    What a shitshow.

    Definitely, but, I don't have another option.

    Always have. Just don't pull a conn on us.

    I would never. Make sure you don't do the same with the Miami connect.

    what Miami connect? You're threatening me now?

    LOL! Never. You don't remember mentioning the Miami connect earlier?

    I do... But what the fuck man...

    I still don't get it. You were throwing baseless accusations at me, ig, in a funny way. So, I joked about your thing. How's that threateneing and such?

    Wot? No I didn't. You said you won't get the pc but RN credit instead. Literally.

    I have never said that! I have no idea where you are getting this information from!

    I still don't understand what's bothering you.

    You know... But like , I'm done here. People ain't dumb, they can read back. Toodles

    Please do, and tell me where I said I would get rn credits instead of the gaming pc.

    Dude, watch the post above. You full of it.

    Which one?

    @dude

    No, I am serious, where have I said, I would take Rn credits instead of the gaming pc? Where exactly? Stop beating around the bush and tell me that.

    Guys, this isn't the hype I was hoping for when I went to bed.

    I was dreaming of rabbits and fluffy clouds.

    Sorry to ruin your dream.

    Shattered to pieces!

    You laugh now but I'm seriously offended by getting played.

    Nooo! He's upset my dino? Guess I won't be getting root access to your box after all. :'(

    You will, once the dust settles.

    I will await provisioning with even more anticipation than for my new HostHatch Seoul VPS.

    Well, only 6 days left. I am gonna take it slow here, from now on. If I get the PC, well and good, else, not worth the loss of peace of mind.
    Out for good.

    i say - gopherit.. you put a lot into it. do not worry about what others feel.. not sure how far ahead are you, not even looking in stats, but you should keep going. they will try to overtake you, but you been doing a good job here, you deserve to win. i would fight for it, but as i said a few times, after an hour or so doing this thread, i'd develop mad headaches, was popping 3-4x500mg aspirins a day, not good that is.. now that i'm doing my thing again - i am good, no headaches, no pills, i am glad i stopped when i did. she just don't read anything anymore, replying via a few words she noticed in post, and solicited some kind of response from her.. or they keep mindless back and forth with rat guy. they will try take PC from you.. you should keep going.

    Haha lols, that describes 99% of the posts from all of us at the top, because it's literally not possible toi get these crazy high post counts otherwise. I'll be honest, a much higher percentage of yours @bchot are interesting.

    But one criticism I've raised specifically to noob before is that sometimes it doesn't even seem like he's even read the whole comment he's replying to (on mine at least), just replied based on a couple of words. He certainly hasn't read any of the context, even though it appears right above where you type when you reply.

    Even on posts when I've tried to be sensible and reply with something useful, that's been the usual response. It's all about maximising the number of posts. On one occasion he even replied to the same comment of mine 4 times. Just stick it all in a single reply if you're actually trying to have a conversation.

    But we all know this thread isn't about conversation. It's about "engagement", which is stupid because none of this is about engament, it's about maximising posts. Dustin doesn't really want us to have a conversation either, he just wants posts so the thread stays at the top of the index. I told you guys exactly the same thing last year too.

    So, let's just be real. We all want to win the prizes. That's why we're all playing this stupid game. Let's just be honest about it.

    Obviously there have been occasional real posts, like this one, and the serious advice I was giving him yesterday. But the actual useful content from this thread could probably fit into 10 pages. The other 1300+ pages is just spam and we all know it.

    Let's all just have some fun for the few more days that are left. We are all here for the competition and the prizes, that's the truth. Most of us will prolly not even see each other around and have a chat until next year maybe. Me, I won't be very active here post the thread.
    So, let's all just hang out with each other respectfully for the few days that remain.

    Noted.

    Had 4 average viewers, but 8 viewers peak :)

    Ok. Does it matter for stream how many players are currently playing on your server?
    I mean would viewers be more interested if there are many more players?

    Nah, I don't think it matters, but it's just cool to see so many active players

    Oh yes. But, yah, maybe 15-16 members is fine for 16GB RAM

    I think it should be able to handle more players, but i haven't found any xD

    I'll gladly join.

    :o

    Dustin is happy to accept everybody into his club as long as they want their bandwidth doubled.

    Even mr or Mrs Y?

    Especially the yangyang. Probably bought more business to Dustin than his entire 11/11 campaign!

    They can have the prizes. I am not gonna try as actively as I did earlier, or might not try at all. But, as said again, I am glad I won't be actively participating in the competitions anymore. I don't think I have have what it takes to survive this anymore.
    Prolly, the relaxants have helped me from breaking down after the convo earlier.

    But, as usual, I will try to hype up any subsequent threads when I can, cause Dustin has been real kind to me over the years and I owe him and RackNerd a lot.
    And, I did get to learn a lot from everyone here and the earlier threads. So, I am grateful for that as well.
    I wish RackNerd all the success it deserves!

    it's not about anyone but more about you helping RN thread to stay on top and drum up more sales, this is what you should think about. i will get back on the DM as it's time to sleep right now. keep your chin up. only 5 days left, a WHOLE MONTH is behind, this is just peanuts, although they might turn out the hardest to swallow..

