If you look back at history, all of the crusades failed.
You may become a part of that fabled history in the not-too-distant future.
You do have the right to your opinion, so long as you're not being paid to post it, IMO.
Personally, I think that AT should have a policy that states that all AEG/marketing agents must be up front about it and pay a monthly/yearly fee to AT. That money should go towards some serious moderation of the forum, which would then encourage some serious industry insiders to post here. If they are caught as an "undercover" AEG agent, they should have to pay a huge fine to AT.
I don't see why an end user agreement can't enforce this.
First, your history is incorrect not all the crusades failed. But this isnt a crusade, I just wanted to raise awareness on a 3rd point of view.
Here is my exit post in the AEG thread. This should appease many, as some appear to want to impose their point of view on anyone and everyone who dares to disagree with them.
I think this is way, way out of control. I'm withdrawing from this discussion until things calm down.
Thats my responsibility as a poster. This is absolutely ridiculous.
I will still make points when appropriate on this matter, but what needed to be added to the conversation prior to my coming has been done.
Anyone who wants to help the situation should refrain, but I somehow do not see the anti-Rollo crew doing so.. I think some see it as a "either him or me" situation, this is their last great shot at getting rid of Rollo.
And yes I have intimate knowledge of this forum, I've been reading ALL the hardware sites and ALL the forums for many years.. many years longer than a lot of you. :frown:
Its not evidence of any conspiracy.
And why did not everyone jump all over the last guy who entered the AEG thread recently, because he was anti-Rollo?
That speaks for a lot.
I come in peace.
If you guys want to burn down the house (and probably yourselves too), go at it.
I'm not going to take the brunt of your anger in this witch hunt.
Once Video is kept in Video.. most of this problem will be solved once and for all.
That means starting with stopping the anti-Rollo/anti-marketing threads.
And no, I have NO affiliation with ANYONE. I would admit it as I dont think there is anything wrong with AEG, Nvidia, ATI, Rollo, Sickbeast, Kyle Bennett, Anand, DaveB, Dr. Thomas Pabst, Santa Klaus, or anyone else who gives or recieves free hardware.
Lets chill out for a while, OK?
Good luck finding a way to get all the marketing agents to identify themselves, now or in the future. If you can figure that one out, let me know. Otherwise, I had some pretty new and different ways of approaching the situation.
