Bump for any NEW news posters to see the guidelines. News posting rules are NOT changed. Rules will be enforced (as always). Thank you, ~Management

Already handled. I better not name drop yet, but I have a handful of youtubers at the ready.

Absolutely agreed on every point. Maybe once the bumpy transition period is over we can figure out a way to start up some sort of news posting contest or something. That'd be kind of fun! And also agreed about E. E will be missed greatly as the site founder and original owner. (Yes, we see the ribbon thingy, yes its on the to do list to fix as we're not founders ). Honestly, I hope he still pops in and checks up on us from time to time even. I'm pretty sure he's just gotten busy. He absolutely was an enthusiast and still is. Did ya'll see some of those later reviews he published? Hot dang! The site is STILL Enthusiast ran, I think we can spin it that way. And about the paid staff thing. Who's to say that good work won't go unnoticed? Help us make the site turn a profit, and the staff will see those profits. Help us make it more profitable than that, the users will see those profits then somehow (in terms of prizes, giveaways, etc). If the site makes money, the users will see it. Full transparency (that we can legally and morally do). I'm here not as the owner (I didn't buy the site, Labrat did). Not saying we'll be offering like actual wages, but it all depends. If the bills are paid and the site is running on its own, any profit from the site (specifically) is GOING back into the site. (This is NOT any sort of confirmation, this is just what we are planning to HOPEFULLY accomplish in the future). Of course right now the site's broke monetarily. So there's nowhere to go but up from here.

I'm trying to figure out a good way to do a roll call there too. I understand not everyone on the discord is or was ever a site member here. Some where OCN moderators if I understand the system correctly. I did ask in there though too. Just trying to figure out who's all still hanging around and what positions are open and need filled.

Right, this is kinda like a roll call. I can see who's discord moderators easily enough (site stuff, I'm still digging). I can see who has assigned the roles, but I have no clue who's actually been active and wanting to remain active.

How's it going everyone? I was just sitting here, chatting with @LabRat and a few of my friends that are here. I realized something quite important. I don't have the foggiest idea of who's staff on the site we now run! That said, its also been a while since all of the staff positions were even made and filled. So, here's everybody's chance to step up! Here's what we need. We need ALL EXISTING STAFF members to please post here and let us know if you want to continue helping out. Editors, news, content creators, discord moderators, everybody. If I don't hear from you, I'm going to assume that you're no longer interested in remaining as staff and you will be replaced. We definitely need: Discord moderators News Editors / posters Right now, the main focus is just keeping the site functioning. So as of right now, we do NOT need reviewers or other content creators. If you'd like to do reviews, please use the Amateur Reviews section. That IS where we'll be seeking new review talents later on (existing review staff of course will be welcomed back once we pick up again). The rest of the site functions will be slowly returning as we dive into the backend of the site and getting everything switched over. But I think getting the community actually all onboard is probably a good first step here. So please, let us know here in the thread if you'd like to (continue to) be staff and what positions. Thank you, ~Management

Those were just examples. OCN didn't have paid staff when it was popular. I agree with the rest of it though, I'd love to see more news being posted too. It's definitely appreciated. There's a lot of tech news I end up getting only here because you guys post it.

There's a very important aspect missing from EHW. Something OCN has in spades. We're trying to get that here. Normal people....... I think its possible to grow the site still. There's still plenty of activity at other forums like LTT and TPU. Why not EHW?

That reminds me, I have a 5870 block I've still gotta take pictures of for Sir B. Those Titans are looking real good though......

I believe people call that the dead internet theory? I think? This is why I think authenticity is coming back big time. I'm noticing on other platforms, especially media platforms like youtube, rumble, x, facebook, etc that "authentic" seeming video content is gaining traction faster these days than it has been. I think you nailed it, with all of the AI generated content, the people on the platforms are probably getting desperate for real people, real content, authenticity.

Completely forgot this thread existed. Still relevant though.

Okay, that's actually pretty cool. Looking like FSR might be a decent option finally.

We are aware of a bug on Rig Builder where the Rig's name is instead replaced by the Rig's total price. We are working on a fix for this. Confirmed, the bug is present on mobile and desktop both. Thank you, ~Management

Hey there JDQ! Enjoy your stay. Lots of good information here.

Alright, the bug has been resolved. New user confirmation emails are now fixed!

I think I'm settling in around 1.15v SoC myself, and yeah that's exactly the issue I was thinking of. Glad it was resolved. Then yeah, this looks like a pretty nice board option. I might look at trying to find one later on for the 9000 series build I do when the next gen comes out. Just upgraded to a 7800x3d, so I'll probably be quite happy for a while.

Not a bad looking board. I'm not a huge fan of the huge fan on it, but having a DDR5 system, I can certainly understand the need. I wonder if they've fixed the SoC overvolt issues that Asus boards apparently were reportedly having? I was reading some forums where Asus boards are ruining things with that, like 1.35-1.40v overvolts on SoC.

We are aware of new users not receiving confirmation emails. This is a bug from the site ownership transfer. We are working on a fix for this. Enterprise is also going above and beyond in helping us through this transition, he's more aware of where the problem lies at this point since we're just getting the logins today. There is a fix, it's being worked on. Please accept our apologies to any new members, it will be fixed soon. Thank you for understanding. ~Management

The Etsy shop will continue, no worries there. Might take us a bit to get everything back going, but we're getting there slowly. There's strict rules at Etsy, that's why that wasn't transferred. We will be getting that back up, the donations button working again, and the site is going to continue AS IS for a while.....while we transition and figure all this new stuff out. We're also already partnered with a few youtubers as well, that might be popping in to help as well, depending on their skill levels and such.

If you don't mind of course. It's all going to the cause anyway, but if we're going to continue the site - the folding stuff is still all there.

Thank you @ENTERPRISE. It is our pleasure to continue the site, we can't let the place die. It needs to continue going as expected, and grow. So let's see if we can't make that happen within a year or two.

That 7990 though.......

Been watching it. Seems like 2025 could be fun!

Of course, of course.

I see the folding team already jumped ship to TPU. I could offer some prizes for the first go round to bring some back. I don't think I could keep that going though, but I can get it going the first time though.
