I have departed OcUK - So am I welcome here?

[Oakey]

Beginning of the end for OcUK is it Gibbo?

I do sometimes miss the old feuds between certain Hexus members and Spie and his forum mods.

That and getting into the Dons Rooms repeatedly and leaking threads to all and sundry

[Saracen]

Well you're right to address it Saracen, but at the same time you seem to be the only one who picked up on it.

Only one so far, Pob.

I doubt it'd have stayed unaddressed, so I was, if you like, trying to cauterise the subject before it took off.

I didn't want to just shut down the issue without addressing and/or answering it, but nor do I really want to see it take off, because I've seen that. all too often before.

So the approach was to try to explain, then shut it down before it becomes an issue. Bear in mind, defamation can get people sued. If you call an individual a Nazi, and that individual is identified or identifiable, it opens that door. If such accusations damage that individual, then you have the basic elements of such a case. And, potentially, it wouldn't just be the person making the defamatory statements that gets sued, but the "publisher".

Defamation is an expensive business. It costs a lot to bring an action, and a lot to defend it, regardless of outcome. So, if you make such defamatory statements, and that person has the resources to spend £50k or so on a lawsuit, you're taking a whopper of a chance.

Therefore anyone feeling inclined to take such chances is cordially invited to take that chance somewhere else, 'cos Hexus doesn't want to be sitting beside them in court.

I remember Gibbo now, the days of the old Athon AXIA(?) I think it was, signed up on the OCUK forums and went from there to GSV, then to here...
I also remember issues with Spie from the past being a bit ott with the running of the board and putting his boot/personal issues with people into action on the board, the general concensus being his board his rules, so I left...

Oh, and Aria Giovanni.... Mmmmmmm

HI there

Yep that is indeed me, I was able to get an AXIA upto 2GHz in the Vapochill though it was not stable at that speed but at the time it was consider quite special and back then was very quick. Yep its my old sig back in use.

Yep that's why I said you were right to address it
And addressing it not just deleteing it is a sign of a good Mod and one of the reasons I've stayed with Hexus.

Now I'll stop hijacking the thread, honest guv

ah just had a quick read, thanks for the info

[PMM]

Just between you and me, rumours have it that when you hit 10000 posts hexus sends you a pair of strippers

I have 11,000+ posts ..."Not here though"... Will Hexus still send the Strippers

Don't worry Gibbo I'm not stalking you I'm signed up everywhere nice to see you here too (I am here most days but rarely post here).

@pumpman... TPR as Gibbo mentions is 'Team Pheonix Rising' we were the original OcUK 1st major fallout basically formed by all the Big Seti geeks in Nov 2001.

[staffsMike]

10000 posts eh? SPAM at the ready

You say that as if we'll notice the difference (j/k)

There was one before TPR which is even further back in the depths of time. Some of them ended up and Overclocking store and then tekheads.

Ah that takes me back

Hi there

Yep when you think about it were talking about nearly 10 years actually, its a bloody long time and does indeed bring back some good memories, at least now there are great places to go to be amongst the old fold again.

[PMM]

A few more old names excluding a few who have already posted here can be found hiding out at the .. Digi-Darkroom

To be honest I think latish 1999 is the furthest I can Semi Recall, think I joined about the same time as MindYerBeak.

I do miss the good old day a bit TBH.

[Blitzen]
