[rant]

I like these forums very much. I am often here and try to contribute as much as possible, to the best of my limited knowledge. I find there are many discussions that are worthwhile reading.

On the other hand, much of the enjoyment in these forums in being taken away by flame wars between Intel vs. AMD fanboys, and nvidia vs. ATI fanboys.

That's just CHILDISH.

Many threads that start up as a very interesting discussion often endup as a war between fanboys. It's getting old already.

So there it is, my rant about these childish people, who take pride in these little wars. Stop already.

Just filter through the garbage and you'll find great info on this site.

Please accept my apologies, I admit pushing loyal amd users buttons. I try to keep my fanboying to a minimum.

I've posted a similar rant in some "LOLZ ATI ZOMG DEAD" thread, so I agree competely.

I think everyone here should listen to Anamanaguchi and chill out.

Flamers won't read this thread. They are busy flaming.

I agree 100%!! That is why I dont come here all that often anymore. Nothing like a bunch of people starting flame wars in a good post that some is lokking for help in.

It's out of hand & I dont think there is any moderation here. I think most of the guys that flame are only looking for thier post counts to increase hoping that people will think they are knowledgeable about hardware.

When you reach a certain level, it doesn't bother you anymore, and the things said don't inspire "righteous indignation" anymore. You still make acidic comments on stupidity, but overall, the flame wars just become a source of entertainment. Then you become like prozac (indifferent and witty) or me (sarcastic and morose).

I am in no way a computer expert and after reading the amount of knowledge on the subject, posted by some of the people here, I wonder if I should even consider myself an "enthusiast" , but I have to agree.
I often read the first few post and quit for this reason.
So what if "x" is beating the crap out of "y" at the moment.
I come here because I am looking for knowledge.
Thus the low post count ,that and my ignorance of the details.

I am not flaming!

look at this nice pm i get:

"Third, if your posts werent so insanely one sided and full of crap you wouldnt be in this situation to begin with. "


"Thats a great website btw. I bet it hurt that tiny wittle brain of yours to learn all that really difficult HTML."

"Dont worry about your ban. Ill stop by the abuse department on the way in to my ISP network engineering job. Im sure your website appearing on every blacklist on the face of the planet will keep you busy for a month or so. Or perhaps I should accidentally redirect one of those Avici TSR OC-48 blades to your house. You know us rednecks and numbers longer than ten get confused. Im sure you can understand if it takes a few days to get that traffic back to normal."

"Dont worry about that email reply, I dont think mommy has it in the budget to spring for little johnnys next computer. Youll just have to go out and get a job of your own this time. "

Just what I would expect from an AMD fanboy such as yourself.

that's low dude! really he makes a do not flame post and u flame him!omg you have no conscience

Major, if you had taken the time to at least read the sig, you'd have noticed I am no AMD fanboy. I like Intel as much as I like AMD. Three of my 6 machines are AMD, although my main rig is a P4.

I do admit intel at the moment has great products and which I wish I had a C2D right now. I do, however, hope AMD can get out of the hole it's got itself into. It's best for the sake of all of us.

I also like nVidia as much as ATI... and I have both (my 2ndary machine has a Radeon 9800)

I like Windows as much as I like Linux... and I use both.

it will happen on every website, specially when theres inflamatory stuff in the post tittle & stuff.

I disagree, man. I believe the cause is more because of each person's individual level of education.

could be, but you cant deny that inflamatory tittles on post DO atract flamers

As an avid reader and occasional poster on these forums since 2002, I can tell you that these flame wars and fanboys have always and will always continue to exist. Just skip through the garbage and pay attention to the worthwhile stuff.
