I will be leaving TPU!
After all the drama in the comments section of our Fermi review, I realized that continuing with hardware reviews and this tech "scene" might not be what I want to do with my time in the future.
So I looked for options out of this mess, and found one, TPU will be operated by a different company in the near future, I will be leaving the site. But fear not, most of the staff will remain here, the site and forums will stay the same in the near future (months). However, I have no idea what's going to change in the long run but I'm sure it will be for the best.
Further info and a more detailed schedule will follow when I have a better idea what will happen with my software projects and other internals of the site.

Best of luck in your future endeavors :)
Edit: As this appears more and more not to be an April Fool's joke, I'm pretty much in shock.... W1zzard's reviews are some of the best (if not THE best) on the web! I can't believe people would give him crap about a service he is providing for free.... If you don't like the reviews, no one is forcing you to be here. But I know, I, and the vast majority of TPU users are nothing but grateful for the awesome, in-depth, reviews that are provided by W1zzard. I will be sad to see him go. :(
Be interesting to see what comes of this, and who these buyers are. Hoping they are not some idiot with too much money that will turn this place in to a "speak out against us and you'll be bandhammered".
I do want to say that this puts a damper on my returning too.
will miss you w1zz (and your awesome reviews - the criticisms were on minor details and were blown out of proportion - but i'd rather have that than reviews like guru3d does, where the review, content, conclusions and bias of the reviewer are all complained about) :cry:
I seriously hope TPU doesn't change (at all) - if it does I'll be off elsewhere.
i may not be very active, but i come here everyday for the last 2 years, w1zz, i will miss u.
You will be missed very much W1z -- I personally hate to see you leave! As always, good luck in your future endeavors.
I think I've said enough.
I'll be sorry to see you go. You are a big part of TPU!
If you're not happy then you're definitely doing the right thing. I wouldn't make a decision from an emotional base though or when you are upset. I'd cool off and then evaluate. Decisions made in a highly emotional state usually = bad.
In any case, I wish you the best with where ever you happen to land :)
If this is no joke, I wish you the best of luck in your future projects, and we will miss you greatly. Your are the only reviewer I trust. :(
