The question is not which does more work in your PC, the question is if it is more worthwhile to pump extra money into your CPU or GPU, and I have produced benchmarks (and there are more on that site if you want to fish around) proving its more cost effective to put your money into a GPU for a gaming application. Regardless of how it SHOULD work, in real life sometime stuff works out different. Unless you can produce benchmarks or something real proving otherwise, there really isn't a point in continuing this discussion.

Before this argument gets too heated, I come bearing benchmarks
 
CPU Benchmarks - Compare Products on AnandTech
 
GPU 2015 Benchmarks - Compare Products on AnandTech
 
Those are the differences in frame rate for GTA V for different CPUs and GPUs respectively. Benchmarks are love. Benchmarks are life. (Benchmarks for othere games are there as well if you feel like looking around, I just figured everyone loves GTA so its a good start)

yes, LOADING.... and once that is done, it doesn't make a difference anymore. Isn't that what I said? yes, definitely put your OS and startup programs on it so you can boot fast, but don't buy more of them or bigger ones just for games, it's a waste.

It's bigger waste to buy an SSD period, if you're not going to all your games on it. If you need more space than 500gb, a 1tb sshd would be a good addition.
 
1TB ssds are a complete troll though. It just means you don't know how to free up space properly. You can free up a good 50gb/500gb of space using disk cleanup and the community winapp2.ini for ccleaner. And put stupid things like torrent downloads which degrade the life of your ssd on sshd. Plus games you're only going to launch once or twice are fine on sshd.

Alright since many people are dumb and don't know the difference between a threat and an insult.
 
Someone saying "kill urself" isn't a threat, it's massive disrespect. I swear if i see one more person say "HURRR DEATH THREAT" i'm gonna blow a blood vessel. Out right perming people for this act is ludacris and should be delt with as massive disrespect and shouldn't be a 1 warning thing.

I'm of course talking to @Diamonde @Flareon @Ohstopyou @Scootaloo. The fact that this rule is "being discussed" is obvious that something so simple is not being discussed. 9/10 saying such horrible things is because of someone being upset and i'm not saying jrulez8 deserves an unban, he broke multiple rules. and @Matsi at one point we DID have admin disrespect as rule but was changed to be a global disrespect rule. If you wish to take a stronger action against such disrespect make it a 3 day ban or something BUT after following protocol (verbal/text warning, mute/kick, ban). and if he comes back then increase to a week and then a perm. To out right perm people for saying this is ludacris and eventually will start throwing perms around like candy. for example.
 
 
this person was permed with the reason "death threat" mentioned before it's more than likely not a death threat. and this person hasn't been banned before so why the perm? (i'm not blaming any mods or admins for following the so called 'rule'). Even with THREATS we gave each individual multiple chances especially with more serious suicide threats by individuals i won't name unless told to.
 

 
 
and before you say "but there is no difference" yes, there is a massive difference between kill urself and i'm going to murder you. Kill urself is just edgy teenagers who found the internet and think being le epic maymay troler makes their e-penis hard, while actual threats are of obvious anger issues.
 
Also @ChickenPanda Death threats against ANYONE is equally concerning. Staff aren't higher than others. An immediate perm is ludicrous and isn't fair, regardless of how the player acts. jrulez was indeed right in the situation however again i'm not saying you guys should unban him because his reaction in the thread alone confirms he's a total edge-lord.
 
also @Diamonde next time please provide a screen shot of the chat logs and do NOT copy and paste, copying and pasting makes your evidence invalid. Someone didn't point this out to you so i'm trying to help you out for future reference.
 
If half of this sounds retarded and or doesn't make sense or i'm repeating myself, it's because i'm tired and only saw the thread and wanted to make something before i forgot. good luck admining.

took me 2 minutes of not tagging people to look it up to see he has been banned a few times for trolling and racism prior to the perm, and then a quick look at the profile of this user showed his last ban protest which indicates the perm was for suicide threats. that shit is taken serious and the directive behind those is perm ban; no appeal. straight from the man upstairs.
 
