I am on my way to Germany now.......with a various assortment of torture devices so you can see how we felt yesterday.

While I had my doubts when I saw the time of your post (3/31 @ 11am), I still wasn't too sure. I was looking at the clock thinking that it's still April 1st in Japan when you made the post so I had my hopes up........you sick sick sick bastards! :slap:

I think this thread is a fraud also. I exposed W1zz killing Dan in the last thread and now I know Bta was some how involved. Maybe they lured Dan into thinking there was a beer in a snake tamers basket.

This was not funny to me. First time I have posted was some 5 yeas ago. I have registered specifically to ask if my X800GTO was unlockable. And guess what I have receive answer from wizz asking me to post a value from ATI tool specific for my card and he will look in to if my card was unlockable and it was not. But I talked to Wizz the creator of ATI tool wooow. And now he leaving was not amusing to me.

I knew it! Something just didn't feel right, despite the plausibility.

Now I'm so angry and I hate you so much I want you to go, muhahahaha!!!

Hey, kidding. You even nailed an old skeptical bastard like me. :wtf: Well done. :toast: :roll:

The bar is now raised even higher for next year.

Now, about those dodgy ATI drivers...

I know how you feel Q.
I figured total BS at first, but then when he posted comments over at XS I thought, "Crap he wouldn't take this off site if he wasn't serious."

I was wrong lol.

Well all is not lost. Trying to figure out what was happening and using my l33t googling skills, I now know more about W1zz than probably most around here.
I can always use that for extortion or something. :laugh:
