What is happening to this forum recently? the last few months have been awful on here. I'll say it again, it's some kind of a wave of new age hipsters who decided to take guru3d forums down. And they're doing it, it's happening, the standard is dropping quick. Very quick.

Idk, the thread with watchdogs mod I think brought in a ton of people from the outside. Like it seemed after that day there was a huge influx of new accounts of people I've never seen before (I've been on this forum a long time). Obviously with any influx of new people you get good people and bad people. The user h4mony for example is someone I've seen posting recently with some great content and contributing useful information (even when I disagree with his/her point). Like I don't agree with a lot of people on this forum about certain stuff but if you're posting constructively I usually take a completely different approach then someone who is just flamebaiting/making stupid comments. Also I think there has been a lack of moderation as of late? I know Deltatux seems to have disappeared. Finch has been gone for a while, rflair seems to be active along with Hilbert, obviously, but I dunno about the rest. Not a big deal though, eventually they'll get weeded out. I usually don't bother responding to most stuff when I know it's just flamebaiting but the Apple threads just bother me. I still like this forum a lot better then various others I post on.

So let's get one thing straight, what other threads you read do you have in mind, because those are some pretty serious accusations right there buddy, you better back it up with something substatnive other than vague accusations.

Oh, idk, does the dual 290x asus card ring any bells? I would hardly call the bait tactic an opinion.. "why would i buy this POS when i can get x" where x is generally unrelated to topic at hand.

The lack of moderation is in one word frightening. Hilbert is looking into it as we speak.

Wouldn't hurt to have a few extra around.

Yeah what about that thread sweetheart? That is the same exact case, I expressed my opinion and then I was beign swarmed by trolls that tried to derail the thread.

There is a difference between expressing your opinion and expressing your opinion in the way you did. Your first post on this thread was this:

Wow, I mean who would pay money for this overpriced crap, for 2500 $ I can assemble an enthusiast end PC along with all the peripherals and a 144hz Gsync monitor.

The first sentence is clearly flamebaiting. You could have easily said "I think this is overpriced because I don't see the necessity of a 5K monitor with such a weak PC to drive it. Additionally, I could build a more powerful system with slightly less resolution at a much lower price. Sure you would make some trades in image quality and stuff but overall I think it would give you a much better bang for the buck". Had you wrote that I think a lot more people would have respected your opinion even though I still would have disagreed.

And what did you expect from basically posting "this is a POS"
