Because he also sends news to the newsposters?

Well it seems obvious to me that Burke and the rest of his spin team are not averse to wielding a big heavy hammer when web sites displease him. We've all heard the stories of review sites being exluded if they displease Burke or even being threatened by lawyers.
Does your leaving have anything to do with the bias everyone is discussing and the direction nVnews is going?volt said:Miksu said:micron said:You dont know NV News then...
Personally I've seen some change in the way nVnews is posting news nowadays. Little over a month ago they seemed to be really neutral in every post but now they seem to pick up more "nVidia-rox"-things out from the reviews. In addition they've been eager to add some stuff to front page which shows Ati in bad light. I'm not sure how long Muya has been doing all the news-stuff but if I remember correctly, there were some others who also posted on news page some time ago, and they seemed to be more unbiased. Now they've all disappearred. (No conspiracy-theories in this. Just something I've noticed).
Just my two cents.
That's about correct. Me and Baron were also posting. However I left nvnews a few weeks ago.

Seconded, I'm the curious type.DaveBaumann said:Why did you leave Volt, if you don't mind my asking?
DaveBaumann said:IIRC the 9600 PRO doesn't exist if you search through NVNEW's archives at around the time of its launch.
Why did you leave Volt, if you don't mind my asking?
volt said:IIRC, there were supposed to be 2 Radeon 9800 reviews. Or at least those were planned.

Uhm, why? What has nVidia done to be commended for lately and why would there EVER be a good reason for pushing nVidia PR?ragejg said:Look, so maybe this was a little about timing, sentiment, and the realization that a lot of the editorial contains facts that have been rehashed repeatedly...
Nothing really against the article, but I get the "I've heard it all before" feeling from it...
Please realize that the nvnews community went throught some very hard times from january until well into the nv35's lifespan... the community was inundated with immature bashers and bringers of FUD and general crapola... the past couple months has seen a turnaround in the community's standing behind nvidia and their products, and that's to be commended (the company and the site)...
I'm sorry, but I'm just flabbergasted by this post ragejg.ragejg said:i don't think I'm blowing thigs out of proportion when I say that the nvnews forums were hell for a while... full of nv-bashers, FUD spreaders, naysayers, undermedicated fanboys and n00b consumers looking for someone to yell at...
It gets old...
I certainly feel that nv has made some mistakes, but I don't make a forum career out of bashing one brand or another.
And Uttar, I don't really feel that you were bashing.. but just bringing up points that have been around the block a few times already... Mike's patience has run out on that stuff, and understandably so... he has his own fish to fry...

Don't want to get too much off topic here
I didn't leave per se, it was more like a pink slip. Me and Mike did not get along well for the past few months. We did not agree on couple of things which leads me to speculate why I was given the slip in the first place.
The arguments I received didn't justify the decision IMHO. Simply put, it was said that I was damaging NVNEWS professional ethics. I won't discuss more however.
