I know what you mean, this past week he certainly wasn't as 'bad' as he has been in the past.Quote:

RRR isnt the first person to sing the praises of a certain manufacturer or product, albeit that he does it very well... but having a sales background you would expect that.
I dont know what went down with the admins to earn him a ban, so im gladly leaving that between RRR and them.
Im hoping that its just a bit of a slap on the wrist and all will be back to normal soon.
That worklog of his must be completed for the good of humanity.... 1000+ posts and he has only recently got all the gear together :D
:2cents:
i don't know what majority of you think, but banning a person without telling him the offending post is somewhat lame...
for the past few weeks he has been courteous, curb down his prideful remarks, has almost no FTW, and been quite helpful to some noobies, despite repeated baiting by some other newbs...
Edit: It seems that he has been banned without notification...Quote:

And then they'll ban me for complaining that I don't have PM access ?
He ment I guess, pick up the phone and give someone a call :)
Keep your cool :up:
What i was suggesting is that perhaps you should get on the phone to one of the mods. Good luck.Quote:

now 5vs1 everyday ganging up on R3 by some is somewhat unfair...

In light of all the recent events and the accompaning PM's I will be shortly changing my nic from Movieman to Dear Abby.:rofl:

Yikes, saw that R3 had been banned when I got home from dinner last night.:eek: I have the utmost respect for the mods & admins, and the difficult job they have to keep XS the best tech forum on the webby, and I accept their decisions fully. I'm just very much hoping that there's some contemplation of getting him back into circulation in the very near future and, on that note, I just wanted to say that Joel is one of the guys who's been very helpful to nooby me trying to wade through all this mysterious H20 stuff. In return, unfortunately I can't do much but offer this my own shout out of support for the man. I very much hope to see him back in LC soon.
Peace:)

I am not sure if you are saying R3 is vindictive and hateful or not, if so, when was he vindictive or hateful? He never made a personal attack unless someone attacked him first, simple. Certain individuals here baited him on a daily basis for whatever reasons, not sure if they wanted to get him banned or just wanted to get him worked up. As far as the "alluding to causing others harm", I am assuming you are talking about the whole BP vs. Feser deal and if so, there is an entire thread about that also. Regardless, I would think it would only be fair for the mods to explain to him, not us, why he was banned without warning. I just think that is common courtesy. They don't have to explain it to us, since this not a democracy, but I would think they should to R3. What I find ironic is that they only banned him from PM's and the liquid cooling section. If they really thought he was an issue then why not ban him from the entire forum. Call it conspiracy paranoia, but I think there is more to it than meets the eye. Anyway, I think there is a little too much drama on this site as it is. There are plenty of noobs and old members that answer legitimate questions with smart a** answers rather than with helpful answers. We all hate when someone posts "Is Thermaltake any good" and therefore the community blasts the poor smuck for asking the question rather than explaining why Thermaltake water cooling is a bad idea. I have gotten personally blasted for using Koolance fittings because of the "Koolance only uses aluminum and aluminum is bad" debate, none of which is relevant to their fittings. There are many reasons people build water cooling rigs and almost always money is a factor. I do agree this is an "Xtreme" site, but we have to remember there is a lot of mis-information floating around the web, I posted one yesterday as a good laugh, but to a noob to water cooling a legitimate site doing that review is more valid than someone's opinion on a forum. We need to remember we all started out new and not too many of us are "Rocket scientists" or "NASA" engineers.Quote:

I agree with others than banning without telling why is pushing a bit far. I assume he stepped on the wrong toes at one time and pissed off someone but I didn't really see something like that so I hope this get resolved pretty fast since I agree that he calmed down lately and is behaving as a good XS member despite lots of flame-baiting attempts by others against him.
FWIW, RRR did sent me a PM making sure I saw the funny Utnorris thread about TT. He didn't need to send the PM, I guess just wanted to make a gesture saying that 'all is cool'. I could be wrong, only a guess.
I bet this is all just a ploy to give RRR time to work on his rig without the need to feed his XS thread with updates.

