Me too. back in 2001 kyle banned me for some stupid reason, and one of his admins let me back in. then he got so pissed that he felt compelled to personally "attack" me and after our little flame war I was banned and erased me from the database. lots of OCP members followed me out the door that week. that dude is a waste of oxygen.

razor2025 pretty much hit the nail on the head with his post. Kyle is EXTREMELY polarizing. His personality rubs a lot of people the wrong way, and by extension, so do many of his op-ed pieces.

Having said that, referring to members of [ H ]ard|OCP's readership as a "BUNCH OF PU$$IES" likely won't do wonders for Kyle's reputation

I personally frequent [ H ]ard|Forum for their FS/FT but that's really about it. Don't have anything against them though.

Peace

I hate that...absolutely hate that. It's like 90% rate my build post. AT should make a forum just for it..or not allow them. It's general hardware..it's not a freaking ratings system.

I used to like tomshardware forums, then jumping jack was banned and the technical discussions just sucked. Anyone know where he went?

With apologies to TallBill WTF this is in their rules:

2) No OFF-TOPIC posting will be allowed with the exception of the PREMIUM FORUM area. If general conversation is what you want, you have found a new home http://hardforum.com/payments.php


You have to pay for off topic :shocked:

Nothing wrong with that. I pay to post at Ars Technica.
