All I've done is take his quotes (which were out of context anyway even in the thread) and put them in my sig. If you think those words make him look foolish, then that does indeed say somthing.

You can argue it any way that you want to, but I don't think you or anyone else believes that you are trying to pay beggerking a compliment.

There's nothing wrong with Josh's sig. since it's a direct quote of something beggerking posted. Now Crusader's signature on the other hand is there to provoke people into flaming him yet I haven't seen it brought up in this thread yet..hmmm.

What does that mean? Only you guys can fix it. You must try to be civil and realize that others don't agree with you, just like in the real world. Yes, you may correct errors. But, name calling, flaming, etc., needs to be stopped. And, some minor victory or setback for one company is not your opportunity to celebrate. That is unsportsman-like and rude. While it might prove what you have been saying, it has NEVER been constructive or lead to reasonable discussions.

I am all for the Mods BANNING (not a vacation, that is temporary) unsportsman-like conduct and rude behavior. My level check tells me that they have about given up on this forum and a good reason to close it for good is just another nVidia/ATI flamewar away. Only you folks can fix it. Learn to control yourselves or do without.

Uh, do you ever have fun?

The point is that by putting quotes or anything designed to portray another poster in a bad light in your sig puts you on the offensive with that individual everytime you post. Plus. you influence the perception that others will have of that poster.

The difference between your sig and Crusader's is that Crusader's sig only serves to reflect on himself, and doesn't make any statement or attack against other forum members.

My sig is a humorous display of beggerking's posts. You gotta admit, posting in FI asking to have me banned and using the reasons he did were quite laughable and definitely sig worthy.

 

[Wreckage]

Now that you are a self admitted troll Joker, I have updated my sig.

Since such things are of your level.

 

[nitromullet]

Ya know... I decided to take a stroll out of Video and check out GH, this thread about Oblivion on a 30" LCD at 2560x1600 sounded interesting. Video isn't as bad as you guys make it out to be...

It does if they have an ATI card. Basically, Crusader is saying that Nvidia is better than ATI, a claim that can involve multitudes of people. My quoting beggerking, in or out of the context in the thread, is something that will and should only involve beggerking and I, not a mass of people.

Yes, I've argued with beggerking, but when he makes logical sense that I can follow, I agree with him:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...adid=1875239&STARTPAGE=3&enterthread=y

Its my sig, and I'm not marketing, or calling him names (anymore). The mods have already told me that I can have that as long as it doesn't pertain to name-calling. Everytime I post, its not to argue unless I think someone has already been doing so or trying to initiate it. Multiple threads across the net that actually have a set of rules still allow quotes in their thread. Any quote, if not in the thread, is always going to be out of context. If I had a quote from Shakespear, it wouldn't have anything to do with video cards. Would you be saying that if I did that I would be making fun of Shakespear's writing? No, you woulnd't because Shakespear used Old English and beggerking uses Newspeak.

 

[beggerking]

ya Josh. could you please define "driver path SLI"? or even "driver path"?... I still don't get it.. searched the net couldn't find any reference to it...

proposition for you..take your sigs off and I'll take mine off. Fair deal?

 

[the Chase]

Huh....so the Boxing Ring turned out the way it did-practically a love fest....and this thread on a call for nice responses and no flaming looks like it could go 10 rounds of brutal blow by blow action....Just smile and wave boys....smile and wave....

Exactly, much calmer now, but guess some room for improvement.

 

[redbox]

Ok beggerking it is one thing to quote someone in you sig. It is quite another thing to quote someone and then write in your own. If you are going to chastise josh for putting quotes in his sig and call him retarded for doing it at least have the balls and common sense not to do it yourself. You are only feeding a fire.

The Chase:
I do find it funny that when I started a thread in an attempt to put flaming in only that thread no one flamed really.

 

[nullpointerus]

I don't see much of a problem here. If the moderators would be just a tad more aggressive about keeping people from threadcrapping with unrelated arguments, there wouldn't be any serious problems with the forums.

Personally, I only mind the big argument threads when they create hard feelings because those hard feelings inevitably spread the flaming into other topics. *looks at certain posters* Other than that, heated arguments are sometimes a good way to test and examine viewpoints when the individuals are mature.

I think people are generally smart enough to tell the biased posting, and the community eventually corrects it anyway. I also think that the real danger with biased posting is that the flaming will turn away new members, people who were looking for help but got a big, unrelated argument instead.

Not laughable at all, although F.I. is not the proper place to complain about other members. PM's work best as I directed beggerking to do. No, not laughable. Not the quote of yours he has posted in that thread. I'd give you a vacation if I were a mod (not a mod) and keep an eye on you when you returned. I'd give you a chance. But if you did that again? Nuke.

Telling people not to get a soft spot for a paticular brand that is neck and neck with a competitor in one of thier larger hobbies is like telling humans not to be human. We crave battle. The mature ones just surpress the urge.

When you join the ATI/Nvidia Fanboys freakin in the corner, I'll be chillin on the Highside.

Peace!

I turned off my filter because I knew this thread would turn into a flame fest sooner or later. But I laugh every time I see Wreckage call someone else a troll. Wreckage who is a self admitted troll and has on multiple occasions used out of context quotes to distort what others are saying and to redicule them.

Won't post in this thread again, only got to the second page and already it's already starting to turn into a b!tch and flame fest.

Such a beacon of hope. I notice you only try to filter out the NVIDIA people as clearly there are no ATI fanboys here. :roll: Nope, you have no clear bias at all.

As for your "self admitted" quote. Try not to lie in your statments, it makes you look even less credible.

