I hope AMD isn't in on this....it just makes them look really bad and desperate to the consumer.

I've accused a few members on here of being Shills. There are AMD shills.. you can tell because they will illogically back AMD up no matter how much knowledge you put forth. They're a disease and worse then Fanboi's. They also tend to post only the upside of one company rather then looking at the big picture.

This is simply amazing, who would stoop so low :) ... Jake, Fredi and crew should ban the IP immediately, or at least demand payment for services rendered.

This kina wreaks of underhandedness does it not?

I do agree about banning the IP.

I do wonder, however, if this trolling is actually sponsored by AMD. It looks more like the developers of the "Virtual Trade Show" might just be trying to pat themselves on the back - or maybe AMD is paying them per site hit.

I dont think it was AMD who instructed them to advertise this way and nor did HP, Sun, Visa, Motorola and many others for that matter.

The company specializes in advertising......what do you expect.

I think they are rather smart.......

Rather than targeting the general public (who may or may not care about PCs), by posting news in forums.......they are bound to get PC interested audiences........

Guess its a loop hole in the system and they've exploit it to the max.........

Yes,... like all those intel payed sites for Core2 benchmarks. If there's one thing AMD has always done well that is RESOURCES' MANAGEMENT; they'd never be so deeply stupid to do these things.
