Is being on anandtech forums NERDY?!

[squidman]

I've just had this thought: is discussing computers, and the components considered to be "nerdy" in the US? (here, it isnt). Im not talking about fiery discussions, like what CPU is the best - thats waaay beyond me. Cuz, i disnt pay much attention to it before (i go to this forum every morning, when i wake up and log on to ICQ so me and my buds conclude our daily go-out plan or not, and in the evening fter shower) until i've encoutered this:
I've posted about nVidia vs. Ati thread, making fun of 5900 and saying that Radeon's aa and af are the best. So, this fool replies, saying something about me wanting to pick uyp a fight (?????!!! on the mofin intenret???!), and being a flamer. Also he told me to go "TF away". I, am a person of high social norms, and I really dislike this. It insulted not just my manhood, but my honor, which makes me uneasy.
So i am asking people on this forum (to basically decide whether im gonna come here again or not) - is being on this forum cosidered to be "looserish" or "nerdy"? Cuz when im being attacked or insulted over the internet, i regard that as EXTREME nerdiness, which i can barely tolerate. Is it so?

Yes, as soon as you sign up for an AT account, you can be assured you have no life....

 

[Colt45]

<-- not nerd, just bored

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Have you used a 5900?

 

[biffbacon]

i think its probably the most nerdy thing i do in life, but its so much fun i just cant stop

IF your thin skinned this may not be the place for you, no slack cut here.

Besides you should know nvidiavs ati threads always turn into flame wars.

Do you want my member's height, width, girth, length, volume, mass or capacity?

It is in no way nerdy. Only the playa's and studs hang out here.

Everyone here has multiple female/male partners and drive beamers. They are so sexy, that hot females offer to pay us to do them.

Having a black guy as an avatar won't help whatever made up statistics you post.

[Schadenfroh]

depends on which forum you post in

General Hardware: Mixture
Anandtech Articles: Sane
Operating system: Sane
For Sale Trade: Normal
Hot Deals: you are satans child:evil:
Politics and News: see Hot Deals
Small form factor: Sane
Highly Technical: geeky
Cases and cooling: mixture
CPU and O/C: mixture
Distributed computing: Normal
Motherboards: nerd
Networking: nerd
the rest are nerds, becuase i am too lazy to continue. but for the video part, see politics and news

[squidman]

ok. i've decided, that i no longer be a member of Anandtech, since if some people think that im here cuz i cant get laid, - is untrue, and insulting enough. I'll have to look for some other forum to practice my tech. english.
Thank you all, and goodbye.

Yes it is considered nerdy in the US but most of us here just accept (or even embrace) our nerdiness; most can laugh at themselves for being "losers" or dorks. For the most part, we're just bored and AT is a fun way to kill time and express ourselves in the geeky topics we're interested in.

Cuz when im being attacked or insulted over the internet, i regard that as EXTREME nerdiness, which i can barely tolerate. Is it so?

It may be that you take things said online too personally and seriously. (I'm often guilty of this too) Just put it in perspective that it's just an online forum and nothing said by anyone here should matter to the point that it really bothers or rattles you.



EDIT: Are you really Russian? We used to freqiently make "In Russia..." jokes around here. Uhh, hope you don't take it in the wrong way if you've seen it already. It's all in good fun.
