We are going to learn about each other through this process and I am still not sure about the severity of language rules here. When I am ****** off about an issue I want to comfortably say that it makes me '*****1ng angry'. I don't believe in swearing in thread titles and I am adamantly against swearing towards a member, but as a matter of speech- I am not so sure.

There may be those of you who are religious and perhaps that is why any profanity bothers you. I promise to learn and observe fo rnow.
I don't think it is a question of religion so much (I for one am an atheist) as just setting boundaries for the kind of content we have come to respect. It is possible to express yourself without 4 letter words though trust me I use them on a daily basis just not here. I don't think you will find too many proponents for open profanity here. However, and I have said this before you were owner, I think the "block list" or whatever it's called is a little strict. like "b astard" for instance isn't that bad a word. Especially when "bullshit" slips through the cracks lol. There were other examples of puritan censorship, but I can't remember examples right now.

I am very sorry about the members we have lost over the last few days, but I have to say I don't see any real valid reason that anyone should have taken off. So far as I know no ones "rights" were violated. It would be one thing if we were talking about new members but we are talking about ones with thousands of posts, some with tens of thousands. I just think it was a bit hasty and I dare say a bit immature to just scuttle off. Over what? A few harsh words? (and I do think you were a bit inflammatory at times sanjay) was that enough to run off after being here for several years? Did people think that their user names would be sold? If this forum does go down the tubes due to the new ownership I will be the first to admit "I was told so" but where is the evidence? As much as I would love to see people come back, I can't help but feel like they abandoned this board and the people who could have benefited from their experience without due justification. Just the way I see it.

Good morning all. I'm having my morning cup of and decided to make a post (it's been several weeks). Working 6 days/wk and playing Eve online will take a toll on any person. hehe. So, I thought I would say hi and visit some before getting bogged down once again with real life.

Cheers

Hey Cain Crusher!

How's the cusl2 running?

You should have an edit button there. It lasts for only a day.

Hi Traveler

Yeah its a pity the EDIT button is gone!
Now I have to think before I post and check for spelling etc errors.
Maybe if I ask nicely I get it back?


The Asus CUSL2 still running strong however I´m installing two T-balancer XL in the case with alot of cables etc, as described in the cooling section, and it is really a test to see how well they work as I´m going to reorganize 7 internal and 3 external harddisks, it will take alot of time and good planing.
