    Gotta ask, what the hell is Stringent doing here?

    I met him on Saturday at the Dabs.com LIVE event... he's not our demographic... he's tall, slim, good looking... no acne, Mountain Dew or even an anorak in sight!

    Jeez... how can we propagate a stereotype with chaps like him around?

    LOL! Aww cheers mate! Was great to meet you finally in person. I was a bit shy to ask for a photo with you though!

    Hope you got all you wanted done.

    again, another thing i miss simply because its not in the southwest . I want to move to london so i can actually attend most of these damn things!.

    I think the old achne etc sterotyping is long gone since you know the computers and keyboards/mice/headsets etc have got better and all less damaging to the environment aka your room with the computer in it, the nerds have been affected much less now .

    But if you move to London you won't be able to afford to attend these things...

    You should try living in Manchester some time....

    p.s. Is that really an NVidia logo on a "Future of Gaming" banner? Really? Really?

    To be honest, I think it is quite disgusting actually Nick. I mean how dare he break the stereotype us geeks have worked so hard to build?

    Forum ban is deserved i think!