@kbraszzz @Shawarma @diabeetus @ThePenguin @Bach

This has suddenly just turned into a flame war about Eeveelutions.
 
You're forgetting that this is a ban request and not a "Let's blame an entire group of people for a mistake one of them made"
 
Because I personally feel as if this ban, with Akatsuki's side, is just an accident and she didn't mean it. After all, she was playing Pyro.
 
If you STILL want to blame an entire group of people, then blame me. I encouraged them to join.

i think you meant how, and clearly not. csgo does not trade by the potential of nothing to something. your best chance is getting a 5 cent increase, not 40 cents.
 
this isn't tf2. we look at prices, and the fluxuation of them, we are not 12 year olds, we are not stupid (you can combine the last 2 if you want)

All bans are from the forum. If you have questions feel free to contact the nearest CL.

Alright, let me go ahead and break this down step by step. Bold is my response.
 
"So I was just playing RPG surf, then this raging little kid, named "Bonk" came on.
That is partially correct. Bonk came on the server at: Sep 10, 2014 6:10:01 pm. And said hi to the server. He was not a raging little kid though as he simply enlightened everyone to his appearance.
 
And immediately he started harassing me!
Saying "hi" is not harassment. Following that initial typed word, he says "HOLAAA COMO ESTASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS". Then goes on to ask someone not to delay, in which you respond "fuck u" and then "dont tell me what to do". He then asks the server to "rtv pls" as he most likely doesn't like the map. At this point it is 6:11:30, it has been over a minute and he has not harassed you yet, in fact you have started to harass Bonk.
 
Bonk then notices KraytosXG has xG in his name, and asks "kraytos are you in xG?". He repeats his question to which Kraytos says "no why?". Bonk asks him to kindly take the xG out of his name, at which point Kraytos responds and Bonk learns it was part of his name, not intentional.
 
Bonk then says "kawaii pls take xG out of your name", who in this situation is Ribbit. Shortly later Bonk says again, "but kawaii i know youre not in xG so pls take those tags out". Which is a valid statement as you had a name that was not recognized.
 
TRIVIA TIME
Ribbit says_______ in response to Bonks request (he let them both know to change before the next round):
a) Says "Yes I am in xG, my forum name is Ribbit."
b) Says "I'm sorry, I am an xG member"
c) Says "Fuck you, i do what i want, you don't know me".
 
If you said A or B, sorry that is not correct, only the appropriate response to the situation. C is in fact the correct answer.
 
After Ribbit says "Fuck you, i do what i want, you don't know me", Bonk says "youre not allowed to have tags on ifr youre not in the clan". Although the spelling is despicable, this is another opportunity for Ribbit to easily enlighten Bonk with the fact that she is a member.
 
After a short period of time, Bonk slays himself for an unknown reason. Ribbit replies with "rekt". Following shortly after by saying "damn bitches be mad". Bonk replies "do you wanna get banned?". Although an interesting response, nothing has happened as of yet and almost can be taken as yet another warning.
 
Unfortunately, Ribbit replies with "do u wanna get banned? bitches dont know shit".
 
Bonk lets Ribbit know "because thats how you get banned"
 
Ribbit questions Bonk's ability to do anything about the situation with saying "rofl. no he can't". Bonk assures Ribbit of his ability.
Bonk says "wanna see?" With a reply from Ribbit of "u wanna see what happens?" In which Bonk is confused for a moment which leads to him asking "is that a ddos threat?"
 
Moving on...
 
Ribbit then later calls Bonk a "dumbfuck 10 year old" "are you fucking stupid. o wait yes you are"
 
Bonk then bans Ribbit for a period of an entire lifetime, or 5 minutes. He also has to type in "!ban fuck 5 take them tags off". I would assume the name of ribbit at this time includes the word "Fuck" and is probably targeted at Bonk. Many question the length of this ban, as did I, until I realized how many chances Ribbit had to either tell Bonk the truth about being a member, or remove the tags. Instead, disrespect came from Ribbit and I believe a short ban was necessary.
 
