I occasionally visit the Corsair support forum at http://forum.corsair.com/v3/forumdisplay.php?f=188. Yesterday upon signin I was directed to read a post, and I had to read it before I could proceed to the board.
And guess what the post was? Not a change of policy, or some information about board downtime etc. No, it was shameless, arrogant, self-promotion by Corsair, advertising one of their products. Even worse, it was advertising some form of memory cooling device to fit onto their RAM chips.....yet the only Corsair product I own is an SSD drive!
This is the same Corsair forum (moderated by some ego-trip guy called Yellowbeard) which bans any reference to competitor products - you can't even reference words like Crucial or Intel without getting the words replaced with *****.
I've never, ever seen such a protectionist forum. It would seem that paranoia is a job-requirement for the mods, and a forum where free thinking is banned.
Come on Google, index this page..... Corsair Yellowbeard Wired forum SSD corsair.com
