it probably shouldn't be locked and instead edited by the Mods in an attempt to keep it on topic and out of babe thread terriority.

Now take that dick out of your eye and read it again.

There are times such as these that I would much rather have a discussion in person.

Guys like oldsmotroll would NEVER say things like that in person.

It doesn't matter if there are links to pictures or videos.
"_________ is so hot! I'd hit it. " etc. types of threads are babe threads, regardless of whether there are pictures posted. Those types of comments have derailed several legitimate threads, resulting in them being closed. -DrPizza

perhaps we should revisit this.

because there are babe threads currently going on without any bans or locks. CC wanted to ban me 3 weeks for saying "go to pics.bbzzdd.com top 25 recent" and now there is a thread on alec baldwin's 13 year old daughter that is still going.

Obvious babe thread - rules are NO BABE THREADS outside the L&R Thread

The new guidelines for those that can not comprehend
The vacation time will be 1 week per offense based on recorded track record of similar actions.

Therefore the vacation is reduced to 1 Wk - equivalent to the first infraction.
