I think in that wiki article about anandtech.com, some one should make a note that P and N can errupt into huge flame wars.

P&N should be mentioned in a separate article. Just make sure to put a NSFW tag on it :D

AnandTech Off Topic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

AnandTech Off Topic, a subforum of one of the world's largest online computer hardware discussion forums, AnandTech. This is undoubtedly the fastest moving forum in the AnandTech community, although many of the posts are useless, one-worded answer posts such as, "Yes, "No," and "omghi2u." Discussion here can cover anything, ranging from golf, to sushi, to unproductive things to do at work, hence the name, Off Topic.

:D

Story behind this?

There isn't one. It's just another weak attempt at attack. :roll:

AnandTech Off Topic, is a subforum of one of the world's largest online computer hardware discussion forums, AnandTech. This is undoubtedly the fastest moving forum in the AnandTech community, although many of the posts are useless, one-worded answer posts such as, "Yes, "No," "pics?," "boobs," and "omghi2u." (But we must not forget the common response: "y helo thar.") Discussion here can cover anything, ranging from hockey, to Mountain Dew, to unproductive things to do at work, and other important stuff.

Undoubtedly one of the most popular characters of the forum is the Anandtech Moderator, whose Nazi ways are not to be messed with. He/she/it will ban in an instant, most agree that this frustration stems from being a virgin of over 35 years.

The Anandtech Moderator is actually a group of users who have Moderator privileges (yet all post under one username), however most of their identities are unknown. The only known Anandtech Moderator is FFM Cobalt (see compulsive liar), who now goes by the alias, Nik.

People who post on ATOT are often clueless about the so-called "female". In fact, they will often post threads labeled "YAGT" for "Yet Another Girl Thread" to ask such questions as "A girl gave me her number. What should I do?" or "My weenie began to twitch while I was lying behind my girlfriend on the couch. Will she like this?" or "How do you hold hands with a girl?" These types of threads brands ATOT as a message board full of pimply faced computer geeks who get flustered at the sight of a female. Incredibly, their have been sightings of females who actually post on ATOT, but they occur with less frequency than dug777 posting a thread worth reading.

Someone needs to write about how AnandTech got sued by Staples (which kind of brought upon the term "Staples is suck") and made AT a lot more famous, because it was one of the best Hot Deals forums in 1999/2000 + the advent of online coupon code abusing.

Just changed "ATOT" to a redirect like it should be.

That article's quite a laugh.
