Priority for the Hardware section is probably the A64 overclocking guide which needs to go and get replaced by a Phenom/Athlon II overclocking guide. Also, a new folding sticky seemed to be requested. The old one no longer displayed new posts without going to the reply page and many of the links from the OP didn't work any more.

Ill check out the Phenom/athlon OC guide 1st I also saw a video card OC sticky that needed to be redone. Ill have a looksy and see what we can accomplish over here in lousyana
Yea there's a few stickies that need to be redone. Thanks for reminding me about the video card one, that is completely broken and useless now.
ill pm you when i get a couple done then you can see if it passes. laters and goodnite to all!
Ahhh xtc, so you don like zydeco eh? I used to live in red stick, had a great time with those arcadians down theh
nah Lousyana sux big ones there is nothing to do here but type program and mod my desk and multiple rigs.......... Im almost bored with it that is why im actually posting now. As for Zydeco My mother and step father actually have a band called "The Cajun Dixon Line" OH MY GOD if I have to hear that anymore I might blow my head off.
LOLOL the cajun dixon line LOL
thats what I say. uuugggghhhh ***the accordian plays relentlessly in my head, it wont stop someone make it stop***
Like I told my step-dad "I'd rather listen to bag pipes all day." Whats even worse is when all the redneck cajun folk get out there and line dance to a funky accordian and violin where is the door please

Speaking of stickies... I know a few people has requested Proximon's thread on how to apply thermal paste to the Xigmatek become a sticky in the cooler section. Can you check on that and see if you can make that happen?
Thanks!!

I dont believe most french would approve of being in the same catagory as the Russians.......
With this post... I now move to the Rankings of a "Scout"
I will now go take my clipboard and watch an opposing team's game to bring information back to the "Coach" so we can setup our game plan... So if you see someone with a clipboard watching your next build... It is just me trying to get feedback on what you are building...
Go Tecmo34.......WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOO
I don't want to diminish anyone, but Tecmo34 is an example what I believe is wrong with the point scale the way it is: he has been a member since Jan. 2009, has 311 posts and 503 pts while I have been around since 2000 (yet not always as active), have 1784 posts, but only 583 points ....

Zenthar... I actually agree with you on your point on points and ranking... I shouldn't be at the same ranking level as those who have been on Tom's for a lot longer than me. I made a similar comment about a fellow poster I seen in the "new build" forum who will be a "Scout" because amount of new threads (of the same topic) and he has just finished his first build.
I do disagree with you if you are saying I have points for opening a bunch of threads and have not given good info to other OP's. I only provide input where I think I can provide valueable info. ... Well except for this thread when we are making fun of "French"...
Ok I agree that there are some isssues with the point system ..... BUT, let me say one thingy here. I dont believe it should take YEARS to attain any type of rank...... I might have stayed in the military if I wanted that that crap..... Anyway if a person is capable of making the posts that are required to advance on this forum then so be it. If you believe that you should be in another class, get to posting some MORE threads or BEST answers. If not, quit complaining. The system is here now and it seems it is going to remain as such. Just abide by the new ranking system and IF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH youll advance faster than the guys that havent been around very long.. If you are not, YOU will get LEFT behind!!!!!! While sad as it is, some of us have nothing better to do but comment and reply here. AND probably some are just OCD and will do it no matter what.
Also, I am a good example of your comment as well Zenthar.

Not at all
. It was in no way a judgment on the quality or the nature of the posts you made, just a comparison on raw "data". Hope no offense was taken.

| Zenthar wrote : Not at all |
No offense taken
... As I said in my post... I agree with your statement on the point system and it's flaws...
Im thinking that it just seems we all got demoted, as the system seems unattainable for decent "ranking" while using diminutive new "rankings".
Or, for better terms, what were they thinking?
They weren't?
It's been sad to watch Tomshardware go from an enthusiast site with very informative articles to a site that's so driven by the dollar that they encourage noobs to post as much junk as possible just to up site traffic.
These forum changes are just one more step backwards for a formerly excellent site. At least there are other tech sites where I can go if I want to read an informative article.
Sad, yes, but there is still some good content here, particularly the stuff written by Don/Cleeve, like the Best Graphics Card monthly updates.
Perhaps one day it can be turned around (the forum I mean). I don't see that happening until BoM leave the decision-making to the people who actually use the forum, or at the very least involve them in decision-making.
Yea, but if the current situation shows us anything, if we did have a vote, theyd just probly turn around, disqualify our votes, give it to 6 BoM members to vote on, and make ASUS"s of themselves
I'd be happier if they told us what the heck they are trying to accomplish. First the forum software changed, then it received and still receives minor changes every week with no known reason for the change. All the while there are so many features that don't work, don't work right or don't exist any more. Perhaps it's time for another change of software... vBulletin anyone?
and here I wondered why some (apparent) fool was asking the same question eleven times - he's 'bumping' his ratings! I begin to think the Gigabyte world can start to live without my having read eighty-some odd manuals, and 'canned' OC walk-throughs...
If you find threads that are obvious repostings for no valid reason then report them. Just don't report all of the clones... please...
Yea, bring in the clones, theres got to be clones

Good call Badge,
justinblue, GOFUCKYOURSELF, I may have issues with idiots asking questions easily answered by Google or checking the manufacture's site, but with over 35 years of working on computer hardware and software, I find the moderators of TOM's to be COMPLETE MORONS! FOAD, and print it from a Tom's NEWBEE...
Oh, they're French, so what's new about LOSERS!
Somebody had one too many last night
Or missed the one he coulda had
Woah!!! Is that guy on crack?
No, the self-portrait clearly shows his head is UP a crack.
Yeah right; almost 1000 posts and I'm a noob. Charming. I think I'm out of here.
| aziraphale wrote : Yeah right; almost 1000 posts and I'm a noob. Charming. I think I'm out of here. |
I think I'm with aziraphale -- though rather than quitting altogether I've stopped posting except to these forum-issue threads until this matter is resolved to the satisfaction of members.
French management style may be a little dictatorial but one thing they understand is a strike !
I don't think they will, because there will always be n00bs to replace you.

Ditto here with 2386 posts and 732 points ... WTF is with that?
I consider myself chief comedian at THG and make it a point to try to make people laugh as often as possible ... particularly when a flame war is brewing.
Plus I post a lot up the top and try to help out the doughnuts with their problems.
If I wasn't considered a "Regular" then I wouldn't be posting in the "Other" section where your human Virus vault is currently containing at least two dozen feral denizens ... LOL !!
I also frequently get good feedback for the help I hand out ... I know my stuff as I started back in the days of the Z80's ... when PC's had kick starters and you had to turn the fuel tap on.
Many of your posters who have over 1000 posts should be considered regulars ... If they have posted 1 times in the last month then surely they are.
I also love the French and can continue with any number of positive comments in that regard.
Ohh ... and I'll take a moderator position if one becomes available.
P.S. I reserve the right to make more demands if you don't break my fingers !!

Yup, but when attributing points for posts made prior to their new point system, they made each post count for ~0.25 pt, 1/16th of what they are worth now.

Just get to posting already. As I said before if you do this youll be ahead in no time. That is if you can type faster than me.

True, when this thread started, I was a "wannabe" and now I'm ~640 pts and I do not post THAT much.

Kinda like Mexico and their monatary system.
or our 401k's
I'm seeing a pattern.
hahahahahah this thread is gonna make me a reg
If I wasent at work right now I could pay more attention.
hahahaha quit your job just to make Toms points.................. Wow
Thats what im thinking...I've been working a regular job sence 1965.
