Step outside of the Anandtech world for a minute...

[The Pentium Guy]

What?
A bunch of neffers (they'd probably use a different word though, probably troll)?
A useful community?
Some retarded place?
Undesciplined bastages running around?
Place to gather information?

I googled 'list of anandtech moderators' (for the hell of it right?) and found this
http://forums.aliensoup.com/showthread.php?t=142

I just joined this forum after a friend of mine (Supersix) was locked for stating a opinion in an Anandtech forum. He never used any foul language, and has participated in over 1067 posts to date. He has helped answer so many question for so many people and really enjoyed the forum. What is the deal when you can get locked for making an observation about the moderators. I thought forums were supposed to be designed for peoples opinions? Hope I don't get locked for asking this question.
What do you think?

i wanted to join,but nooooooo they just can't handel AOL users.Well screw em all! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

lol j/k. That email block is saying that anandtech is not a good board anyway if they judge all AOL users as a whole http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/icons/icon8.gif

lol - banning AOL members http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

As as Anti AOL Activist, I commend their action.

^-- And I agree .

er, anandWhat?
nope, never heard of it.
don't wanna go there cause it sounds scary

The level of bickering there is despicable, and the pushing of junk hardware was a definite turn off in reviews. So, I see little reason to visit there, but to each his own.

I mean it's weird, ATOT is its own world.... .

We may not be looked at AS a cult, but we ARE one . I mean look at all the stuff here that brings us as a community.
-Parodies (I've NEVER seen another forum with a parody thread)
-Nik's WRONG FORUM posts
-Nef
-TPAD
-DIAF

List goes on, and on.

As a former outsider I can tell you. I thought my friends were weird for hanging out on a hardware forum.

Eh? I was always a nerd.

 

[BrokenVisage]

I think ATOT is more like a chatroom then any other forums I've known, seriously.. there are so many short, quick posts that don't always address the thread topic, like casual chit-chat in 'forum-form'. Nothing wrong with it but it is what it is.. so, nef.

 

[vital]

The first rule of ATOT is you do not talk about ATOT. The second rule of ATOT is - you DO NOT talk about ATOT.

a couple of my friends know i post here...most don't though

 

[acemcmac]

people who don't post on forums think it's REALLY weird :roll:

 

[Orsorum]

My friends know I post here, but the brand of humor I have as a result is kept entirely to the forum. :|

Hopefully they won't lock this thread. I'm serious, I'm waiting for lifers like you to respond to this thread... you well seasoned people should have something useful to say about this .

 

[DrPizza]

beats me... a lot of people I know are aware that I'm online here a lot. They haven't a clue what the place is though.
