old_geekster Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I have been surfing the web reviewing different forums for content and how professionally they are run. I came to a not surprising conclusion --- This is the best forum on the web!! The number one reason is "how professionally it is run". While H_G goes on a tirade from time to time, there is good reason for it. The people on this forum always know what is expected of them. Some may even call him rude at times. I know that I have come back one or two times with my own sarcastic remarks, when he has confronted me. I now understand that it is necessary to maintain order on this forum. First, you must have a signature. Go to other sites and try to answer questions when a sig is not required. You can then understand why he and others police it so closely. Second, no mean-mouthing is tolerated. I get so damned irritated when I spend time on one of the forums that are so petty. They simply are not fun. Last, everyone here is like a large family. I direct as many to this site as possible. Even if they don't own DFI products. I feel they need to see how a great forum is run. This will probably gain some new converts to DFI products. Now, I want to say "Hats off to everyone"! What a great bunch of friends I have found. Thank all y'all for your help!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 i'm only rude because after 2+ years, no other way works I ask nice 150 times, and get ignored I command rudely once and people stop ignoring luckily the forum is a great bunch of users who have common sense so my rudeness is limited to very little of what it used to be ask the mods...i rarely advocate a ban...but if you've been banned, you got what was coming to you for not following the rules or being a jerk. if anyone is gonna be a jerk around here, it is the dude that is bleeding out cash to make sure the forum stays online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleDavid218 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Haha, so many people on other forums talk badly of you. They think you ban people for no reason. Me? I just laugh! Like on AT it's impossible to have any civil discussion because people believe 300w is enough for a high end SLI system and that everyone on DFI Street are a bunch of OCZ fanboys... lol. They even went so far as to say I've been brainwashed. Well, maybe... but it's for the better anyway. I can honestly say I'm more mature because of this forum... just look at my posts when I first came here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 It's simple, you have good leadership, outstanding products and very intelligent people that are kind enough to share their knowledge and opinions to help others who are trying to learn. Great forum indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_geekster Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Well, maybe... but it's for the better anyway. I can honestly say I'm more mature because of this forum... just look at my posts when I first came here! You are a prime example of what I eluded to in this post. There are reasons for the rules. We all hate rules, but they are necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1ick Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 yer i had been to other forums and got talked to like i was a complete idiot. came here on the defencive already and attacked as soon as a mod told me i needed a sig to post. well that was nearly 2 months ago now. I learned pretty quickly that (most) people on here go out tof their way to be helpful and not be a$$ holes like people on other forums. I agree with the PSU issue aswell i did start off with a 430w seasonic but i knew it was only tempoary as i had read that the expert consumes alot of power, and the psu was brought for my old abit board. (after reading an article in customs pc that explained how alot of cheap psu's wont even produce the power they are supposed to be able to) Neways just tghought id say thanks to everyone thats help me and been patient with me. (soundx98 especially) s1ick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
