ATI hires HRC PR Firm

[josh6079]

keysplayr2003, Ackmed isn't an HRC member for all we know. Don't start asuming things unless you really have evidence--too many people have been called shills so far. In this thread he began defending HRC because he doesn't see them as bad as AEG. Granted, we haven't seen what HRC strategies are, but we know that they partake in viral marketing, which from what the Anandtech forums have seen, isn't a very good thing. Also, I don't think AEG nor HRC members can publicaly discuss two cards by different companies in positive ways. I'm willing to bet that when Ackmed had his SLI rig setup before the X1*** series he had some positive things to say about them.

I just don't see why Ackmed seams to spread lies. Now I know this takes some intelligence, but who in their right mind is going to believe that AEG publicly admitted to spreading fires on their site? That is ridiculous. It seams painfully obvious that Ackmed is distorting quotes and that act in itself is very suspicious.

If Ackmed can explain to me why a company would want to publicly admit to crime, then I will be a monkey's uncle but untill then I will take what ever he says with a salt block, please.

I just ripped half the page from AEG's site here if you want to look at the rest for yourself, but yes, they do claim that for crisis management, they will implement fires, minsinformation, etc.

So no, about that part, Ackmed isn't lying.

 

[Wreckage]

Well at least we have something to discuss until the G80 comes out.

Funny after all the "AEG" sigs, no one has added "HRC"

 

[redbox]

Ok from that it says to me that it will help with fires, say that your plant catches on fire it will help with pr to help the public understand your whole company didn't go down in flames.

I suppose that could be true about the crisis management. At first I thought of it as them implementing rumors, fires, etc. to keep public hype up or quell bad news.

I wonder what pr firm you should hire to help with pr if your plant is flooded with water, since this guys clearly only can handle the pr when your plant catches on fire.

Heh.. that's what I thought when I read "fires, misinformation,..." So how do they manage misinformation? Do they spread it or put it down?

Do you really not have any idea what Crisis management means? When there is an incident (Crisis) of either mis-information being spread about a client, a rumors spreading about a client, a leak about a client's product or plans, or fires (marketing term) starting about a client, then AEG will help manage it. Hence why it's listed under Crisis Management. It has nothing to do with viral marketing, or even marketing for that matter.

It amazes me at how willing people are to try and trash something they have no grasp of and think they have some kind of expertise on this issue.

Maybe that's because Ackmed conveniantly chose to leave out what it really had to do with in many of his posts. :roll:

 

[redbox]

Where is Ackmed? I would like to ask him these questions. Did he not read the Bold Header saying crysis management? Does he really think that a company would publicly admit to fires, without any criminal charges being brought against the company? I don't doubt that he buys Nvidia cards but that fact alone doesn't get him out of having to have deductive reasoning!

Dude, Joker can you explain what Ackmed was thinking? It sure looks like he was conveniantly misquoting the site. How else can you explain it. Please don't accuse people of trolling without a very good excuse.

Go back a few pages and read his post and you'll understand what I was talking about. Actually I'll save you the trouble, here's the dude's post to me:

I'm beginning to think this guy is beggerking or his long lost idiotic twin. As for Ackmed, I don't speak for him so I can't tell you what he's thinking or not. If you're so curious about it, PM him.

I know the irony of the situation pains you terribly. Maybe you can use this pain to help root out these nefarious individuals and rid this forum of corruption and chaos.

I was just referring to the sigs in general, not their accusatory tones or list of names.

While a marketing focus group may not cause you to act the way you do, what does? Some here have accused you of being "as bad as Rollo", that's got to hurt.

Either way its clear that ATI needed help in the marketing department, I hope HRC can improve their image (this thread not withstanding). However those who bashed NVIDIA unjustly in the now deleted AEG thread, enjoy your plate of crow.

 

[redbox]

I guess I could pm Ackmed. I don't think it is beggerking. BeggerKing has much stupider comments. I don't agree with Nelsieus's definiton of a troll. Rollo was here for a long time and still I consider him a troll. I do think he brings up a valid point though with regard to Ackmed leaving out improtant information when quoting.

Do you have a secret list of these nefarious individuals or are you talking out of your ass as usual?

The vast majority of those sigs mentioned specific AEG shill names and that's exactly what you were referring it.

While a marketing focus group may not cause you to act the way you do, what does? Some here have accused you of being "as bad as Rollo", that's got to hurt.

The only ones accusing me of being as bad as Rollo are the same people that worshipped his shadow (including you). So I guess going by your standards, this must be a good thing.

Either way its clear that ATI needed help in the marketing department, I hope HRC can improve their image (this thread not withstanding). However those who bashed NVIDIA unjustly in the now deleted AEG thread, enjoy your plate of crow.

Nobody's eating any crow because there isn't one shred of proof yet that ATi has shills on any forum. Until we see evidence of this, this is just hopeful speculation by a bunch of nVidia fans looking to get some revenge for their beloved nVidia.

Joker, you are aware that by posting what you just did you have become by definition, a troll again. Intentionally antagonising several posters i'm not gonna bother naming.

There is no evidence of viral marketing on AT by HRC so no names can be put in sigs as you said. However, people can put HRC Defenders in their sigs if they want to, there's one or two names that could be put there.

Oh and thanks for that info on the 7900GS Go, i'll be putting an order in for one on Tuesday (damn bank holidays).

Yes, I know what Crisis management means. What does that have anything to do with my first impression of a quick glance at the page? Their wording is slightly goofy.

And I didn't try and trash anything, or claim I was an expert.

Don't know of any and don't care.

If you know exactly what I was referring to then you know you that you are wrong, how insightful.

The only ones accusing me of being as bad as Rollo are the same people that worshipped his shadow (including you). So I guess going by your standards, this must be a good thing.

I never accused you of that. I was just pointing out that your clear and present trolling was drawing attention. Maybe that's what you want. It's a little sad, but if it works for you enjoy.

Nobody's eating any crow because there isn't one shred of proof yet that ATi has shills on any forum. Until we see evidence of this, this is just hopeful speculation by a bunch of nVidia fans looking to get some revenge for their beloved nVidia.

If you could quit typing with one hand and wash up a bit you would see that it goes beyond how Rollo terribly violated you and that both sides use a similar method of marketing.

Sigh. The retort of a mentally debilatated 12 year old is the best you could come up with?

A gay comment? How original. How about "your mom" or "I pwnd you"? :roll:

Clearly you could not comment with anything relevant and you have resorted to insults because you have an inferiority complex. Good luck with that.

The issue is still clear regarding the hiring of a viral marketing company and the people who used to be against such things.

Actually it's perfect. For those who have said that Joker was not as bad as Rollo the above post is proof. He's worse.
