Incontrol said this was as big as Intel / Monster, so would be weird to see them change to RCEG if they didn't use EGMonster or something similar. Will probably just be a new "I want to thank our wonderful sponsors Intel Monster RaidCall Steelseries Kingston HyperX Beyond Gaming and Sapphire. Also check out our other sponsors at myeg.net" | ||

The relationship a consumer has with an advertisement is very different from the relationship one of our forum members has with a post. When claims are made that can't be backed up, especially by people who are not veterans of our community, we call bullshit and get rid of them. edit: In other words, if everyone thinks puffery is now a perfectly acceptable defense of claims made in posts, then you've all lost your fucking minds. | ||

If a statement isn't meant to be taken seriously, it must have some value outside of its literal meaning in order to be worth our time, like humor.