I'd like to know who you even think you are in telling me it isn't my place? lol I don't think it was right with knowing what I did so I spoke out about it. Pretty simple if you ask me.
IanY no loss he barely had anything good to say about anything but R3 yeah he gave to this place & I for one learned quite abit from him & might just have made a new friend out of the deal. He didn't do anything that I was aware of at all to get himself banned so of course I spoke out for the guy!
Well, I apologize if it did not, but since the subject was R3 and his banning, when you responded to Septim with what I quoted it came off as you were saying that R3 was hateful and vindictive. If that is not what you intended, my bad, but that is how I took it.Quote:

My take on RRR as a whole is this:
He received all too much praise for what he did here. For some reason people thought of him so highly but in all honesty he never did anything to deserve this status. His worklog was measly and he barely got anything done none of it was all that amazing (compare to coolmeister, virtualrain, Evil-98, tremolos, malik, and many others), at least 50% of the posts in that thread were spamming useless fodder. I give him credit for being a fast learner and spending a lot of money on parts but IMO this community has lost nothing with him gone. :2cents:
Obviously he did something very out of line to be banned, none of what I said above has anything to do with that I would imagine.
Well you said -Quote:

He offers solid advice with regards to a basic wc set up and nowadays doesn't start with "No EK :down::down::down:" or some other garbage. He has come a LOOOOOONG way and I think a lot of the newer people appreciate his high level of activity on this site as he responds quickly to their nub questions etc. So as a nub straightener, he is an asset to the LC sub forum :)Quote:

It's drama plain and simple...a way to pass the day and amuse one another. The problems arise (IMO) with all the overinflated egos. There's a kind of Hubris that is really grating on those of us that didn't start doing this a few months ago. This pedestal sitting and gloating in the ill found praise of those entirely lacking in experience is more than annoying..it detracts from the spirit of the Forum. It's not about Excess...it's about Extreme. There is nothing Extreme about throwing a ton of money at a rig...although an Extreme rig may cost a ton of money...and I think all the Dr. LongDollars, and Wannabee Richboyz leave a fetid aroma for the rest of us to wade through just to try and glean a few kernels of wisdom from an LC thread.
In short it's been a drag.
Gentlemen,
This is a private forum and we do not know all the facts surrounding these issues. The mods here have the very tough job of overseeing more posts than we care to count. It is not an easy job and in most cases a thankless one. So much goes on behind the scenes that we are not privy to. All of the mods and admins that I have had dealings with have been very fair and patient people.
I do like R3 and Iany both and they also have very strong opinions about their views. I try to look beyond the post and see the overall person making it. A lot of us have strong opinions but some feel the need to vocalize it more than others. Each of us has something that we bring to this forum everyday that makes XS a very exciting place to visit. Sometimes tempers get heated and things are said or implied that can be taken wrong since we can not see the face of the person involved.
I have learned so much in so many areas from this great forum and the great people that frequent it that I hate to see any of them leave or have hard feelings amongst each other. This should be a place of learning and sharing of ideas not a place to prove who has the biggest epeen or widget. We were ALL noobs at one time and people coming here to learn because this forum is known for it's knowledge base can easily be scared off or worst affraid to ask a question for fear of being made a fool. We all learn something new everyday (if we are lucky) and should welcome the chance to pass on some of the knowledge that this and other forums has given us.
So lets put the past behind us because it IS gone, the future is yet to be and the here and now is all we truly have. We have in some ways become a dysfunctional family as of late and even the closest of relatives fight at times but life is too short to hold a grudge. I lift a glass and salute my fellow XS brethren and hope that we can make this section a fun place to visit again. :toast:

I'll say this. I have been a mod with banhammer on two very large forums. I have seen numerous circumstances where the community at large has no idea WHAT goes on behind closed doors, and there are instances where a peson has said or done something in private that is just way beyond banworthy, and they get it, and the community is mystified. What's done is done, the mods I know have good reason, and I'm not sure I have to know that reason (Doesn't mean I'm not curious, RRR was always rather polite to me.)
Maybe it's the hard transition from way too enthusiastic about water to attempted block maker that's clouding my eyes on what happened, but I missed a lot of it. Fanboyism I saw, a bit of rudeness I saw, but some of these things I never noticed. All I have to say is thank God the mods restored some order around here a little while back. It's been a new site, honestly.
its just to unfair to think that you could get banned without notification of what post offended whom...
agreed with you here.Quote:

