    I tend to stay away from threads of this nature but I have to put my 2 cents in here.

    @AT, it was a very poor decision to post this so called "press release" on the forums as your reputation in the water cooling community has not been very good with all the passed incidents not only here but other various water cooling / enthusiast forums. This only makes your company look more childish in the eyes of many and makes you seem like you have something to proof because you do not want to get caught with your pants down again.

    Not to mention the fact that starting off your thread with a huge picture with a contract being torn up along with a very vague description of what had happened. If you wanted to inform the public of what had happened it would have been more prudent from a business end to keep this to your website and release it such a fashion as EK has done.

    Now, before you go thinking that I'm an EK fanboy, I am definitely not. I have gone as far as to disagree in threads and voice my opinion on poor judgement/handling of customer care issues here on XS.

    This thread should definitely be locked by a moderator.

    Perhaps the aquatuning can also change his signature, the "play nice and aqua-girl will let ..." bothers me :



    I am not an idiot, it is not very professional and i doubt girls/womman doing waterwooling appreciate it either.

    So, what if they did? However, you posting this all over the web like you have looks to me like a smear campaign.

    as the sig sits, it doesn't break any of the forums rules, the staff would have no reason to remove it.

    It is a misunderstanding, i don't ask the staff to remove it, if he want to keep it, he can, we are in a democracy.

    I just wanted to give him my feeling about it.

    Both EK & AquaTuning are wankurs, watching them b1tch each other out is hilarious! Been watercooling for 10+ years, never bought either of their products and neither of them will ever see $1 from my pocket

    While I tend to agree with all the booth babes and other stuff in the tech industry I wouldn't get my hands up over it. Of the entire "IT industry is full of nerds so we are going to sell products through scantily clad women" it's a drop in the ocean.
