Chainsaws - and other stuff

[amdxborg]

Oh yeah...one big secret coming up...

 

[conjur]

DanC has happened upon a WMD?

WU of Massive Data?

I don't know what this thread is all about but my uncle owns a business (that my mother works at) that sells Stihl chainsaws and other Stihl products. Suffice to say I'm big believer that Stihl makes the best chainsaws.

LMAO...

From a certain insignificant, and over-self-important-soon-to-be #4 in a certain project forum....

"Nice. That'll help teach AnandTech a BIG lesson!! "

Oh... I'm busting a gut here. Help me out will ya guys? :Q :beer:

 

[4me2calso]

Thanks for the welcome guys. So I guess you have to have a certain # of points in some project in order to be part of "the team". I admit I am new to DC, but not THAT new. In looking for a home, this is the 1st one I've seen with "prerequisites".
Not for me. I'll go elsewhere & take my "Mpts" with me. Wonder how many others you've scared off with this--just a "junior member" attitude. Good strategy!!

I'm helping keep the ecc2 team alive (even if it's on life support), and no one bothers to let me know. DanC is about to push US-D down a notch in the rankings. *yawn*

 

[DanC]

down a notch

Thanks for the nice thought... but an incorrect assessment, n0c.

Besides... If that were to happen -- it certainly wouldn't be ME doing it. I'm a "minor" player anymore in DPAD. I'm merely vocal. There's some pretty heavy hitters in the TeAm.... of which -- I'm merely a member.

 

[n0cmonkey]

*poof*

Not worth it.

Good luck guys.

 

[DanC]

4me2calso,

Show me where anyone said you needed a certain number of points to be a member of the team. If you hadn't noticed... there's a certain amount of "bantering" that goes on within DC. You pop into a "banter" thread - throw down a thinly-veiled demand for information ... and a "banter" is thrown back to you. (did you notice the "winky?" That means "I'm joking with you" in computer-talk.

Now - if this little exchange causes you to stomp off in a huff - I suspect you'll not find DC of any sort to be to your liking. Things occasionally get a wee bit heated in heavy races.

A. Lighten up.
B. Get over it.

Nobody Pi$$ed in your cheerios - you just chose to take it that way. You're also dealing with a team that's seen it's share of spys from the other teams attempting to infiltrate, and wreak havoc. So - how many Mpts are you "stomping off" with anyway? <--- take careful note of the "winkie"... it means in computer-talk - that you're being "jested with."

 

[n0cmonkey]

Spies? In DC? Wow, that's just amazing. I thought it was bad enough that I check my stats every couple of days.

 

[DanC]

*poof*

I'd be happy to GET stats every few days.

 

[Unforgiven]

lol you guys are gonna quit over not knowing what a "secret" is because you dont feel its in a team concept? LOL, you're kidding right? i hope this doesnt offend anyone too deeply but if you guys cant take posts in jest and realize that people in DC projects tend to poke fun of each other a lot on here, then frankly i dont think you should frequent ANY forum online and should, in that case, probably not even own a computer or do anything other than browsing for drapes on walmart.com. furthermore, arent we all in this for a common goal as a team? i mean does what one member of our entire team posting about something in jest that you particularly dont care for mean that he speaks for everyone and that the rest of the team is trash? no offense but if that's your attitude then i think YOU arent being the team player and frankly thats childish! :| i really hope im interpreting these posts wrong and that you guys arent quitting. just remember, its a whole team, not one person. as danc said, hes only one person on the team, although hes a very heavy hitter and mass producer , dont bail on us all because of something like someone saying things in jest that were taken out of context...

 

[n0cmonkey]

I think the issue has been solved thanks to DanC's more than amiable personality. Team anandtech is lucky to have members like him.

 

[BlackMountainCow]

US-D is down now anyways ....

Heh been a nice good fun thread to read so far and as an angler I appreciate the skilful application of presentation and technique. The creel holds promise of fillets for all.

Unfortunately as much as we try to prevent it, we seem to get some of our own caught in the trawl netting. Best thing I guess is to ease them out before they get confused and drown, or struggle and cause hurt whilst thrashing about. More frightening is when a passing mullet throws in "a line" and has a better hookup rate than we were getting with far better gear. Better to be an angler than a fish anyways.


<singing> I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok, I sleep all night and I work all day,
He's a lumberjack and he's ok, he sleeps all night and he works all day,
I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I love to press wildflowers.............<fades>

McCulloch Chainsaw in hand I wander out of the Sahara Rainforest (it was before I got there) and skip into the distance.