Ribbit returns.
 
"Damn thats some funky shit" says Ribbit
Bonk says, "Oh. He's back"
Ribbit replies "lmfao, u mad kid?"
 
Bonk, getting frustrated replies "fuck yopu, dude, take the tags off or its an hour ban"
Ribbit obviously replies with "oh man this bitch so made, how about this"
 
This continues, with Bonk in fact freeslaying from what I can tell one time. Eventually Ribbit is banned. There was no disrespect from Bonk.
 
Here is a list of things Ribbit says to Bonk after I stopped with the
dialogue:
 
all it says is that you're a whiney bitch
fuck u bitch
u dont know hsit
lil boy so mad
you're a bitch nigga
BTW at this point another player says "dude what do you gain from taunting an admin"
just a lil bitch boy
are u stupid
you're clearly not an admin
admins arnt 12
what a bitch boy
 
 
!ban xeno (ribbit) 60 disrespect, arguing, still wont take tags off. cya
 
If you could go ahead and let me know where Bonk was harrassing you, that'd be great. He did in fact slay you for no apparent reason, and that will be discussed by DM's outside this forum and it is a more minor point of this situation. I would like to mention that as far as I can tell, Bonk actually displayed one of the better attitudes and patience I have seen in a long time.
 
Claiming that I am not in xG,
Yes, you are correct. Did you happen to correct him though when he gave you numerous times to? Let's take a quick look back again.
 
"Fuck you, i do what i want, you don't know me"
 
That looks like a no.
 
And that he "knew for a fact" that I am not in xG, when I am clearly in xG, and I was supporting my xG-ness by having the name [xG] XENOGAMERS [xG}.
 
That's great that you were supporting your "xG-ness". Except using profanity and harassing staff members is not conducive of someone that should be in xG.

Then he went on to slay me for no reason! And then banned me twice, for "take off tags little boy". I don't understand why you let little kids run rampet with mod?
Unfortunately, he did slay you for no reason, at least as far as I can tell. Good news though. It didn't seem like you were upset at all about that. Hell, he even apologized about that and understand in the moments of you harrassing him and making his job difficult, he made a mistake.
 
We do our best not to let "little kids run rampet" with moderator powers. And in this case, it looks like one of our moderators who does a fairly good job has been harassed.

Something has to be done about this travesty, and for the future of xG. Please no more bad mods!"
 
Something has now been done about this travesty. It appears that you have provided a lot of false information in this thread in an attempt to get a staff member in trouble. Unfortunately, I have yet to find what you call a travesty and actually have found a failure on your part. For the future of xG, we do our best as always to pick people that can handle moderator positions.
 
Please do not come onto our servers and act in such a manner that not only causes a scene, but that is blatant harassment against others. If you have had the time to check out other areas of the forum, you may have noticed that harassment is actually something that can be a legal issue. If you continue to harass people, especially those that I have direct watch over, I will make sure that proper punishment is taken.
 
Also would l like to enlighten you to some basic forum etiquette.

"You think I give a fuck about you bitches crying about disrespect? Everyone fucking disrespects, you disrespected, if you think I'm not going to disrespect an idiot who can't comprehend basic things and tries to act superior to people, even though they're 12, you have another thing coming."
 
Making an Abuse Report about a staff member that supposedly harrassed you does not usually require that you call said person an idiot uncapable of comprehending basic things. I have seen a good majority of your of your well worded posts and comments throughout this forum and would also request you stop harrassing and disrespecting not only members of CSS, but all members of this community. If you want to show your "xG-ness" as you were so worried about in the server, feel free to show respect to others both on the servers and on this forum. Congratulations, you have now been warned about harassment both on our servers and in the forum; continuing this inspiring behavior will get you banned.
 
Now I thank you for your time, and hope that if you ever have any concerns you may take a moment to let Dr. Lee, Cristo, or I know at any time. Thanks for playing on the server and enjoy the rest of the night.
