Toms hardware (British/American?)

[frankieonpcin1080p]

So I was recently browsing the forums and I came across to interesting threads;1.System picks Sweepstake, 2.Builder Marathon sweepstake. Found out both were doing giveaways of a computer system or parts.Went to sign-up. Found out it's limited to 'RESIDENTS OF THE USA'...
Is Tom's Hardware British or American? Because I find the matter of fact that I can't enter into a competition that may or may not allow me to actual have something better than the Dell PC I can only afford.

Toms hardware started in the US. By Dr. Thomas Pabst, a german native studying in the US in 1996.
It was then sold several times.
It is now owned by a French company, Best of Media.
They have several different sites for different languages around the world.

Yes our sneaky French overlords have invaded and are plotting to put McQuailburgers on the menu at McDonalds, and French sticks in Tony Romas.

Le Hooters will have an afternoon review of cancan dancers ...

Waiters will all have a napkin, and the obligatory moustache...

Customer Service will include some abuse ...

Art may make a comeback ...

So is this considered a Hijacked thread?
I still like Reynod,s first answer much better than my original. Although it was precise and correct.
Carry on!!! Especially with the part about Australia fixing France's major problems.

Actually the French admins and moderators are already preparing a revolution ... a REAL revolution, not a Steve Jobs one.
But I guess the moderators Aussies / Kiwis / yankees / tea drinkers can join us if they want to shout BoM's head off.

I could care less. I just thought it was funny that a moderator hijacked a thread. See my sign to the left there? Carry on with the fun.

PS: I have been here since the beginning in 1996, I know it is a good site to be a member of.

Funny, ironic, hypocritical, and not surprising. Love you mods!! (puppies and unicorns coming your way)

Insulting a moderators?

That's a ban :3
