The Mods are COMPETING :)

[Zak33]

Yup......at the beginning of this week, David gave me a chance to run a compo for the hard working Mod team.

Effectively, the rules were as follows (although we changed them to this after a bit of debate)

The "New Thread" each of them creates had to attract the maximum attention, get the highest number of, positive feedback, be the most informative AND then the Mods have to vote for each others threads.

Here's the list so far:

Deckard has done two:
Chrstmas Dinner How to make a Christmas dinner! which is so funny it hurts to read AND this VId Card Debate Are we being sold the modern day version of snake-oil? which has even got ATI's people involved ...and NOW cos of that Andrzej from ATI is posting all over the place :0 to help YOU lucky Hexites

Ferral has been mammothly busy too: Memorable Gaming Moments Memorable moments is a right rollicking look back at the heart rate changes in your games, and this Emulation Thread WinUAE Emulation AND this Firefights Thread Firefights & Battles AND this one about 3d Gaming 3D : A Brief History busy little monster isn't he doing a great job keeping you guys Gamed Up

Headbrace, our Apple Dude has gone and compiled a history of the iPod: Its simple, fantastic, and if ya like your music on the move its ESSENTIAL reading. Headbrace has done this before, suprised us with sheer brilliance, rather than simple genius! Everything you wanted to know about iPods

Kez..late starter has decided, rightly so, that we need informing of Multi meters...and if you dont have one..>SHAME ON YOU...get reading

Lowe has, frankly excelled himself with THE defacto article for us to understand Digital Audio How Digital Audio works ....even if you dont think you wanna know, read it. Its well worded, and awesome Loads of Mods have learned stuff in one easy read. You should too. And as Lowe will tel you, its not the size, it's what you do with it


Stoo has decided to track down the best tricks, and coolest PC things that ARENT always obvious. Its really very good. http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.p...827#post352827 cos this is good, money saving, hard hitting value. He's also robbed other peoples ideas and I STRONGLY suggest you go read it...AND join in.

Then there's Vaul. How on EARTH he came up with this is beyond me. It is one of the worlds finest INTERACTIVE (ie he'll change it if you shout liud enough) guides on building a GAMING RIG. Frankly its good enough for a book.
Building A Gaming Rig - A Living Document. (A HEXUS Project)


Now I need you all to peruse, and cast votes..not here...but in the threads. We all understand the "feel good" thing that happens on line....you FEEL good ...better than others... like an Atmosphere. We try our hardest to keep you all entertained AND to keep you all safe from Trolls and Spammers...but we all decided to give back too....to entertain you. A mods job is manyfold. These guys have SLAVED



And its not closed cos any other mod can join in and pip them all to the post!!

What do you think? Go read, enjoy, digest, cogitate and then comment.
On Christmas Eve the MODs will be asked to vote on each others threads.
On Christmas Eve David and I will decide.....by a combo of votes and your input on who wins.

The prize.

[Lee @ SCAN]

[Zak33]

I'm not allowed in....it was kinda my idea...

besides...Genius POURS from my every.....err....pore

so its only fair they get a chance.

[Zedmeister]

Interesting. Is there a forefeit for the loser?

[Zak33]

dont ask that....ever

[Zedmeister]

Well soon zak, you'll reach post number 10,000! How do you feel about that?

[Nick]

He's dreading it, there's a bug in VBulletin that resets everyone's post count to zero if anyone reaches 10,000... apparently the VB coders didn't think anyone would ever spam a board long enough to hit that high...

[Zedmeister]

It's like the millennium bug only worse. The zakian bug!

[Zak33]

pahh.....my 10,000th is a mere blip on my otherwise larger bigger more substantial target.

Million....you KNOW it!

[TiG]

heh the funny thing was i knew something was going on, i hadn't picked up on all of the mods doing it, but Ferral posting several thread starters, sorry dude but its unheard of

But as much as i've enjoyed Deckards Cooking thread, i think his Snake oil thread was superb

You knew something was up? Awww man, it was supposed to be a secret.

Too clever for us, you lot are. No flies on Hexus users.