    Exactly. That's what it's always been about. There has been massive backlash about this sales technique on other threads, it's massively unpopular with a lot of forum members.

    it's the exact same reason for all the double bandwidth stuff too. Racknerd set their prices assuming the doubling. Every customer buys it assuming the doubling. Every purchase means one more spam post. That pushes it to the top. Some time later Dustin acknowledges it, even though it's already visible in their control panel, another spam post, and again the thread at the top. It's just a cheap sales trick.

    And I personally don't mind that so much as the reward is some prize. But exactly as I said last year, we all know (or should do) exactly what's going on.

    It's just very very cheap marketing ....

    Usually at the expense of other.

    Can't overshare but been active in this niche for client.

    Yah, I keep thinking about it. But, no dude, I can't put my mind through all that negativity again. Not worth it to spend more on hospital bills due to this.

    Accepting the truth of reality isn't negativity. It's worse when you consider the time cost to yourself of ignoring that truth. In any normal thread, the post counts would get to a few hundred per person at most and you wouldn't have wasted 100s of hours of your life on it.

    So honest.

    Lol! In a way, yes. Hope you guys have real meaningful convo in the upcoming threads and keep the RackNerd cheer and spirit alive.

    In the meantime, what I said earlier still stands. I would always be a RackNerd and Dustin fan and will help hype RN threads up whenever I can.

    Especially when there's a free PC in it for you.

    Or IE server but that goes without saying

    This did cast doubts on their promise of freedom of speech.

    Freedom of speech doesn't mean what you think it means.

    Often there's a thin lin between libel and freedom os speech, I understand.

    No, just google what freedom of speech is. It doesn't mean you are free to speak about absolutely anything you want. There are very defined limits.

    Asking for a friend... Does he really ship those prizes if you win em?

    Only to the US, as said in the main thread. Otherwise, it's credits. He does ship smaller items like sweater and backpack internationally cause they are racknerd merch.

    So you'll never get your pc?

    I am planning to have it shipped to my cousin in the US. He will pay me for it minus the GPU, which he will bring to me next month when he comes to India.

    I still can't believe you'd trust this "cousin", especially now he's moved to the land of the free PC.

    Ralf, I have said this multiple times how indian families work. You can drop this now, cause you guys won.
    I am gonna prioritise peace of mind over anything else now :)

    I haven't won anything. Although now I've caught up, I can see there's been lots of drama since the post I was replying to.

    FWIW I still think that if this story if true, and if you win, there is a decent chance of you never seeing the PC or the money.

    I agree.

    Dead purple train.

    Never say that. That's the forbidden word here.

    Yeah, that kind of issue requires a real doctor.

    Oh alright.

    And for example, this is a prime example of what I was talking about of replying to absolutely every post, regardless of whether there is anything to add at all.

    Doing this isn't even close to being a conversation, it's just mindless spamming a reply just to get your post count up.

    Word :)

    Is there even a keyboard??????

    Just the desktop, no keyboard, monitor or other peripherals.

    Oh, maybe I don't want it if it doesn't have a keyboard.

    Ok. Alright.

    And exactly the same here.

    For sure

    I mean, 5070ti, if available.

    That's quite a bit more but not worth the extra money for games.

    Not for games. I have mentioned this before. Trying to learn AI for work.

    Then honestly, the GPU from the prize is useless to you. Very little RAM, not many compute cores. No AI tensor cores.

    You would be better off having the money instead of the GPU and saving up to spend a bit more on something suitable. Or wait a year until the prices drop. But a 4060 is crap for AI. it is, however, great for games.

    So educational this thread, for real.

    You are absolutely right. All we have been doing is getting our post counts up.

    Agreed.

    I can atleast RMA it back when he goes back to the US, if something were to go wrong with the gpu.

    Wait what?

    Would would anything go wrong with a GPU Dustin buys? I hope you're not setting up some kind of scam with your "cousin" so that you get a GPU, he gets a PC without GPU plus the scam money from the RMA.

    I meant if anything goes wrong with the GPU. Guess these don't generally have intl warranty.

    And GPUs generally don't go wrong. It's some miniscule amount, like less than 0.1% than are faulty.

    They got good manufacturers

  • Gosh, I'm so tired. I'm off to bed. Hope you all have a wonderful magical night, and maybe Dustin will show up again to dispense some freebies. Byeeeeeaoaoa!

    Yah, I know. Initially I wanted to maybe get one of those nvidia cards specifically meant for AI, like those colab and Runpod use. I guess those like t4. One look at their prices and my dreams went crumbling down.
    As for 4060ti, I have been learning ai stuff with my apu for the past few months, so, any GPU, better, a free GPU, given prices here are already inflated is an improvement for me.

    Honest.

    But, yah, since you already have a keyboard you shouldn't worry much.

    Broken keyboard

    Wish I could move to USA.

    I thought you had a "cousin" who could fence this PC for you!

    Yes, if I was in the USA I could get it on my own and won't have to wait

    Honestly, that's about the weirdest reason you could have for wanting to live in the US.

    Wanting to live there voluntary is weird.

    Yes, that's true. But, right now with vram shortage, companies are ready to invent reasons to deny rma and warranty.
    Earlier this month, I read a zotac customer's review, where zotac wouldnt give him a replacement but was ready to dispose of the GPU for him for free :lol:

    Ah, free gpu. Always great.
