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

[shortylickens]

My three teen-aged daughters exhibit remarkably similar behavior.

What do they like?
Boys?
Music?
Purses?

Jesus. At the end of a day, this is an internet forum. I swear, people take the dumbest things to the extreme. "Anandtech Forums on trial"... Please. All that was missing from this mess of an "article" was a fancy graph and pie chart. What a waste of time.

Mmmm.... Pie.

Yep it's just a freaking internet forum.

and I'd like a slice of peach pie.

 

[MongGrel]

I'm pretty miffed at another forum atm, but why bother.

Their loss. That and I used to provide some pretty good advice on my time and had started folding for them, but that's over.

Sicker and fucking sicker, Shorty. D:

You're just a peach fanboy. Heck you're probably in on the corruption.

I sense an infraction coming your way

Yep.

Now, if a certain party would adopt the same philosophy...

Uh, I guess so? I don't know, they stopped talking to me at 13 and we aren't scheduled to resume contact until 21 or 22.

Oh man I'm sorry, a guy I work with has three teenaged daughters who are obsessed with One Direction. He secretly got them tickets to a concert upfront, spent $900 on them. When he and his wife were just toying with them proposing the idea of going to a Bruno Mars or Katy Perry concert, my coworker captured them on video wailing for a good ten minutes like little babies off the teet. Omfg. I'm sorry bud.

Lol.

Guys, guys... I just found out that if you're not an asshole the mods don't give a shit about your posts. *head asplodes*

 

[John Connor]

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.

:thumbsup:

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Went 12 years before getting my first and only minor infraction (which still puzzles me).
Honestly, I just treat most mods as normal posters, and for the most part just steer clear of VC&G and P&N.

If and when I do peek in and get pissed, I just head over to the Babe thread for some angry batin'

 

[OCGuy]

Gee, who would have thought this had nothing to do with AT, and everything to do with this UK idiot trying to start his own tech site by hitting the biggest guy in the room. Time to add "delusional" to "narcissistic" :biggrin:

 

[OverVolt]

I disagree with him because alot of his complaints address "thread crapping" but he never shows the OP or intent of the thread. A thread is more than just two posts. I've never had problems with the moderators and I flip between AMD and Intel fanboy pretty regularly.

 

[John Connor]

I'm personally an Intel/Nvidia fan boy. So maybe I won't get a warning or infraction for thread crapping? HA! LOL

Well, if he was more focused on drama, and less on tech, his site could be going places, evidently.

[OverVolt]

So what? Just because the person didn't pay to be here doesn't mean that his/her objections are not valid. Just because it might not affect you personally doesn't mean these aren't valid complaints. Stop trivializing something that obviously bothers the author of that article.

Well I didn't get into what I presume to be a 17 year battle with the moderators for starters.

 

[OverVolt]

Dear SiliconWars,

You have received an infraction at AnandTech Forums.

Reason: Trolling 6 moderators, being so dramatic that it required Anand to intervene, and in general not a nice person.

 

[shortylickens]

Sicker and fucking sicker, Shorty. D:

Thats nice. And if your opinion mattered I'd probably care more.

 

[raasco]

Now If we could just get him to dig out the truth about the dossiers......

 

[beginner99]

It wouldn't surprise me if silicionwars actually is a woman. I mean he/she takes everything completely personal. Just like a woman would react and not a man.

Looking for your next "My Girl," eh?

Is techsoda an AMD fanboy site?
I mean come on, what type of website post articles like this? The author sound like a complete nut case.
