About time we had nvidia and amd subforums?

[Suarez7]

With arguments happening in most threads and posts being deleted it may be a good idea like other forums do to separate the brands?

 

[Suarez7]

would love that, but you think with this being a 99% amd forum they could stay in their own section ? I think not either.

No, and posts like this are why I think it needs to be done. The forum is far from 99% AMD

I'd have very little to giggle about then, shame on you Suarez.
The bickering happens on both sides of the fence, you'll also be more prone to deliberate trolling as someone from AMD camp goes into Nvidia enclosure because they beat them at something, and likewise from Nvidia.

Also, what about all those who sit on the fence? This would solve one problem but cause many more, best bet is just put those you disagree with on your ignore list and get on with your life.

It's very rare you get a giggle out of it anymore anyway, it's becoming more annoying than funny.

I'd rather not have to put people on ignore either, and surely anyone going into the other forum and intentionally trolling makes it an easier decision for mods to hand out suspensions?

 

[Suarez7]

Or people could not flame and call each other names..

Well they could but unfortunately that's not going to happen with the way it currently is. Someone posts a problem and more often than not someone from the other side will come in and start flaming instead of helping, happened in both nvidia and amd driver threads. I'm no saint myself, if I'm reading a thread and it's already been derailed sometimes I'll add to it.

 

[Suarez7]

The constant digs are sometimes funny, depends how quiet it's been. Every other thread is boring, every once in a while is fun.

Well lets be honest they aren't though are they? The posts just gets RTM'd then half a page of posts gets deleted and more than likely the thread has been derailed that much nobody bothers discussing it properly anymore.

Go read the misc or something if you want a laugh.

I don't dislike or like one brand more. I like all brands. I've had both AMD and Nvidia. I have been using Nv more lately.

No matter what it is Video Console.....PC......Phones.....Movies....Everyone will have their personal opinion on what they like. It the way we humans are. We are always at war with each other. It will never change. ever!!!

Yet surprisingly the phones and movies sections are rather civil, even the console section is more civil than here.

 

[Suarez7]

Too much snobbery here in the gpu section.

That certainly brings shame upon us when the console folk are more civil.

It got a little heated after the Sony and MS E3 conferences the other night which is expected but other than that the folk over that neck of the woods get on nicely.

I don't know about that. I was on the console thread a week ago and everyone was yelling at each other about Xbox one and PS4. It's no different there.

Read above.

 

[Suarez7]

I think the GPU guys have passion. They will fight to the end for the brand they love. PC brings the beast out of you. Me too a little

If you take a step back though you start to realise how sad it gets at times what people will argue over on here.

Difference being we have a typical 18month upgrade cycle that's when all the shouting happens, consoles have 6-7 years
Console fans will belittle each other on the smallest of things same as AMD/Nvidia. Just happens more often here as we work on different timescales.

Nonsense lol, it's all year round on here.

 

[Suarez7]

I know. It it hard to be here sometimes. I don't post all the time, Too many smart asses here... (Unnamed, but you know who you are) but the one thing I do like about coming here is...a lot of you guys know you stuff and if I have a issue and don't understand why something is happening, I know someone here will help me out and know the answer.

That's what makes this place special

Yes and that's why I think separate forums for each brand would be better, people could get the help they need without more often than not having their thread took over by the usual suspects.

 

[Suarez7]

I don't agree tbh, I think the majority would stick to posting sensible stuff in their own section. If people cross into the other and start intentionally looking for bites then swing thy mighty hammer of Thor.
