I will be leaving TPU!

Mar 31st, 2010 12:09 Discuss (869 Comments)

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.

FrickMaybe we can create an entire section all about hot babes!

I should warn, at my last forum I started a thread about boobies. It got to 40,000 posts and lasted till the forum got shut down. It ended up being the only reason some people went there.

Change is hard~
But change is the only constant we can count on!

Take a vacation W1zz and unwind; or sell the site for millions.?.

Man, tough choice:)

Wish you wouldn't leave, my brother is the one who pointed this site out to me, and showed me how awesome your reviews are. It won't be the same without you.

f the next gpu review is not reviewed bt w1zzard, then i only 1/4 believe w1zzard was leaving

when fermi derivatives or hd 5890 out, and wizzard still not the one who review them, then i only 1/2 believe he was leaving

and when hd 6 series or fermi 2 out, and still, w1zzard not review them in here, then i will believe he was leaving

it's just like losing your father of GPU review, the one who feed you with what you need in buying, bashing, fanboying, spending money in GPU

Polaris573I'm glad. W1zzard told me the new people know what they are doing and realize how TPU works, but can't he discuss contract details at this time. So I really urge everyone to stick around, see what the future brings, and stop being so fatalist because the future has infinite possibilities and a lot of them are great. It's not like W1zzard is dying.

and for what it's worth I'll be here for the near future to help maintain some type of continuity.

I call BS on this. I know what REALLY happend..... W1zz killed Dan. How do I know? Because Dan hasn't been in this thread bragging about how hes going to ban everyone once W1zz is gone. W1zz isn't bored or tied of the drama. He killed DAN and is now flying to Venezuela to spend the rest of his days smoking pot and rolling Latino hookers.

God speed my friend.

On a side not I am also staying. If I left it would make to many people happy.

Lets all help W1zz take a vacation. He can Bed and Breakfast it at all of our houses!!! Serious. That way he can relax and save a ton of cash plus, meet the people who admirer him sooooo much! I'll let him have one of my apartments for as long as he wants!

if just comments on review can drive the reviewer off his position / site

then certain corporations must be quite happy ...
i mean this guy wrote some truth about our bad product,
lets send some lemmings in mass numbers from our 'fanboy' club over his site and get him fired/leave

Um yeah it really had nothing to do with the review. Its about where W1zz is in his life. He needs a change. Something new for him to work toward. This site no longer fills that gap.

Or he killed Dan like I suspect.

Wizzard should post a pic of himself before he leaves too, so we know "the man behind the wizz"

All the best in wherever this takes you. I frequent TPU largely because of the excellent reviews and a great community of folks. Sad to see changes but you need to do what is best for you.

Thanks :toast:
