Aayush Arya challenged me to prove that I got album art for all my albums in WMP & Media Center, & he will pay me Rs 1k. I proved it but he chinked away saying "I won't pay, I never said". Although it was right there in Official Mac thread.

Re: Historical events in Thinkdigit forum!!!11

Back in 2004

We had a member - Vinny. He was intelligent and his writing style was great. But his language was very sharp and rude sometimes. Sometimes he wrote adult matters too, that also in western living styles.

In short, majority of the members were getting angry and Mods had to take action. After a few more heated up debates, he started writing very provocative and abusive posts about a minority religion. And things became worse. The chit chat and fight club were not there then. Mods took immediate action but he kept on making new ids like
TheUndead, deleted_empathy,TimothyMcVeigh etc. I tried to solve it by talking to Raaabo, dexter, other mods and this guy. Raaabo was very active in forum those days. But it was all out of control.

Finally he left the forum. dexter cleaned up all the threads. I still remember him because some of his posts were excellent. But that incident showed us how people goes both extremes. I think he was an IIT dropout.

Re: Historical events in Thinkdigit forum!!!11

There was an epic battle between "Which game had the best graphics, Doom III or Half Life 2?"

I suppose Gx will remember this as it was between him & Enoonmai. Those had some massive amount of knowledgeable posts I had ever seen. Too bad they removed that thread.

Also there was a heated debate in a topic called "fanATIcs V/S nVidiaots" That had been raised to an extreme level of fanboyism. Was a very interesting read again.

God I miss those days back when I joined the forum. :D

Re: Historical events in Thinkdigit forum!!!11

I remember the shalu sharma one!!!!!! well at that time last book of Harry Potter series was to be released. Everyone was supercharged!!! Just few days before the official release of book , pirated edition of book in the collection of photographs of book had come out on the net!! Some girl(as was claimed by the member) named Shalu Sharma had read the book and had posted some big spoiler in the thread. or she was exchanging her thoughts on the book with another member Quiz Master, which obviously contained spoilers. Some other unfortunate member or guest had accidentally read the spoilers , as there was no spoiler warning. This pissed that member so off that he created a new id based on Pink Floyd's album (Dark side of the moon, i think) and as claimed by him, actually Hacked into that female Shalu's account!!! (I dunno how is that possible or how true was the claim.......was it some kind of Spell from Hogwards???). The hacker said it was to take revenge from shalu for spoiling the book and went on to prove that Shalu is a fake and was indeed Quiz master himself with an alibi. THe now defaced female Shalu came back with a new id and did some crying and said goodbye to forum. I still dunno how right Dark side of the moon in his claim, but he entertained us a lot.

That was an EPIC thread.

I joined the forum in Sept 07 and spammed all over this forum. Do you need something more historical?

I used to favor OpenGL a lot at that time due to learning 3ds Max :D, later on I jumped in DirectX & WPF due to which I found how correct Enoonmai was cos OpenGL is only workstation centric & hardly general purpose like DirectX (DirectDraw, WPF etc etc)

I used to talk to shalu too & after her ID was hacked, I was banned by mehul cos he claimed I was endorsing piracy (which I was not) & everyone thought its a big conspiracy :p

Re: Historical events in Thinkdigit forum!!!11

Though I did not witness that personally as I joined much later, I remember someone mentioning that once when the forum was poorly managed, without any upgrades, etc, the mods went on strike.

I don't know how much of this is true, but can somebody confirm this and tell us more about this?
