Do you care how fast your computer is? Redux Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Since Urban Ranger ever-so-kindly locked the last thread despite it not breaking any rules, I'm going to open up a new one.

UR:

You are not going to get a representive sample on ACS, which is a gaming forum.

Try ACNeilsen or some such company.

Why, that's peculiar...

Because you just told us that games are not computationally intensive, so why would gamers be any different than other folk?

Gamers? No, most games are not computationally expensive.


Edit: Forgot the poll on this one, type YES or NO.

Or perhaps a real mod would be kind enough to unlock the original.

Wow, crusing for a banning, are you?


And speed does matter, but it depends on how much you're running.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this thread.

Rather than threadjack the Intel-Silicon thread, it's got its own thread on the usefulness of new computers.

Urban Ranger closed the last one because he made a moronic statement, and he knew it.

He didn't even say why he closed it, he just posted his rebuttal and locked it so he got the last word.

Asher posts a copycat thread after his first has been closed.

Thanks for the memories, Asher.

UR can't ban people.

First off, this isn't a copycat thread -- it's the exact same thread, because the first one was unjustly closed.
Second off, he never gave a reason for closing it or stated what rules were violated -- he just closed it and posted a rebuttal.

Poor form.

Hey, I got banned just for posting a thread with a copycat title, let alone copycat content.

It wouldn't be a "copycat" if a certain mod wasn't so trigger happy and having so much fun with his new-found powers.

You had a week and this is the best you could come up with?

If memory serves, the majority of the whining came on behalf of the spammers who threw their ball at Ming and went home.

See you in a week. You've been around long enough to know that opening a new thread closed by a mod IS against the rules.

Exactly as I thought, Glonkie. Your original thread was a very transparent attempt of trying to get around the forum rule that you are not allowed to create threads to attack specific posters.