Ok, I said I wouldn't reply in this thread again but here it is. Your actions speak against you so you are probably the last person who should be calling others troll. Pot kettle black as the saying goes. Most times the ATI fans are speaking out against idiotic comments and fud by nVidia fanboys. I don't filter a lot of folks who are pro nVidia and also argue on the side of nVidia because they try to respect everyone's opinion and not post pure unadulterated BS as fact. Finally and most importantly, it's my computer, my filter, I filter out who I want to.

And believe it or not, I do think your'e an intelligent person Wreckage. I just think your actions on these forums are despicable and not something others should emulate. You have had numorous chances to discuss things in an intelligent manner. You could always send PM's as I have done with others I disagreed with or had an issue I'd rather keep out of the general public's eyes.


To everyone else.

Basically it's not what you are pro or con but how you carry yourself. Being opinionated is fine but when you are trolling as clearly you've been doing since the first day you signed on, much like Crusader, then I will filter you out. Heck, I consider Beggarking's actions over the line many times, much like someone like 5150Joker who I have also said crosses the line but you don't see me filtering out his posts. And Beggerking definitely does have an nVidia slant to him. And I don't expect anyone to be complete angels every single time. We all act a little idiotic at times which is to be expected.

One of the major reasons why I had to institute the filter was because there was no convenient ignore feature as other forums feature. I found I was debunking the lies and half-truths of fanboys half the time I visited these boards. Anyone who wishes to argue with the fanboys also doesn't show up which can be a positive and a negative. I found my online persona degrading to pretty much what I despised and I changed. Overall, I think the filter has actually helped my enjoyment of the AT forums. I do take it off occasionally as in this thread but it's up 90% of the time. I do find myself less on the AT forums at times and on other forums but at the same time I'm in argumentative threads less so overall it's been a better experience.

Definitely last post in this thread. If you want a response PM.

Where in that did you say, "I'll ignore for now"?

I gave you a chance to correct this childish behavior, but you continued with it, so I got the mods..

Now that you're participating in this "childish behavior" are you going to go to the mods and complain about yourself?

"SOFTWARE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HARDWARE!!!" .. wondering why you didn't post the whole quote. what I was trying to explain was " software doesn't need hardware for the software to run. whether or not the data produced by software is useful w/o hardware is another matter. "

Really? Can you write software or do anything with it without hardware? If software doesn't need hardware to run, how else does it run then?

2nd quote was referring to BFK seeing nothing wrong with your signature.

Right so when you said this:

It doesn't change the fact that there are two destinations for the "data" to go to. If their is one GPU, there is one destination, if there is two GPU's, there is two destinations, etc. You're right, it doesn't "see" GPU's like you do, it "sees" two destinations.

Now the driver path is SLI, and when put with another card like this it is?????? Yep, QUAD (as in four) SLI. That means that there is 4 GPU's. So some simple math is 4/2=1 in dramaqueen land.

Josh, stop the your sig crap. You are making yourself look like a fool.

1. umm..you were quite adamant when you said "data see 2 GPUs" before, what happened there? now you are flipflopping? data don't see destination, data don't have eyes. Data are feed into the correct PCI-e lane, it has nothing to do with GPU or destination.

2.You are dumb, are you? what are you talking about? regardless of # of GPU it is still a single card.

found here:http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...STARTPAGE=10&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

it was directed to BFG seeing nothing wrong with my sig? BS. That was a question directed to me asking if I was stupid. You don't even remember what questions you ask nor to whom you ask them.

Originally posted by: beggerking

Your sig even shows your poor reading comprehension since I didn't say "driver path SLI" I said "driver path is SLI". Besides, if you know so much, why do you have to "search the net" to try and find information like that? Maybe because....you...don't know as much as you say you do.

I'm sorry for not clarifying though, but I was meaning that the driver must have SLI activated for it to function properly. I think your broken English is rubbing off on me and I actually made up a phrase. Sorry.

In regards to your sig, you've just demonstrated how much of a hipocryte you are. Even worse so since you added things to it, making it more than just a quote:

Originally posted by: me?josh6079?
I don't know. I heard from BFG so it must be true. Since I'm eating my own words here I'm going to start personal attacks and threadcrap.

I don't remember saying that, care to link the thread to me?

Am I now going to go running to mommy (mods) so that the mean beggerking will stop hurting my little feelings? NO. Why? Because I really don't care if you try and misquote me in your sig to gain just a little e-erection. Unlike you, I don't care what some fumble-typing, argumentative wannabe programer thinks. Why do you show such concern for me using EXACT quotes in my sig?

proposition for you..take your sigs off and I'll take mine off. Fair deal?

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!:laugh:

Now that the mods aren't going to take out my sig because it isn't anything but your own words you have to try to threaten me and do some sort of thread sig ransom? :roll: You have extreme issues. Please don't embarass yourself anymore, PM me if you really want to discuss this further.

 

[fliguy84]

In the end, it's always about Akugami vs Wreckage and Beggerking vs josh.

umm.. I really don't see why you would pick on Wreckage when he is simply trying to calm the flame here.. your comments to Wreckage is completely unnecessary, and doesn't contribute anything to the thread. Fanboy or not, this thread is NOT about it, in a way you are also derailing the thread into another ATI vs NV flamefest.

You should be sorry for yourself because you just invalidated your entire argument on the other thread, which was based on your "driver path is SLI" theory.

really? driver must have SLI activated to function properly? so if you have a single card (which SLI would be deactivated), your card won't work properly? electricity would stop going into your GPU?

okay, I've decided to take your quotes out of my sig simply because leaving it blank is more useful than having your quote in there.
