I noticed that 1 of our favorite forum noobs hasn't been active for about a week and am wondering where he went... he seems cool. Hope he didn't bail on HH because of stuff that was said and with flyin Brian leavin because of that same stuff and all.

I'd like nothing more than to see both of them return.

HH is small and thankfully so, we don't have the problems other forums have. Instead sometimes inactivity comes about usually in summer when people are holidaying and such.

Holy crap, screw him actually.  HAHA...I can't beleive I pissed him off trying to help.  If he so desperatly wanted my help, how about shooting me a PM or e-mail.  Oh well.  I could have saved him the trouble of going on his wild goose chase...

Kinda surprised to hear you say that... wish I'd never brought it up. Shame on me. Confused

Regardless, HH is still my goto site!

Well, if he's going to disrespect me personally, and other members of the site for something trivial that could have been handled via a simple e-mail, I have no reason to mince words.

No one cares more about our readers than me, but if somone is going to be a disrespectful cry-baby that asks us to delete his account, then that's exactly what I'll do. (And have already done.)

 I couldn't agre with you more marco in fact I tried to tell him that but sort of in a nicer way but it still didn't sink in. I even't went as far as to send Necro a email after the incident to assure him that others would still like to see him around and not to give up on the site due to 1 individual. I still have not seem him back which is a shame. Just for that reason alone I am not that upset that FlyinBrian left.

yeah, I deleted the thread...

Basically CryinBrian asked a question about Phenom framerates, because he was seeing some wiredness.  I responded to the thread with some suggestions, and he took my response as an insult, and because I hadn't responded to the thread in a couple of days he proceeded to disrespect a couple of new members, said he was done, and asked that we delete his account.  So I did.

Jordan will be back, one day he'll pop in. Same with Elsp etc. Regulars come and go for different reasons but generally they do come back. Personally I have lost interest in hardware probably because I'm studying a computer related course and I find I get quickly burnt out nobody can cover the same thing 24/7, even Davo and Marco have plenty of interests outside of hardware. I think Davo does Tai-Kwon do or something. Mostly I only stay to argue about non-related hardware stuff. I do love a heated argument.

I wish he could use it on the forum SPAM-DEVILS that post here.
