To clear this up, can Thundy give us a couple of examples of things that would break the rules and things that wouldn't?

:confused:

In other words the whole vague 'reminder' post about competitors that prompted this whole affair was complete nonsense and actually it was just about a single vendor (apart from the Kindle of course, lol)

One mod Made a mistake, one mod awoke the hornets nest, one mod 10% and another mod gave a perfect explanation.

Right?

As far as I can remember.

You can mention any competitor that doesn't have PC Hardware as their core business (so that's all the high street games stores, play, zavvi, gameplay etc.)

And now added to that you can no longer mention the rainforest. So essentially Overclockers now recognise them in the pc hardware core business category. (no point arguing whether they are or not)

Edit: ThundyCat maybe this should be added to the Rules sticky that 5UB started? There should also be one rules sticky in the console gaming stating the same thing (can just rename the chipping thread to Rules), just so people know for sure what the rule is.

Apart from the Kindle of course. And Apple products

I didn't actually know that the rainforest sold PC components until tonights goings on

Shortly after all this kicked off, I got a massive nose bleed that I thought would never stop, I'm thinking it's related.

I'm gonna sue for loss of blood, just working out whether it's Neil's fault or OcUK's.

Komedy · 23 Jul 2011 at 00:57

cant wait until October

Tummy · 23 Jul 2011 at 00:58

In what way shape or form is ******'s core business hardware? :confused:

Certainly wouldn't view them as a rival in terms of Hardware.

Anyway, I think I get it. Cool, pleased to have that cleared up actually as never fully understood the rules previously.

You chaps have been busy,i have missed out on all the fun

Vulcan · 23 Jul 2011 at 01:27

Thanks for the laughs OcUK, what a funny set of threads we've had.

Neil79 · 23 Jul 2011 at 01:28

I didn't find it funny

, I was livid and foaming at the mouth

trigger-happy · 23 Jul 2011 at 01:28
