Techpowerup First GTX 280 Review is gone

[Movieman]

Das ist doof
Hoffe das geht bald weiter.

Not that it bothers me personally but for forum posts please do it in English per the rules.
If you need to communicate in another language please do it in PM's.
That way everyone is happy..
Thanks.

I would never fault him, especially since I didn't know. But I imagine a lot of members are disappointed (seeing as views dropped from 400 to 200 in XS news in less than 10 mins) that the leak was removed from XS.

Seeing as last I checked, XS isn't techpowerup. I imagine it would be far more difficult to do the same if the results were posted on an obscure Russian forum. W1zzard is a respected member of the community and so it makes sense to agree with his request, but it doesn't negate the dissappointment members feel for the censorship of the leak beyond W1zzard's own forum, which is the only one that is under his control

We hated this when AMD contacted OBR and asked him not to post his numbers. If there are leaks, there are consequences, and they are the responsiblity of the source to control them, but censorship of the leaks beyond their own borders or to sites/people to whom the NDA does not apply leaves members feeling a little ripped off

I see your point, and it is valid.
The question then becomes do we serve the interests of a member with a problem that needs to be addressed or ignore that request
and toss him to the wolves.
My thinking was that when an XL at XS PM's me and asks for help I do what I can and right then.
That green in the name says to me he's earned that position and I do what I can.
That black and white to me..
