.Jules, don't know if you know the history of the IHub AMD thread, but wbmw was one of about 4 pro-Intel posters that used to post here regularly, and every one of them switched to IHub the same day and never posted here again. IIRC, this happened not long after Paul Engel was temporarily banned from the Mod AMD thread.

Wbmw (who was wanna_bmw on this thread) admitted that he was not *allowed* to post here anymore.


In my opinion, Intel got hot feet when Engel was shown to have used multiple (at least 6) aliases.......the reason being those aliases were also used interchangeably by Intel employees and many of those posts originated from inside Intel. Since such an arrangement could be construed as a deliberate attempt by Intel to manipulate public opinion, they pulled the plug over here and worked to set up things on Ihub such that any attempt to get at a poster's background would be considered a personal attack. wbmw was hired as a long term replacement for Engel who either got got tired or started to become an Intel embarrassment.

I have a vague memory of Engel and phuddy of course on a different board, unless it was after a makeover of this one.
In those 14-16 hour day's I had only time to lurk for a few minutes, sporadic at best.

I have noticed thier mention of this board and the lack of posting here so I kind of guessed what was up.

wbmw's retoric more or less mimics that of intel. If intel has something AMD dosn't, it's great. If the reverse is true, the market don't need it, don't matter.
