edit: shat, I didn't know kyle started that one, I don't have any beef with anything he says... woops... but still take what you can to heart... and please don't ban me =)
I just find it so funny how the forum community operates in general. At the time I wrote this the "Your Thoughts on 3DMark threats to HardOCP." thread had just a few shy of 50k reads and 650+ posts while the "Post your 3dMark 2005 scores here" thread had only 8k reads and 250+ posts. But what was really sad was that the " Constructive Criticism for Futuremark" thread had only 282 reads and 10 posts. Now I know that that last one hasn't been around as long but it certainly will never get close to the other posts in popularity. What I find sad is that as the posts get more and more relevent and useful, the popularity goes down. Is it not obvious that Constructive Critisism is a much more useful and prductive use of a post while a post about someone's "thoughts" goes nuts. There isn't even that much to talk about, it's all dumb repeates of FM flamers and a few normal people. I mean, WTH do you talk about for 650+ posts all on a simple two sided opinion??? The whole thread can be summed up by one post that just says "FACT: FM is a synthetic benchmark that some people find useful for burn-ins, OCing, eye candy, and bragging rights, FACT: Some people think that synthetic benches are useful for nothing because they don't show true game play results" which I though was obvious enough from the word "synthetic" but whatever. Now I know you alowd not to like FM and I'm not sayting either is right or wrong but rather I'm asking people to restore faith in the forum and it's usefulness as a helping tool with a community of people of similar interest and experience. -Post for usefulness ;)
 
Well, you could also see it this way... There is not much of an arguement to build in favor of 3dmark, so why make another thread. That thread about opinions on the threat was more to gather posters so as to make a big ass thread that would give 3dmark a better taste of what us (the gaming comunity) feels about that particular action...

The reason why Kyle started that thread is because there wasnt really much to argue about, Tero had fucked up real bad and since the Kyle's reply didnt do much to make him reason, he chose to throw the whole gaming comunity at him, so to speak... And to good results in the end...
 
Big difference in those threads....

One was to comment on what you think of Futuremark's threats... and a link was posted on the front page.... IT PISSED most people off b/c they felt FM was trying to silence HardOCP's opinion. So front page link with a big commentary attached to it....

vs.

a say something in a nice way thread. You can "bash" futuremark, just try to say it in a nice constructive way..... dont just come in bitching... So if there's something you dont like... say how it could be better.

Ever heard if you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all....
well, it kinda works the other way around for people too..... if you can only say something nice.... they'd rather not say anything!! LOL