changing R3's attitude took a lot of will and self refining for him, and we saw results. he has been trying very hard for the past few weeks, it is really sad that we won't see results of all those parts he bought and waited for assembled to functionality...
seldom you see a guy who works hard for his money, reads up on whats best for him, then buys em by the volume and is happy about it.
for the past few weeks, often i see lots of envious people of this guy and makes fun of him, naturally he'll be defensive...
in a lot of threads he post in, there are a lot of trolls following him, an almost everyday normal thing for him...
I would lobby to unban RRR. or at least tell us if its just vacation time or Perma ban...
It is true that this site has gotten nasty at times. People will post a question and then get bashed because some members feel it is a ridiculous question. It is true at times R3 promoted certain products that he had ordered, MM, BP, etc. However, I have seen a lot folks do this, including myself, because when you find a product that works for you it is natural you will think it will work for everyone. We sometimes forget that we are not all alike, nor do we think alike. What got my goat most recently was the "Sidewinders" thread. R3 posted that they would be carrying the Aqua blocks and then some folks got on there and started saying he was working for Sidewinders and that the thread was a promotion thread at which point R3 defended himself. I looked at it this way, if we can start a thread about one site, we should be able to start a thread about any site. When the "Why I love Petra's" thread was started R3 came in there and posted about Sidewinders and I told him that was not the place to talk about Sidewinders, that he needed to start a thread for Sidewinders if he felt so passionate about them. When he did, he got called a Fanboy. When he recommends MM to people or BP to people, both which he owns, he gets called a Fanboy. When Naekuh (sorry, just an example) recommends Koolance or I recommend Koolance to people for their fittings, no one accuses us of being Fanboys. Granted, you always get someone that will bring up the aluminum debate, but when done properly it is a good thing. From where I sit it looks like R3 was singled out for these reasons. I don't care what the reasons are, my main objective is that folks get treated fairly and if you are going to ban someone for that then I can rattle off a bunch of folks in here that should be banned for being EK Fanboys, BP Fanboys, Swiftech Fanboys, Feser Fanboys, Thermochill Fnaboys, Danger Den Fanboys and so on, including myself. Should we all be banned? Well what about the abrasiveness, go take a look at the "Why do you guys still support EK" thread and then talk to me about abrasiveness, even Movieman got into the act on bashing the OP. Whether it was justified or not, the OP asked a legitimate question, although he could have been clearer and more tactful, he still did not deserve to be bashed for asking the question. This is just my opinion and I am done talking about this. I only hope that there will be a reconsideration on the ban, maybe with conditions if the mods feel it is necessary, but still should be looked at.
It's important to realize that he was most likely not banned for anything related to fanboy-ism but a direct offense in another situation (public or private who knows) that put a mod over the edge.Quote:

This sorta happened to me here. And with some heavy hitters at that when it came to too much flow in a loop. But for the most part it was done respectfuly and to correct some misconceptions was thort I might of had. No chest thumping. I still have my beliefs but know there are other philosophys out there to consider, and I will.Quote:

Still the majority of the forum is unaware unless it is brought up.
RRR seems to be a confident stand up guy and that might bother some. He did seem to be less exhuberant the last week but I still enjoy his perspective. I also was interested how his build would work out and hope his "ban" is just a tempory warning.
Has anyone PM'd DarthBeavis as he may consider coming back now??

These are words of a scholar and a gentelmen in explaining what was going on here. Also from my own experience, almost every post from RRR and IanY were written in a manner to subtly offend or piss someone off. Then the rest of there clan/flunkies would come out of the wood work to pounce on whoever tried to defend themself or call them out on their snubby little comments. They offended and turned off just as many "noobs" from this forum that they helped.Quote:

I literally stopped coming here a few weeks ago, only checking my older subscribed thread for new comments. I will definitely be visting much more frequently now that they are gone.
Guys..
R3 is a friend of mine.
The mods/admins here are also really good friends of mine.
So lets not make things worse and dig up dead skeletons from the closet please.
Just DROP the matter regarding R3, its a heart ache to both parties. In a sense, no side won, both sides really lost.
So just DROP making fun of R3.
The issue is over, and its passed. Why go back in time and repeat talking about the mistakes, when they were already resolved?
Who else has been banned?
And i find it funny how when theres an alu thread, and people are indeed throwing money away by mixing metals, we dont flame the person who created the thread?Quote:

