not really, not even fully official yet, it will take a long time for anything to happen especially something big as this.

Didn't know they even still made those chips. 

Well, now it's officially dead.

Fair enough.  I've noticed that the same people constantly end up on the WAN Show as topic posters though.  No one new in a long time.  The fact that I don't have the time to spend every waking and sleeping moment finding and posting topics first is the reason I'll never be able to get there, and the reason I so rarely post here.  The LTT forums aren't, apparently, worth my time.

You don't need to crawl around forums and websites every minute to find a topic to make it into WAN show, heck i made it into WAN show with a thread that took me literally 5 minutes to type up, after spotting it on overclockers3d's facebook page whilst randomly scrolling.

Perhaps. That's basically what this topic was for me, I saw it in my Google now feed on my phone. In all honesty though, it's more than just that. Most of the posts I've made on this forum end up with a lot of mocking and/or dismissive comments along with the constructive ones; that alone makes me not want to do much with this site. That said, I suppose there's no getting away from trolls.

I bounce between a few forums.  I go elsewhere if I want serious help or news.  I like this community more for shooting the shit with people and definitely nothing serious.
