Why is THG regarded as an Intel fanboy site?

Just a question really, I have never regarded this site as an Intel only site, so why do other people think so? There are so many sites saying THG is biased. I'm honestly lost on why they think this, I have always found everything to be unbiased.

The site goes through phases. Anyone saying it's intel biased right now is obviously not even visiting this site.

[Blunt post] Because they're dumbasses!
People just use perceptions from nowhere, or even use past accusations and apply them on the new articles for fun. I second DH (OMG! :tongue: ), they don't even know what's up around here lately. You'd have to be a serious fanboy to even comment against the new K8s out against the Prescotts.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ask Kanavit how Intel biased this forum is. He can't post without getting assulted by 10-15people. Sometimes he says stupid stuff, but occationally he does make sense. If anything i would say this forum is slightly in favor of AMD. All things being equal i would say its ever so slightly for AMD....People are funny, and smelly, but mostly funny.

95% of Kanavit posts are full of $hit

95% of them HAVE sh*t, but i wouldn't say 95% of the content is sh*t. He is mislead and hopelessly a fan of intel. But thats his choice. He can justify himself anyway he wants. He does spin the truth, spit out misleading information, and flat out lies. but he does occationally say something halfway smart.
my point was just that, for an 'intel only' site, there arn't many kanavit's. In fact they are attacked and rediculed.

Easy answer, it's because those people are BIASED, and the EXPECT PRO AMD BIAS on ANY site! Any attempt to be UNBIASED is perceived by them as bias against them, because their favorite site panders to their BIAS! You can tell them that the only reason they're saying that is because of their own BIAS, and tell them I said so. Being that I'm one of the most well known computer forum personalities on the planet AND a professional review writer, if they say "who the hell is Crashman" you can tell them their ignorance is further proof of their BIAS! w00t!

You know you're getting online fame when you meet people IRL that know you from your OL nick.

Your'e just saying that to get the forum riled...this site mostlt argues "Bang for the Buck" not touting one brand.

The truth is out there...and unfortunately so are the LIES

Actually, I wasn't aware that tomshardware.com was ever regarded as a fanboy site for any manufactuer. I dispute the premise of the question, as well as the preceptions of these "other people". Establish that tomshardware.com is <i>widely</i> regarded as a fanboy site, then we have a premise we can accept and examine.

Very well, look here:

http://www.anandtech.com/linux/showdoc.aspx?i=2158

Click comments near the bottom of the article, and read through them. Multiple references to THG being biased.

Another sign is AMDzone never posts any news articles that link to THG. Also, check their forum, plenty of references there.

Again, I don't agree with any of it.

HOW DARE THOSE PEOPLE.....I love AMD. Like i have said many times before, If AMD were a woman i would stalk her AND MAKE HER LOVE ME!!!

What do you call a group of midgets? A pack, gaggle, a pride, or maybe just a murder?

I don't see any reference to tomshardware.com

Partly fermented, which is naturally enticing anyway.
