See, it wasan't wrong. theres nothing wrong with helping someone out with some infomation. Even if it is a compeateing site.
If it was, stuff like linkeing to another site for someones Aztech card drivers or somthing would be wrong to. And it isin't.
So would be linkeing to somewhere like Tom's Hardware Guide, cause they give oput infomation on computers, just like here, so they compeate also, don't they!!!
Respect is a two way street that must be earned from both parties.Quote:

End of my participation in this thread.

That is where you're inexperience in the real world shows through. This site is owned by big business, and part of big business is the need for non-compete clauses. Did it ever occur to you that DG may be bound by one of those, and all of your silly antics are seriously stressing that agreement??? Whatever the arrangement with Scott and the owners of this site, it isn’t any of our business anymore, so drop the fun and games…before someone gets hurt, that someone could even be DG…think about it…Quote:

I think DG knew the score when he said linking was OK late last week. This has all gone ballistic since that post, and I think some of the more lively posters saw it as an invitation to attack.Quote:

Hey Richard1, not to stir the pot, I'm actually asking this for clarity reasons:
When Trip linked to JTS:

btw 3fs, just for clarity:
how does chat feel about all of this?
Are you representing them with your "views" both here and TOS?
Not trying to stir the pot and all,,,,,,,,,
Saying it twice doesn't make it any less 'stir-some' ..Quote:

This is bloody retarded. Ice, rogue you guys have been acting like winy little brats. You're posting here had more motives than just to clarify the linking issue. WD is a corporate site and they do have to right to prevent competition for advertising in their webspace, they own it.
Trip, this self rightous crusade is a load of bs. You do have some good point about what some people have been doing here, but if you're trying to tell me your link to TOS was simply to help and not to have new users see TOS and possible join, i don't believe it. And now I think you saw people starting to become childish and saw it as an opportunity to look down your nose at them. You constantly post about how you post more than other people in the help forums like that somehow it makes you better than them. Well, if that's what you think you might want to re-evaliate the way you think. Elitist bull**** causes too much crap in the world.
And Richard1, all i have to say is i agree with cleetus, if you think the member of the forums do not contribute to the bottom line and survival of this site you're mistaken. If the community stagnates it will show in the bottom line of the site. I'm not trying to be disrespectful here, i'm just tired of hearing people ranting and not listening to other sides of the argument.
And for anyone who may try to attack me, yes i do enjoy some of the squabbling that goes on here. But it's the stuff that is all in good fun and everyone involved knows what it is. Right now people are getting pissed off and it's time to put it to an end.
Thanks anyways trip and ed, but was actually looking to hear from Richard1 on this:
