[Techsoda] "Anandtech forums on trial: The corruption runs deep."

This seems like a lot of work for a fairly petty issue (if there even is an issue):

"Please note (for bandwidth reasons) that the article is extremely image-heavy. This is also why the article is split over 13 pages – at over 14000 words and 125 images there was no sensible alternative."

Opinions?

seems like someone spent some time here...

also after the bullshit with ROLO and the NIvida focus group does anyone really seem shocked at the guys allegations?

 

[DesiPower]

Didnt read all of it but most of the complaints and issues about the forum sound legit

 

[lupi]

[UncleWai]

The time spent to write up that shit, he probably could have found tue cure for cancer.

Sour grapes.

This reminds of the great Rollo debacle in video back in 05-06. Lots of agitating and trolling. Turned out to be paid guerrilla marketers.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

Wasn't this guy over in the personally forum issues a while back?
TBH, the only problem I've ever had with the site is the mod-callout policy. I understand not wanting rampant callouts, but locking it into a mod specific forum could lead to things like lack of outside opinion and mod bias. I've never been so I couldn't say for sure though. (Overall they seem nice)

100% agree with this.

Posting in hopefully epic thread.

This thread totally deserves its place in the annals!
And the linked opus should remain linked, because with all that work put into writing that, he should be rewarded.

...now to reading what he actually wrote

 

[surfsatwerk]

OMG I totally recognize the guys in his screen caps. It's like I'm almost famous.

 

[TwiceOver]

Wait. There's a review site with the same name?

 

[shortylickens]

I dont necessarily agree or disagree with his message, but that does seem like an awful lot of work when its really just someone unhappy with a forum. Its better to just talk shit and then forget about it.

 

[surfsatwerk]

Wait. There's a review site with the same name?

It's all about smartphone and computer shit, nothing appealing to me at all.

Anandtech Forums are serious business.

i'm not reading that lenghty butt hurt article, but does he at least mention how fucking terrible the forum software here is, and how it's been this terrible for YEARS now at this point? i mean shit, just this thread alone has a timewarp issue that seems to come back every month or so like the forums are having it's period. then we have the "maintenance" crap that happens weekly, and general slowness daily.

 

[shortylickens]

Also: Good read, many lulz. Had much laugh.

As long as the ad revenue keeps pouring in, why give a shit?
