    What's the weirdest/strangest thing you've seen on this site in all of your years?

    This thread :D

    ---

    No, two things. I'll keep it generic, but it can totally baffle me how personal and violent people can get in a discussion. Mods and I then have to intervene, and then we're the bad guys. The crap you see fired upon you once you step in, that is the strangest. Being called *****, people starting a PM or email say Hey Adolf (and fill in the rest).

    Secondly, the stuff that you guys do not see. Each day there are dozens of spam bot at the gates trying to get in (and real people) trying to post stuff that you would never ever believe.

    I mean, buying fake passports from a weird newbie guy at a forum ... are people fleeing a country actually interested in that and go, yeah .. hmm let's go visit the Guru3D forums and see where I can buy my fake ID. So weird.

    @Hilbert Hagedoorn Was there some problem with the forum today? I couldn't post in some threads like that thread about Google messing with chrome.

    I have seen two complaints about that and have isolated the thread to investigate as to how and why. I, however, am able to post in it. Might be a server connection thing, however, it was night time.

    @Hilbert Hagedoorn I posted the thread about Google messing with ad-blockers on the News section, got two responses on that thread, then poof, the thread just vanished and also the alerts.
    Talking about weird stuff.

    So I have investigated this. It's your ad-blocker.
    Murphies law, the words likely triggers your ad-blocker into doing weird stuff. The second I installed one, the thread became unresponsive. Karma.

    Some of us appreciate what you and the mods do here. Even when we're the ones in the wrong....

    Oh, don't get me wrong, not complaining here as it's rare and comes with the territory. 99.99% is good stuff and friendly people.

    But every now and then it's stuff like this:

    You procreating useless bags of shite. If you don't get my picture off your procreating forum, I'm gonna lose my procreating temper. You obviously condone your procreating members taking the procreating piss out of people at random. If you don't procreating remove my procreating picture, I am gonna spread some seriously bad crap about your procreating racist, ***** procreating forum.

    And for this one-time-only example that I'll be showing, that's the side you guys never get see which I categorize as the weird/strange stuff.

    I'm not really sure I want to know what led to that message being sent. I'm sure Hilbert was professional though, as I know how the interactions I've had with him have been.
