I was about to say something about the off topic griping this morning, but decided against it. At least the moderators are watching. I was beginning to wonder.
I noticed that the whining really started to increase after Thanksgiving and it has grown steadily worse since then. What needs to happen? A "no whining" policy? Another button next to the "flag as spam" button that has "whining" with a diagonal strike through it? A separate "come here to whine" thread could be created pretty easily, but I doubt anyone would use it.
I admit that I complained after I canceled my 3897 time stamp right before it came up because I wanted a HC instead, and then the HC delay was announced like three days later. That sucked because I probably would have kept the 3897 had I known that. Oh well, so it goes. Even that complaint was queue related though. It was nowhere near the "Evil Nvidia is hiding chips from us again" conspiracies that are going around here now. I can only speak for myself, but I don't want to hear about that. I want to read about the time stamps falling and the ensuing joy. I want to read enewts updates and not have to scroll through a bunch of spam to find them. Spam = off topic posts, by the way.
