Talking I am still here. The site is not dead.

What I have been saying for a long time is now more truer than EVAR!
Mike has decided to stop messing around with this fabulous website that he created, so he will be turning over complete control of the site to me and my pal Don.

Mike will be sending me all the passwords and data we will need to make this site our bitch very soon. Don and I are hoping to get some work done on the site the week of Thanksgiving because I will be off from my day job for the whole week.

The first thing I want to do is to get the ads working again so that the site can pay for itself. Then I want to fix some things that have been bothering me for a long time while we plan out what will become GPUReview 2.0!

Good, I am very happy that you are going to make this site more active again. I still use this site quite often but luckiliy the Gpu world has not changed much since that last time Mike was here.

Other than a superlatives change (I know, once again) to be in touch wih new cards/prices and some forum bugs (sometimes when you post/reply, it does not show up for quite a while, sometimes days) the site should be able to become very active again with just some TLC and more front page news.

Glad to hear the site still has potential! The way it's been, there's only been an occasional new thread every few weeks. It's like a ghost town here! Hopefully not for long though!

The Superaltive list is updated. The high-end PCI-E card did not change, the AGP cards did not change, but everything else did.

AMD now owns 5 of the 7 spots in the PCI-E realm.

The words "assuming direct control" come to mind...

Anyways, cheers.
Looking forward to the site becoming more or less alive once again.

Ok--yes, figured out how to get by the whole, "you've not got permission to view this page, etc." Just hit the reload button whenever it pops up, and viola!