First off, who has closer relationship with vincent? Anyone wonder why vincent is missing to begin with?
Also, Ben, R3 was very close to ben, in fact if i wanted a favor from vincent or ben id pobably go though R3.
Can you Newbies say you have that many connections already associated in the short time it took him to get it?
Regardless of how much money he spent [you wanna count pennies? cuz i probably topple R3 by a factor of 2-3x in spending], the fact is he had connections. You wanna make more fun of inflated egos?
Try mine. However i back up my statements with proof, and i think i made quite a name for myself now that martin only proved what i said was true from the beginning.
So Guys STOP AND DROP THE R3 Matter, b4 we bring drama back into this forum.
Its OVER, and RESOLVED. Now its up to both partys to accept the punishment and move on. Thats all there is to it.
Dont justify and annalyze cuz it doesnt matter to you at all. The decission was handed down by the mods, if they want to talk about it, then its up to them, but i doubt they will.
So dont speculate, or second guess, or even analyze, you guys are turning into little 13 yr old girls who gossip behind people's backs, and its really disgusting.
Naekuh,
Let it be. There's little point in getting yourself all worked up about it. There's no punishment and its no loss on either end. Just move on.
Although he was paid quite a compliment.. wow..
i want my old forum back.
is that too much to ask?
I might just stick to WCG only if we cant drop this issue.
:\
We have a very simple rules and code in WCG section.
Its really simple, and has kept the guys clean and problem free.
Rule 1:
Egos left outside unless you get personally attacked.
Rule 2:
Personal attacks and you get kicked outside WCG or a phone call from DAVE.
Rule 3:
Respect others, to one a penny = a million dollars, so view others in there eyes not yours.
Rule 4:
Avoid the phone call from DAVE
Rule 5:
DONT PULL FART PLUME's FINGER
Rule 6:
No Teddy bashing or phicks will slaughter you.
Rule 7:
The answer to all questions is SHEEP!
Simple rules have kept wcg in check so long... We should adopt it and learn from them.
Naekuh,
Its not possible. That forum is gone, whether you like it or not. Whether anyone likes it or not, RRR is gone for good. Its a decision that has been made and there's no point questioning it, regardless of how you feel about it.
If you are referring to the forum before RRR, then its not possible either. You'll have to influence ten times the number of people for that to happen.
They are not going to change their minds. Their language is firm.
As to the ensuing nastiness, it cannot be helped either, and it is not going away very easily.
There is no point for you to get all worked up about it. It'll only consume you. For your sake, stop worrying about RRR. He's a big boy and can manage himself.
And this isn't WCG and will never be WCG. Not everyone wants a call or appreciates a call from Dave. Not everybody wants to be friends with everyone else in XS and not everyone specifically wants to be your friend. This is just some internet forum.
i dont want to get my hands dirty in that manner.
Thats why im really trying to stay neutral.
I see the admins's possition, DB is a good friend of mine.
I also see R3's excitement and wanting need to let everyone know, i was there a long time ago.
Im not picking sides on this issue.
What im picking sides on tho is that this whole issue should just be kept behind doors.
You guys had 1 page to say your peace.
Do you really need to strech 5 more pages with a person's fault?
Lets get back to our normal programing.
Skinnee is getting a new koolance block from me to test once i get my samples.
I am building the most massive external unit labeled oracle soon and will post a WL. (2xDDC-2 + 2xDDC-3.2) :D
I am also in the middle working with bei fei designing custom blocks which will be for sale though him and possibly gary at Sidewinder for
ASUS P6T-Deluxe board. NB/SB single block. Mosfet Single Block.
And lets get some real I7 thermals done so we can repick who the winner is.
:up:
This is all i am hoping to accomplish b4 the end of this year.
Yeah that is a very good rule...:rofl: I will not do that again!Quote:

Honestly, don't you see the not-so-subtle elitism in that statement that RRR is so often accused of? The main problem I have with this whole affair is that the accusations lobbied at RRR are in several ways hypocritical because its rampant across XS. The pot shouldn't call the kettle black, especially when the pots have been around longer than the kettle.Quote:

