They've been Chinese backed or owned pretty much since the beginning.

Maybe this could be a good thing. Cards and motherboards are made in china. Maybe they can get stock to the egg cheaper and faster now.

As long as they keep shipping stuff as fast as they do and their prices/selection doesn't change, I don't care if Aliens own it.

Well, that sucks. It does explain some of the more recent changes though. Like the preferred accounts getting shut down and having to re-apply for a really shady credit card deal... It's actually driven me away from using them for my parts. Their shell shocker deals have been pretty lame as well.

Make sure you don't use the word "cr4p" either... that's apparently a swear word to all the delicate ears that visit these forums. Remember, this is the era where it has somehow been deemed acceptable for individuals to expound great amounts of energy being offended on behalf of 'others' and force their opinions on the vast majority who find it mostly ridiculous.

I have noticed price increases on memory and software deals are priced higher then they were a few weeks ago.
Also there are outside venders asking insane prices, AIO refurb H60 for 140$, H110 for 180$
http://www.newegg.com/Pro...IA0AJ3V19656-_-Product
I hope people do not fall for that kind of robbery.
Fortunately there is a filter to show only deals from Newegg and not 3rd parties, but yes, Newegg has been going downhill for a while now, imo.

It's like allowing your kids to bring food which contains peanuts to school. You cannot bring food(s) that contain peanuts, or any kind of nuts to school. On another note, why is sucks allowed but the C word is not? We should vote out the word Freakin too. Lol.

Wait.. what about peanut butter sandwiches? Are they not allowed at school? How did the world manage survive for the past 50+ years without banning nuts from lunches?? How about telling the tiny % of kids with nut allergies NOT TO EAT NUTS....

If this topic was a train, it'd be in the middle of the ocean on it's way to the new owners of newegg (IE it's very de-railed)
as for newegg being bought by a Chinese company... hmm, everything I can think to say about it would be a bit close to politics I guess? New ownership isn't anything new however, company A buys company B all the time. though I do wonder why they bought 55 percent instead of just acquiring the minimum controlling ownership of just over 50 percent.

I would imagine that is why you were unofficially warned because its not a true rule violation but a personal paradigm violation by a over zealous mod, which is why it got stepped on. Trust me, there will be more crap in these forums!! :P edit: Besides all that, Crap was the guy who invented the auto siphon for toilets too I believe, which is why it has the reference it has. You cant ban history, that's just wrong.

I very recently had a post censored for it and was unofficially warned by a mod via pm, so nope, it's not ok now. Good point about CraptacularOne, wonder how they will handle that? PooptacularOne? lmao..
I would imagine that is why you were unofficially warned because its not a true rule violation but a personal paradigm violation by a over zealous mod, which is why it got stepped on. Trust me, there will be more crap in these forums!! :P
edit: Besides all that, Crap was the guy who invented the auto siphon for toilets too I believe, which is why it has the reference it has. You cant ban history, that's just wrong.
Word Origin & History "defecate" 1846 (v.), 1898 (n.), from one of a cluster of words generally applied to things cast off or discarded (e.g. "weeds growing among corn"(1425), "residue from renderings (1490s), 18c. underworld slang for "money," and in Shropshire, "dregs of beer or ale"), all probably from M.E. crappe "grain that was trodden under foot in a barn, chaff" (c.1440), from M.Fr. crape "siftings," from O.Fr. crappe, from M.L. crappa, crapinum "chaff." Sense of"rubbish, nonsense" also first recorded 1898. Despite folk etymology insistence, not from Thomas Crapper (1837-1910) who was, however, a busy plumber and may have had some minor role in the development of modern toilets. Thename Crapper is a northern form of Cropper (attested from 1221), an occupational surname, obviously, but the exact reference is unclear. http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/crap
