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.

W1zz, we all totally respect what you do here, those of us that bench, tweak, bench and tweak, and finally achieve nirvana with our hardware understand what you do. Those assholes who don't and can only post their uninformed, uneducated, total shit opinion of point and click shit user ideas don't deserve the ability to continue and post to drag this community down.
Who here has actually spent the time to write software, debug it, test the shit out of it, submit it to peer review and have the balls to continue. I didn't. I stopped after a few people started whining. Fucking assholes.
My list....
I've had two in total and that was a while back. Both unfairly given in my opinion.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you, w1zzard, with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me, when my gpu over heats, your software alerts me, when i am alone your forums keep me company, when I look to me left and you, w1zzard, have walked with me.
lame but whatever
Sorry mods. He was asking for it.
maybe it has to do with years of dealing with noob bullcrap? Or maybe I just never retired like I should have from this game. 30 years old this year and feeling it some days. I started in 94' at computers. Started in the glory days when the internet was young and anything was possible. Today it has grown to more than most of us dreamed, and so large it takes what feels like months of time to keep up.
who did you insult? :o
"looks at mailman:rolleyes:"
Thanks for giving me a little home away from home! :toast:
Thank you for your great un-biased reviews! :toast:
I just hope that you are doing it for all the RIGHT reasons! :cool:
You will be GREATLY missed! :(
I would say that i am going to abandon TPU also,like others have said,BUT,i love this place too much to make such a rash decision like that. I'll leave that one as a "Time will Tell" :ohwell:.
I dont understand why you just don't take a LONNNNG break and hand down some responsibilities to others.Then just sit back and relax and enjoy what you have created.(kind of like a Grandparent would do).Though,you have your own reasons.
What ever you do though,My kindest thought's travel with you.:)
And again. THANK YOU
It really sucks to see you go. When selling tpu, don't forget that it is YOU who gave rise to this incredible website, and it is your blood sweat and tears that got this site to be the way it is. I really do appreciate all that you've done for TPU, and the hard work you've put into the great software you've released (such as gpu-z, tpucapture, and atitool).
I would like to wish you the best of luck for all of your new endeavors and hope that you are just as successful in whatever you choose to do as you have been here at TPU.
Thank You for all that you've done.

Doesn't thanking him on that post means thanking him for leaving ?