Another thing. I don't know what people don't understand about the concept of "permanent." RRR's access to Liquid Cooling within XS has been permanently revoked.
Ive been a long time lurker here at XS. I think I read these forums for at least a year before I even signed up for a user ID. I dont currently water cool anything, unless your counting Buds in a cooler, although that may belong in the chilled section, doh!
However the knowledge I have picked up from these forums has been pretty helpful in helping my friends out and furthering my own PC knowledge. Ive helped my buddy pick out parts for his WC loop just the other just from what Ive read on these forums. Ive taken a few ideas Ive seen and spun them a little bit and used them in my own creations. I frequently refer people to these forums if they need some info on something out of the ordinary. Just tell them to run a search on whatever they are looking for and they will probably find it.
Personally I could care less if people spend $10k or $1k on a PC. I think I have about $1500 in my current machine. People like R3 that do monster builds certainly inspire some people to push the envelope as to what CAN be done. Martin has done some outstanding testing which has educated me an incredible amount as what I want to do when I do finally make the jump to water this winter. I enjoy people like Gabe, Dean, Eddy, and remaining company reps that will come here and post up a new product and field questions about it quite often before it even hits mainstream sites. I tend to keep to myself and just read, sorting the fact from the fiction or friction as it sometimes is here and post my thoughts only when they seem valid or helpful for the discussion. What I really like is some of the true innovation and pushing that has been done that influences manufacturers to make changes for the better of the hobby. It impresses me to no end how much influence a simple forum can have on a manufacturer.
Its unfortunate that sometimes people need a little smack down to get back to reality. Heres to a few more years of good reading and maybe actually learning something every now and then!
:toast:
Following suit with NaeKuh, I should be finalizing Mithril and hopefully pulling the cover off my new block materials.
I can say confidently that nobody has ever played with this stuff.
Variable DC power supply arrives tomorrow...let the official skinnee labs D5 pump testing begin!
can one be pompous and gererous at the same time? :)Quote:

Just bury the hachet and move on. Nothing good can come out of further discussion.
Well I'm not a flamer but it really must be addressed. I've seen how DB acts at [H]. I distinctly recall when some dude had a skulltrail rig, DB came in as said, "Here is mine" and posted images of the Danger Den Skulltrail case. The dude then said something like, "WTH, you don't have to compare?" followed by some colourful language. DB then said something negative about his pc and yeah . . . full on flame for a page. DB comes here to also post his ambitious builds and we praise him so. Things really got out of hand with the MM publicity in one of his builds and things were done that really should not have. Consequently contacts weren't so friendly.
DB has great ideas however it doesn't mean he is full of confidence like RRR is. I make the comparison to not see my self as some superior being, but to maybe give some my insight into DB. Don't take him the wrong way. The same can be made about RRR. He is full of confidence but his posts are not meant to be seen as aggressive like some people seem to interpret them.
So take a look from rose coloured glasses and have fun. Think about the poster and their apparent personality and use this to understand why they do what they do and say what they say. Few people here intentionally troll.

Well said DB. I am pretty sure we all had our moments at one time or other on forums. I know I have as well. Important thing is to learn from them as you apparently have done.Quote:

Later we appologized, and things have been great between us. :up:
DB doesnt however go inside a thread and force someone to get something.
He will show off, and when people question his experience thats when he flips.
People ignore his recomendation, he just walks away.
But not once in any of his threads did he push a product on us.
He blings a product on us, but never forces it to us.
Enough calling people out. Why dont we talk about what we intend to do in the future. Anyone have an intersting future project coming up?
Of course we all have our moments. For example, in the bunny thread I posted a rude picture that should not be viewed by a minor. Errr brain fart? Oh yeah :p:Quote:

If it must be known, from the little bit of information I know about you, I think you are a top guy who has one of the hardest jobs [stay at home dad right?]. Not only do you have the most difficult job known to humankind, but you also do these crazy pc builds on the side XD.
No more calling people out!!!
Seriously... let the past stay in the past!
Look my future block rendered by Bei Fei. If you guys be nice i'll leak out more pictures in its design.
BEI FEI PRODUCT!

EDIT V2 : I'm not too sure how you answered that . . . . huh? ROFL minor brain implosion.

Please stop using the term "retarded."
Your use of the concept is offensive.
