the new cpu-forum stickies

[ris]

i see no reason my why the management of hwc should be exempt from the rules governing off-topic threads.

the new internet.com cpu-forum sticky has no apparent place in peripherals, software or other forums here that are not cpu related.

advertising openly for trade on boards is something i personally find particularly tasteless, especially as in this case it appears to be an attempt to sideways move members from one part of internet.com's base to another.

yea and besides that isnt amdzone.com sponsered by amd anyways? much more informative to say the least.
Well after visiting and looking at the quality of post, i think most real members that are interested in getting any REAL information about CPU's will stay here and visit the cpu forum. Its just a bunch of spammers wanting to get a free t-shirt.
but i dont think you will gain real members from it.

At the end of the month, we'll ship out
T-shirts to the top posters.

I can't see that working Your going to have people posting simply to raise their post count and Mods/Admins are going to decide which posts are going to count

Spam by any name ,still tastes bad

My thoughts on this topic as posted on another forum:

They did a great service by attracting all the post whores to one location. Now if they could only lock the doors and set the place on fire.

Amazing, they're encouraging the trolls. And what's with his login name?

What?!? You mean people don't like senseless, useless, someother-less, crap on the screen all the time.


I though people liked to be harassed unnecessarially. Shows what I know.
