If you haven't seen that thread, then I would definately suggest you take a look at it. Truly amazing. Take a peek.

Keys if you haven't noticed SickBeast apoligized, he can't take back what he did on that thread but he can apoligize to Rollo for doing something that was inappropriate, that thread was over the top but its over quit beating a dead horse.

A dead horse? That thread was created last night for C-sakes.
You would have a point if his apologies lasted more than a few hours. Look at him now, still carrying on and now even throwing religion into the mix. How far will these people go to get that glorious taste of blood on their tongues? I would absolutely accept any apology, but then don't go right back to doing the same thing again. It renders the apology useless and meaningless. Maliciousness is the only word I can find to describe it.
I am probably as sick of this garbage forum as you are. There is obviously nothing that can be done about it, short of moderation.

perhaps you need a short vacation

He already lives in Florida, so why don't we make it a little more serious?

Life is a vacation in the Baja, isn't it apoppin?

If only you guys knew what snow was like.

I live in NY, but that is in my profile. I know what snow is, I shoveled it all day yesterday.

for me, it would take all of the above points fulfilled and a very lengthy probation. . . .

i am not sure some of you could stand to be on the same forum with him anymore . . .

could you?

Would likely keep me away, but thats not because of this current crisis, so in that sense I really don't count. :sun:

Gamingphreek,

Thanks for the insights of rollo's affiliation with Keys. Gives a clear perspective as to why he defends him vigorously against feeble concepts such as the facts and the truth. Also, please read a bit more into the various links. rollo denied his AEG affiliation multiple times, reported numerous members for "falsely" accusing him of being with AEG and receiving free hardware, until the magic day. Since the AEG/nvidia alliance was first surfaced and rollo's name popped up, his state of paranoia went through the roof. Anyone who'd object his opinion was automatically be slammed and asked "who were you before the ban!?" If you feel that having such an individual on the forums is a positive for the community, then I cannot say anything to sway your opinion. If I could, perhaps I'd be hired by a marketing firm

I see. The word affiliation is now the PC term for "friend". You're a cold bunch.

It's pretty clear that keysplayr was "bought" at a baby shower fueled by internet/AEG funds. :Q

Gamingphreek was obviously overcome by emotion at seeing such a "noble gesture".

Now who else was bought? :Q:Q:Q

Can anyone find out when AEG was hired by Nvidia for this, that would certainly help matters.

I'm a little over half way through the closed 37 page B3D post, but I think ChrisRay said he had been a member for two years. I'd also like to point out that nothing I've read there has changed my stance on the matter yet. Getting free gear to test, and post about online is still getting paid to act as a shill. I'm also of the opinion that just disclosing you're a member of such a group would be more than enough to make it okay in my book. When you read through commentaries on a stock, the author will write whether or not he holds a position in any of the stocks. Revealing this lessens the appearance of impropriety and lets the reader make an informed conclusion as to the merits of the author's opinion.

The "let's keep it secret to prevent our focus groups from being bothered with requests" doesn't work for me. That comes with the territory of being a representitive of the company. The payment of free hardware should more than cover that inconvenience.

they say they weren't told what to post and all three iirc had disparaging posts about nv at times.

while i agree that it would be nice to have their affiliation disclosed, i can understand their decision not to. just take a look at this thread. and over there, even though it is far more civil (what isn't), people acknowledged that when they were in similar situations of receiving hardware gifts that they were bombarded with PMs.

 

[moonboy403]

i think we're just overreacting to all these marketing schemes

i'm sure ati's doing it as well (all corps do)

sure rollo is pro nvidia, but some of the things he say is truly credible and have a point

and i do believe that these aeg people aren't obligated to write pro nvidia comments
since when you receive something from nvidia for free, you'd naturally write something good about it anyway
so there's no need to sign anything to guarantee them a pro nvidia writeups

 

[DidlySquat]

is the rumor true that rollo has been banned ?

 

[moonboy403]

r u serious?!

that'd indeed be sad since he does have some point when he posts

although he might be twisting the facts or manipulating i should say

Hmm, it may affect what you get next though.

edit: I think viral marketing is generally based on positive buzz for your product and negative buzz for all those other products.

 

[moonboy403]

if i'm to receive stuff from either ati or nvidia, i'd be writing positive things about them too!

so is rollo banned?

can anyone confirm this?!

