This is nearly as good as the 'Do you like Easyrider?' thread he started on another forum. That was about 20 pages on 'No' by the time it got pulled down.

Sad sad little man.

Spend some time at home please...Rather than driving 500 miles to save 5 quid on a HDD from MM.

That thread was tongue in cheek joke in forum which I gladly have no part of.

You lot still seep back.

I needed a pair of Raptors in a hurry and he had two. I picked them up. Apparently I now drove 500 miles to save a fiver. Apparently now, having been invited to have a cup of tea with him, I should worship him. I disagree.

He acts like a ****** and I call him on it and he doesn't like it.

Some time ago, Easyrider actually did some overclocking, and, if I recall correctly wasn't too shabby at it either. Recently though he just seems to post inane threads about his car, guitar collection - almost anything except computers, yet he still feels he has the 'gravitas' to turn up and tell those of us who actually are out there testing what it's all about. And he still likes to ridicule people who don't sell their stuff as soon as they've got it on the basis that you can upgrade and it won't cost you anything. Well, OK, yes you can, but to use and enjoy something you have to have it.

Easyrider recently started a thread on another forum entitled 'Do you like Easyrider' and he was somewhat surprised when the overwhelming response was "no, we don't like Easyrider" and he was so reviled he was actually banned. Now, he said it was a joke, but it wasn't funny. Least of all for Easyrider.

And anyone who tries to explain to him that acting the way he does won't make him any new friends is a 'sad little man'.

Well, OK, I'm a sad little man, but I'm a sad little man with friends and if I could be dragged, kicking and screaming to the point where I did post a thread "Who likes WJA96", I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be as one-sided as Easyrider's was.

Guys can I just say that some of you REALLY need to step away for the internet. That thread with the vote and competition was possibly the saddest, nerdiest thing I have ever seen in my life on a forum, ever. If such ridiculous things really bother you that you need to go around campaigning for votes about something few people actually give a **** about then I suggest taking a deep breath and stepping away form the interet... for at least a year. Honestly, this is so cringeworthy it's actually uncomfortable to read.

it was intended to be a joke and a friendly bit of banter

the thread was posted in all seriousness to be a descriptive overview of new technology
nothing more

I didn't really read it like that - personally I thought it was just in good humor. I admit though I only read some if it and not all, so perhaps I am a poor judge.

You missed my Home Cinema thread.

I got nothing but thanks for posting my build log.Many enjoyed following it and many said it gave them a lot of inspiration.

I have other interests these days but still like to follow and dabble in PC hardware.Whats wrong with that.

There is a full section dedicated to Home cinema and Music..So you're suggesting that people who post their guitar collections and HI FI and Cinema rooms are invalid posts?

:confused:

Thats what makes OCUK so interesting...Thousands of people all have different interests and share views.

I like looking at other peoples guitars etc...Just like people in Motors like looking at other peoples cars.
