My yearly visit to Anandtech

[bleeb]

Everyone is trying to get to "lifer" status, but they don't seem to care how though...

I suggest you leave now and never return to this hell hole

 

[CarlKillerMiller]

Well, I'm sure that this thread has given you a very positive snapshot of the ATOT community, what, with the first post being the ever-hilarious "diaf".


I'm sorry you had to come back to see this.

 

[DumbGuy]

Same old. Just a lot more parody threads.

Hey everyone

Yup, my once yearly visit to anandtech. Was last here in Sept 2004, and before that in 2002, when I used to post regularly.

It is changed quite a bit. It certainly doesn't seem quite as friendly as it used to be, lots of profanity, and there seems to be loads of members who post a lot but actually have little or nothing to say! Lots of hostility and flaming too.. old wars never die - Nvidia vs ATI, Intel vs AMD Am not a crusty old bloke wanting the good old days back, just reflecting on change, maybe change in the internet as a whole.

Are all the old timers still around? Viper? Texmaster? BFG10k? A guy who is from Iceland beginning with C? Loads of others, just can't remember the names!

Take care everyone.. will be back at some point!

Tt

so you'll be back same time next year to read the responses?

a year from now things will change again.

• There's this new .net forum thing. It broke a lot.
• Zuni changed his nik to Jason
• Baffled2 changed her nik to Geekbabe and got married to Red Dawn
• HotChic & Linuxboy tied the knot too
• Roger got pissed off and left. Then came back. I think he left again, I havent seen him in a while.
• We got new avatars.
• We got a
• Nik got owned a few times. I also hear he posted 'Wrong Forum' a few times.

[Teatowel]

you are a bit twisted if you think it was more civil when texmaster was around.

I remember him as someone good to argue with, although he came across pretty right wing and Islamophobic, at best.

Czar! That was the name

 

[Teatowel]

Oh yeah, and "diaf" is? Not heard that one before. Best get back to my DOS prompt.

 

[Megatomic]

Howdy Teatowel. Things have changed a lot around here in the last few years. AMD won the AMD vs. Intel flamewar for the meantime, and NV seems to be winning the NV vs. ATI flamewar for now. But P&N is still a cesspool of despair and gloom, avoid it all costs!

Hi there, you probably don't remember me, because I don't post very often either, more lately, but back in '01 I was not posting much. Good advice: Avoid P&N, and OT is bad, but starting to get a little better.

You are so popular here. Why would you leave us?

I'm kidding.

Don't forget to visit the gift shop for a few souvenirs on your way out!

 

[NuclearNed]

Weird - I've had need of BBQ towel before, but never a tea towel.

How was your long stay at Old's basement? Very few make it out alive.

Same shit, different bottle.

Were you gone?

This seems like an actual valid reason for a long stretch necro, quite a rarity on these boards. Welcome back.
