Ow, come on, it's so easy bashing THG. Please refrain from bullying them or i'll feel compelled to defend those ridiculous, pompous and lifeless idiots.
Oops i did it.
Nahh really what was in their minds when they decided to edit that photo ??
Let's state the facts
- They OC'ed a P4 to unholy speeds -> with proper cooling and power feeding, i don't see what's wrong there
- They decided to put up the results in a provoking article, just to get bashed by acneic and immature AMD fanboys -> again i don't see whats wrong there
- They decided to give some life to the article with a "gutter press headline" plot -> that's their very problem, what counts is the results. It's not a good point for a pretending-to-be-serious review site but well...
- To enlighten it some more they added a faked photo, seemingly to sustain the "stolen P4 sample" plot idea -> The problem is, it's aint obvious. Say, if they had painted the number with a big red brush, no one would have complained and eveeryone would have understood the initial idea.
Now the result is, all this looks like a fake. The plot is fake, the photo is a (non-first-sight-noticeable) fake, so why the whole article wouldnt be a fake ?
Say, if they edited the P4 photo in a way no one would notice at first sight, why didnt they fake bench results, POST photos and so on ?
Thats it, gutter press sensationalism killed the last milligram of credibility they still had.
Yes, i was still reading their GPU or Mobo round-ups, the photos and graphs were good.
The TH News section was lost since they started copy/pasting PR releases.
Now the reviews section is lost as well.
What's left ? A forum polluted polluted with kiddies and idiots.. not much.
It seems TH died a 9/11 as well... what a sad day.
