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.

now we are going to have some tool with deep pockets running this place with no rhyme or reason other than technology being a lucrative investment.
no thanks you cant buy me.
Why do I get the feeling that if w1z leaves, next year at this time, this forum will be a total POS, with crappy biased reviews?
I also beg and urge you to reconsider w1z. Pawn the video card reviews off on somebody else. Hell, pawn most of the Admin tasks off as well, but don't leave altogether. We need you to keep a say on how this site is to be run.
Imagine if this place is run by someone like Charlie Dermijian (sp?)
Pawn off some more responsibility to others. Sit back and mod the mods. But don't leave man. Really.
. . . but, personally, I couldn't think of anywhere else to head too - no other community has the same "feel" that TPU does. As well, it wouldn't be the same without the majority of our regulars, and the quirky bantering that comes with regular users communicating with each other over long periods of time.
<sigh>
But, it's true what they say . . . all good things must come to an end.
Sad - I didn't expect it from this community anytime soon.
I spend so much of my free internet time on here and you all are one of the best and most knowledgeable group of guys I've ever met, especially some of you who are saying you'll leave if W1z does. I view all of the site's reviews as some of the best and fairest around. It would be a tragedy for this site's reputation to be ruined by some slick-haired businessman looking to make a few bucks.
GMT +8 for me.
