lol i was wondering if it'd be an epic troll

well done

(i liked the CUDA emulator more)

Kreij · Apr 3, 2010

I think since BTA was involved in this at the highest level, that giving him a little crap is not out of line.

BTA, you insensitive, uncaring... lol ... I can't do it. LOLLOLOL
Never trust the news guy.

Great job you two. :toast:

Nah, W1zz doesn't need us to succeed and we don't need him to survive.

But the great thing is that he appreciates all of the support we have given him as members of the community on his site, and we appreciate the support he has given us as members.
He's gone out of his way to listen to everyones suggestions and has made changes to the site based on communiity response (unheard of on other sites).

Two words ... TPU Rocks.

Never EVER believe in coincidences guys. This big of news so close to April 1st? Obvious really! You had me fooled though, although a majority of us did think April Fools.

dunno, i think the results are invalid and w1zz needs to do it all over again running cat 10.3

n-ster · Apr 3, 2010

pfff, I bet it was to see how much he would get offered, and if he doesn't think it is enough, he'd call it an April fool

(EDIT: if anyone didn't get it yet, I am joking

)

Yeah w1z cannot review worth crap he needs to redo every review done in the past year because he is biased towards one company. First the deal with ATI to make the NVIDIA cards look like crap, now he has this deal with ASUS and GPU-Z. It is one big conspiracy I tell you!

NastyHabits · Apr 3, 2010

Thank goodness! That was some joke. I, like many others, am truly relieved. I enjoy this forum and have relied in W1zzard's reviews since I first came on here and was convinced to purchase my Gigabyte P-35 and an HD 3850.

However, I do hope in the future that people will pause and count to ten before posting in anger.

DRDNA · Apr 3, 2010

lol....Thank goodness...I am an old fart still trying to get over my parents divorce and thought i was going to have to go threw it all over again here in my TPU home :cry:

But now all is good and the children have learned a short lived lesson

Triprift · Apr 3, 2010

I can confirm i was 100% fooled just so happy for once i got had lol.

Kreij · Apr 3, 2010

Well it's been a fun (and exasperating for some of us who bought it) few days.
I'm glad W1zz is not going anywhere soon.

Time to get back to work helping TPU'ers where I can, so I am out of these 4/1 threads.
See you all in the forums. :toast:

Triprift · Apr 3, 2010

Sure thing hit squad man back to reality.

fenurch · Apr 3, 2010

Although I was completely and absolutely un-aware of this (due to my lack browsing through TPU forums) but anyway, even the odd time when I look at any GPU tests, I think 'Jeez, how long does it take to even do' since they're usually about 20 pages

Anyway, great to know that you'll provide us with your precious intel for yet, longer.

Cheers w1zz

EDIT: A bit off topic but isn't this like the fastest growing thread ever? It has populated 11 pages of rage and appreciation within the last, 8 or so hours (I guess but haven't checked the timestamps). So w1zz, now you know how much we all love you (no homo though for the majority of us anyway)

Removes W1zzard from BC2 friends list

Oh wait you aren't there

Well I'll go remove some of my thanks to you, not only you made me sad but you made me read ALL of the 'I'm leaving thread' and wasted few hours of my life

edit: took out 4 thanks (rest were too usefull to remove :slap:
