Can't you guys just take this to PMs ?
Jup, you shoulda left this one closed buddy - it was the right decision :up:
I think it is important to keep a dialog on this issue open. Perhaps a closing of this thread and an opening of another to attempt to cut down of the off topic banter. The last thing we want though is something like hardwaredeluxx where they are actively censoring anything said on the matter. That is just despicable.
Agreed. Without comment. At least scamps can get his postcount up here since that is his measurmenr of self worth. To me, post count is proportionqally inverse to having a life:) too much screentime. I am sure we all are guilty as this stupid Internet arguing is wasting my time.
I agree, let's move on
@DarthBeavis
I give it up, now. Perhaps you are not able to or not willing to read my posts as they are. So think what you want, fortunately it does not really affect me.
Only one last statement about me and my motives:
I spent about approx. 3000-4000 Euro during the last 18 months for liquid cooling, and got a big part of it back by selling equipment after having tested it. And I tested a lot (the people @forumdeluxx will know :wave:)
Absolutely in difference to many other people (who did lots of reviews, too) I got not even one (=1) free test sample. No extra rebates for anything. The one and only thing I got for free is the repair of a damaged Poweradjust from Aquacomputer (notice the marking! Thanks to Shoggy once again). In contrast to many others I got neither testsamples or rebates from Aquatuning, nor from Feser, nor from Alphacool, nor from Caseking, nor from Swiftech and whoever.
And I am proud and happy about that, because I am absolutely free in my acting.
And so I won´t mess around with these recriminations anymore. I´m fed up with this kind of slyboots like this fellow DarthBeavis. High time to leave this thread. :down:
See you later scabs...Oops I mean scamps! What the hell and why not, all my stuff gets deleted in here anyway. The Aquatuning fiasco is a sensitive issue for many because many of us have either ties to some of the manufacturers, friends with them since we deal with them so much or are awaiting new stuff from R&D which now may be hampered because of lawyer fee's because of some idiot company *cough cough aquatuning cough cough* decides to try and pull a fast one and making a monopoly for themselves in Europe. Now they the people will suffer from high prices and aquatuning also will gouge the market to help peddle off some other manufacturers stuff because they have the stuff from other areas under control. It's BS just like scabs here who is their troll. I am done with this....I said my piece and just ask those to understand what is going on and to vote with their wallet.
Scamps if you say you have done things for the water-cooling community then I take you at your word and thank you. You handled this situation poorly and reperesented yourself in such a manner to earn your cold reception here. I hope our interactions fro
here on out are more positive. My opinion of you and that of many here can olny go up so that is a positive.
This behaviour appears to target small businesses and THAT is what I don't like. I really don't care if it costs me a few bucks down the road for increased parts costs, but I hate seeing this hurt small companies that have worked so hard to essentially build what we call watercooling today..:(
It is one small company screwing over others. What is sad is AT in my experince has been a good company (I have had good experiences with them) but my understanding is they hired the jerkoff who tried to screw HWLABS over with the same type of trademarking crap. All it takes is one bad apple. After this mess all companies in this industry should blackball him.
Yeah this tard monkey here.

To Nathanael Draht/Wire owner of Aquatuning.....Fire this monkey publicly and drop the stupid trademark war and I will lose the signature I have. Or I can keep it as is...Your choice! I know you read this and I know your not saying anything and letting the lawyers handle this in the mean time. You may wish to reconsider what your doing and gain some faith back or your friend (the idiot monkey) will drag you down and you will have nothing left and your name will carry even less weight. All up to you my friend and right now it's on you to make this right again.
I can't say that Rudnicki dude is a bad person but he sure leaves piles of dung whereever he goes. If he moves to the States he will probably get elected president since we like to scrap the bottom of the barrel (at least since WW 2 or so).
Meh, agree with Snipe this thread should have stayed locked it's fast becoming very childish :(
a little birdie tells me that AT is already seeking out of court settlements
i dont think there will be much productive discussion until the issue is resolved.
I just think its good to keep the thread active to raise awareness of the issue
so play nice or itll just be locked down again
I want to see the one responsible lowered to pan handling outside of Cebit next year since he is out of work
SIG'D
i also don't like to see larger corporations pick on smaller ones. i hope aquatuning.de gets liquidated and distributed to us WC'ers =)
I just got back from holidays, so I missed out the whole story...but that's just insane!! I don't really get what they're trying to do there...I ordered a lot of stuff there, so good luck my rig is now ready, and I can get the smaller parts somewhere else...I really don't like it, when big companies try to be monopolist using such methods...I hope the even bigger companies (like Swiftech etc.) will know their stuff and know what to do against it...
Oh man, that story is just insane...and that right after the Feser thing...:(
In my opinion this thread stays open. Its proving to be a source of valuable information and then got tainted. My philosophy is that thread crappers don't get what they want by forcing a thread closed. Its called 'Motive'. Thread stays and personal BS ends.
Only problem is the big gaudy sigs that a few people are using now. I don't like what they are doing, and i don't plan on shopping with them, but can we dial back the sigs just a little please.
I don't mind you guys expressing your feelings, but the big block colored sigs are a little annoying :(
I agree. The facts speak for themselves. Funny even AT can't maintain their defense here altough I still think they tried. Scamps, upon further consideration, I think you have actually been a victim of AT's misinformation campaign. Hope you have started on the path away from the darkside. Jealousy leads to anger which leads to hate which leads to envy which leads to frustration which leads to denial which leads to trolling which leads to moderators being driven crazy which leads to chasing Prozac with Jager bombs which results in my post count incrementing
DB, I have just 1 question....Who is this "Jupiter" you keep trying to speak to? :p:
Sorry. It is our closest genetic relative and I should have been more conscious in not insulting them so badly. But what was done was done I will just run with it. My sincerest apologies!
I really do thank you very much for keeping it open and allowing a few of us to protest what is going on. It shows a great deal of integrity when a forum allows it members to be able to speak freely when it's a good cause that affects us directly.
That was the point. They are supposed to be big and annoying. Just think how they feel knowing some of us are carrying sigs like that. :up: Hopefully things change on their end soon as my own sig annoys me! :rofl:
