So, how many of you are "refugees" from other tech forums?

Pickles von Brine

Hello everyone,

Many of you may not know, but I am an old member of OCN (Jan 09) under the name Lord Xeb and am respected (or believe to be) in certain parts of the forum. Over time OCN... it just... changed and wasn't the same as what it once was. Too many elite asshats, moderation changes, etc.The old guard that was once in play was no longer there and it lost something. I decided to find a new home. Someplace not necessarily to start anew, but a place where I could easily share my knowledge and learn. That was LTT. So far, I am glad I did. 

How about the the rest of you? Are some of you "refugees" from other forums? 

Be sure to @Pickles von Brine if you want me to see your reply!

Me. 

 

Still participate at a few forums, and definitely read at ALL of them. 

 

OCN since reg date 07' was about the time I got into overclocking for competitive reasons.

Extreme overclocking forums

Overclockers forums (UK also)

Tech power up

Classic platforms (gone now)

Warp9-systems

[H]are forums

Overclockers AU

OverClockt (gone)

PCmagazine (forums gone)

Extreme systems

 

...... The list goes on. 

Either I read frequently or joined all of them.

 

LTT this year to help other new system builders diag and conquer issues with their PC.

Or share general knowledge and pointers.

 

But I'm a jackass that wont share secrets so dont ask. (Kidding. Most secrets can be Google answered.)

I was on Plane/Train Sim forums for a very long time and then it was the Nexus forums.  

I mainly mod sims and games so I have a slightly different take on things.

Leoville town square. I forget what my user name was on there. It shut down quite a while ago. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

I'm actually surprised to realize I've been watching LTT longer than this forum has been around. I could've sworn it was older.

When I got into the actual desire to learn hardware I tried a few, got banned from a few (TomsHardware was the last one) and then landed here.  This is an awesome forum from my perspective.

Not completely sure, but I think it was a blog for linus and then became a forum on January 1st, 2013. I have never heard him say it was a blog, but in the video he did with Austin Evans on This Is, Austin read a (Pretty good) poem that Linus wrote and said it was on his blog LinusTechTips.com

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Tom's hardware. 

That place has had poor rep for a long time.

I'm not a "refugee" from any other forum. I have participated in a lot of forums over the decades, but I just lost interest in them or they shut down; no one drove me out of them nor did any of them become too toxic or whatever for my tastes. At the moment, this forum is the only one I frequent and so far I have no reason to leave, so you guys will just have to suffer my presence.

Hand, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody’s pocket.

Argued with the same mod on two different posts trying to troubleshoot help someone in 1 week, he sent me a 2 paragraph message explaining his petty behavior of banning me for a week as I shouldn't argue with a moderator - I petitioned it and got zero support so burnt that bridge and left.

I find elitists in general to be an odd type in the online world because they seem to elitist themselves into obscurity. A slow death for anything but certain money loser for internet stuff.

I cannot decipher what your comment was.

 

Why would a guy like me seem odd?

How is elitist themselves into obscurity even a thing??

And what does that have to do with money?

And lastly, what is a strange phenomenon?? 

 

Can you kindly explain so we can know your thought process?

I don't want to argue with you.

I think anyone can tell what I'm saying.

I thought I misspelled a word or something and you were asking me about it lol.

I'm about one of three idiots people on this forum who have either used or come from the backpack.tf forums. Used to use PCPP forums too but I really grew to hate both the moderators and the community there.

Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

they're so 1337 that start looking down on other 13375 that are like them so they get into a spiral of madness that isolates them from the rest of the regular internet as they become unable to share a forum space with poor AMD users or console plebs, in the end they end up alone and die surrounded by boxes of 10900X chips

My team mates aren't like this at all.

They have jobs and spend their own hard earned money. Our hwbot team has no sponsors. We dont get trays of processors.

 

I have some 700 submissions. 90% done on all AmD platforms.

 

How may I be of assistance??
