Yes, it's a loaded title for the topic. And no, the title does not invite discussion. It invites feces-flinging from trolls and fanboys because the participants will be already mad about it if they don't agree with the suggestion in the title. Which will bring me to my point later on.
Let me start by saying I'm perfectly aware that the mods have other stuff to do and I'm really glad of their patience and work so far.
But boy, have things gone out of hand in the forum with some decisions and (lack of?) action.
Each and every thread about AMD products has been scrambled together into one huge fat unreadable and unsearchable thread. No more R300 series thread, no more R400 series thread. I read it was supposed to be a temporary solution but it's been several months and the mess is still the same.
Threads for speculations, threads for product reviews, threads for announcements, etc. were are mangled up into this ridiculous mega-thread and it just stayed like that indefinitely.
Out of the "top 10 threads" in that forum:
- One is about Pascal announcements;
- One is about Pascal reviews;
- One is about Pascal INT/FP performance
- One is about Volta speculation
- One is the stupid AMD 5000 (five-thousand) post megathread that is always derailing (and at the same time is never derailing because the thread is about everything).
- One is about AMD being so bad as IHV, assuming they "have already lost the race" and celebrating/circlejerking around that;
- One is about telling how all the DX12 titles where AMD cards present better results are so bad and wrong because the devs implementing DX12 paths are probably murdering baby dolphins
- One about output options
- One about a very specific technical capability
(thank goodness for the last two?)
And this is only in the "architecture and products", because the thing is infesting other areas, like this ridiculous tinfoil-hatery.
Plus, all the circlejerks are being regularly, systematically and persistently maintained by the same group of 5-6 die-hard anti-AMD fanboys (and they all consistently put "likes" in each others' posts no matter how ridiculous the content is, in order to raise their presence, just like all facebook BFFs do).
I know there's only so much that a mod can do when facing users that are mostly following rules even though they only post biased content 24/7. But is there a need to create or allow threads with loaded titles, like "why is AMD already losing" and "Vulkan is an AMD construct"?
Even if I believe some of these titles were created as irony (like the Vulkan one), it's not good for discussion and it's doing nothing but helping the circlejerk grow and derail all sensible discussion.
I hate to see that as much as I would hate to see threads titled "Why is nvidia spitting in all our collective faces by not having support for adaptive sync" or "why is nvidia continually screwing up our pc games with gameworks?"
This would appear in search engines as such and would bring even more trolls to what used to be sensible discussions in the forum.
The amount of anti-AMDtrolls devotees is growing everyday.
Today there was a guy that created an account just to protest about a link I put of a graphics card being sold for cheaper than usual.
It was literally me just posting "oh the prices are coming down, here's one" and the guy created an account 8 hours later just to say "that's irrelevant because they have only one in stock!!!!11oneone". Followed, of course, by instant acknowledgment from anti-AMD-circlejerking daddies #1 and #2. They just found a new BFF.