 

[rise]

i think he just left. or thats what he said.

anyway, i agree, thats what i said before. how hard is it to say good things about either of these two companies.

 

[ronnn]

Rollo said on hardocp that he has quit at until things are better moderated. So personally I would guess that he will be back shortly.

 

[moonboy403]

so he's not coming back?

to be honest, how many people would turn down such offers if ati or nvidia were to knock on your door?
not much i'd say

i'd jump on it if i was offered!

this marketing scheme isn't anything new to begin with

think of the detergent free samples that the companies offer?
how about a 2 week free trail of dvd rental from netflix?
and i just cannot believe that ati wouldn't do the same!

sure these aeg people were pro nvidia to state the obvious
but there are just as many die hard pro ati fans

you admitted to not possessing the intelligence to replace a stock HSF on a vid card which even a monkey could do.

I never admitted that at all but keep making up those lies, Edit Kiddie.

wtf does a terrorist that receives no financing from the mid east have to do with Rollo?

No finance from the Middle East? Then tell me Sherlock, where are his funds coming from if not from oil sales from his supporters?

When you spend money on a product you have no way of knowing where said money ends up. It could go to a local charity, a gun running syndicate, or anything in between.

Morph's implication that I'm somehow funding AEG/Rollo by purchasing an nVidia board is just as ludicrous as me implying he's funding terrorism by filling up his car with petrol.

Morph was right on the money, by encouraging rich little kids on this and other forums to buy nVidia and then befriending people here to defend him and help spread the nV marketing propaganda, Rollo was rewarded by AEG for doing a good job and given multiple SLI cards + 512 GTX.

Except this has nothing at all to do with what he said or implied. If you weren't too busy editing your posts because you didn't engage your brain until days after your typing fingers were put into action you'd know this.

Before you reply with your usual half-wit antics, read over what I wrote at least five times to fully comprehend what I just told you since I know you're a bit slow.

Try again, Edit Kiddie.

LOL thats rich, filthy stinkin rich. now do we actually need any more proof that M0RPH is just here to piss on people, who, have been near a nvidia product or nvidia themselve.

saying that buying a nvidia product is supporting AEG/rollo and the other guys is just ludicrous... thats eleventybillion % trash. M0RPH is actually worse than Rollo when it comes to pimping one, dissing the other, at least rollo put in some kind of half decent word for ATI in alot of his post, morphs intent on shooting down anything green...and it seems is willing to make up complete and utter bullshit to try n do it.

the new forum software is needed baddly..... i cant wait to put him on the ignore lists so i dont even have to see his complete shite posts

I don't pay for Rollo's video cards, I pay for mine.

Who do you think ends up paying for Rollo's free cards? The costs get passed on down to the consumer... that's you and every one else here who buys Nvidia.

This is rather ridiculous reasoning don't you think? You purchase petroleum based products with origins from the Middle East don't you? If so how do you feel about paying for Bin Laden's war effort?

BFG, you make the most retarded analogies I've ever seen--not that I'm surprised, after all you admitted to not possessing the intelligence to replace a stock HSF on a vid card which even a monkey could do. But I digress, wtf does a terrorist that receives no financing from the mid east have to do with Rollo?

Again, that isnt even close to how the system works.

im pretty sure he paid for the 7800GTX 512 himself, and the X1800XL which he bought at the same time. no doubt hes recieved free stuff, but i dont think everything he owns ha sbeen provided by AEG.

Nope, he got given the GTX 512mb for free.

 

[Nirach]

eighty pages.

Still flaming?

Apparently.

Grow up. You'd all be willing to do subtle marketing if you were offered free hardware.

And don't try and say you wouldn't, because that'd just be even more bull than this entire forum thread.

This discussion is important, if i would offered free hardware i would say so openly in my signature or otherwise especially if i wrote reviews that i had taken free hardware from a company. Its scary that this discussions on many good old forums around are getting shut down or locked. Its important to get it out in the open. I truly understand if many are angry, i am. Nvidia didnt win over 3dfx with marketing they did it with better hardware.

Its easy to see who are serious when they write and they are interesting to read. Thats the thing you can do as a person against marketing, you can stop looking at tv-commericals etc. But if your friend says to you buy this car its great and then you learn he is paid by the company who made the car, he wouldnt be your friend much longer.
