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.

But I don't think you made a bad decision because, well... I wouldn't like to use my entire life doing reviews.
Best wishes from your unknown known.
But many TPU user will miss you, bro. As you can already see by the many posts.
W1zzard, if that's your resolution, then go for it. (But I seriously hope this is a April 1st joke)
Do you have any idea how many hours he puts in to make this site what it is so you all can come here and get the best tech news, help and insight?
And on top of that he is doing top level reviews of hardware.
And managing any problems with the users and mods.
And dealing with the costs of the board and trying to keep advertising to the minimal so its not in your face.
And I have not ever scratched the surface as he even codes the new board features himself and maintains GPU-Z and his other tools.
Well done, W1zz. WELL DONE !!!
There are few who have done what you have accomplished, we who understand salute you.
Staaaaayyyy! I just have a feeling TPU won't be the same without you behind the curtains...
i've been doing this tech website stuff for so long now .. it kinda gets boring .. hey i remember when i was excited to see 50 registered users on the forums .. then it was 50 registrations a day .. then 50 users online at a time .. 500 .. 1000 .. now we're often at 6000 online and there is no more "kick" in it for me.
same with hardware ... hell was i excited when i went to my first cebit .. now i really hate going to tradeshows .. same old POS every time .. meeting people is great though .. maybe i'm just getting too old .. i dont know.
All of us normal people truly appreciate all your work, effort and dedication. But you have to do what makes you truly happy.
^No sarcasm there. Seriously.
I certainly understand how it can be very easy to get burnt out.
But W1z, you made this site, it will not be the same without you.
