<sigh> I finally find a good home........

Man keep the doors open...... even with having my own site I still come here daily.....this is a great place.....!!!

Rayder · Aug 19, 2003, 10:40 AM

Close DH!?! Bite your tongue!! You tryin' to scare us or something?

NO NO NO by all means keep it open. Did you suffer some head trauma overnight or something?

j/k

I vote to stay open, of course. I consider this place to be one of the best and most respectable forums on the net!

The ONLY reason I haven't donated is because I'm currently unemployed and money apparently thinks I'm dead.

Dom · Aug 19, 2003, 10:42 AM

Your opinions matter here guys - vote.

Dyre Straits · Aug 19, 2003, 10:46 AM

This site has an exceptional 'all around' appeal to me. It's my most often visited site for information and tech support.

the site is running very strong. I don't know what others are talking about. But at times there are unneccssary posts made by Dom in the evening (no offense) but you guys have a lot of good links. And driver news has been slow... Nvidia hasnt made any large driver changes, nor has ATi, and creative is just never will get their drivers out (3 most used brands). But I find this place really good CAUSE IT HAS A LOT LESS GOD DAMN NERDS THAN HARD OCP THEY PISS ME OFF!

tek · Aug 19, 2003, 10:55 AM

Are you serious Z ?

Why would you even start a vote like this, its completely unneccessary, everybody loves this place.

If it were ever to close I'd quit my comp. hobby, no joke.

This place kicks ass and always will kick ass, now point me to whoever said this place needs help, I'll take em out.

Wretch · Aug 19, 2003, 11:03 AM

I for one, check driverheaven.net every single day for the latest news. I have tried many others but I find this site to be of particular interest to me (and my ATI 8500) =) Best wishes, Wretch

GravY · Aug 19, 2003, 11:07 AM

My post count might not be high, but I visit DH all the time, has a wealth of info..

dmaister · Aug 19, 2003, 11:08 AM

this site is awesome, i mainly come here to read the news and a couple of forums threads, every time i check in this site there are new headlines, its really worth visiting here, dont close!

konvict · Aug 19, 2003, 11:09 AM

My immediate thought when I read the post about the site not having what it used to have was that seemed to be how I felt as well. I feel the that the news should be posted differently. I think there is plenty of news to create categories in the left column or even at the top and there is such a wide variety of topics, it's hard to weed through the damn P3512KXP motherboard reviews and XXPO#H32d Ball-less SuperMasterCoolTurboIntercooled Case Fan.

z, take some time to reconsider. go clear your head on a vacation...unplug for awhile...dh is in capable hands.

if the responsiblities of maintaining this site are overloading the noggin...might i suggest implementing an 'administrator for a day or week' contest? you could then roll up those short shorts, get some sun, and live deliberately for awhile.

come out to vegas z. steph and i would be thrilled to have you as our guest.

Al_Vampyre · Aug 19, 2003, 11:14 AM

I would hate to see DH go, the memebers here are a fount of information on just about any subject and thats why I love it...

I'm feeling a little rundown myself!

~~HawK~~ · Aug 19, 2003, 11:17 AM

I joined up in may 13-2002, but at that time the site was not for me, to ruff, to wild, to fast,
& came only occasional, for some review & so.
on may this year I bought an Ati9700 and needed some info & support, went first to an Ati site,
which I shall not name, and wasent able to find wat I was looking for,
then remembered DH, found my passwoord again, and all the answers I needed.
Now 300 post later Im still here, and will stay if I can, couse it has matured in a way I never thought it would be
So thanks Zardon & Mads (moderators & Admins (mister))

If I had the money I would make a donation,
but need every dime on the fact of having a very small pension...

So forget the few who think the site is no good, the rest should DONATE if they can!!!,
buy the new equipment one month later!!... please?

Kombatant · Aug 19, 2003, 11:19 AM

This may not be the main site/forum I hang out, but I still visit it, even as a lurker. I vote 'stay'

Nexus · Aug 19, 2003, 11:26 AM

lynch mob on the ones who said this place sux and caused Z to consider starting this poll. Zardon dont have any doubts about this site not being good this place rocks regardless of what comes out of anyones keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Asmoday** · Aug 19, 2003, 11:28 AM

CLOSE DH????!!!

... [SIZE=xx-large]NO FUCKING WAY!!![/size]

BurL · Aug 19, 2003, 11:28 AM

Please do not close up!!! Ever since I started building my own rigs DH has been a staple in troubleshooting and informative hardware reviews for me, so I say again PLEASE DON'T SHUT DOWN.

swimtech · Aug 19, 2003, 11:30 AM

I come here every day for the exceptional news (Thanks Dom, and others...) and , of course, the incomparable (even better that ATI's own site) ATI card/driver support.

I don't know how many agree, but I think the news reported and repeated here is probably the best compilation of computer related news on the English speaking web (no offense intended - I just can't read German, French, etc.).

Keep up the great work - all y'all!

Stormy · Aug 19, 2003, 11:34 AM

Dom's the man! I'd never find out about alot of stuff without DH! *gathers together a lynch mob*

cmac · Aug 19, 2003, 11:35 AM

Please Don't close it down. Your news updates are fantastic and the forumns are great too. I hit the site everyday. I'm going to send in a donation too if it will help.

so let me extend the invitation to you and forni as well.

in all seriousness...z, you created a good thing here. many people have benefited from dh and will continue to do so. pack up the camel toe and lets hit the tables together.

FluffyChicken · Aug 19, 2003, 11:40 AM

Well I like the site.

But you should keep it specific. Read you name. 'DRIVERHEAVEN' keep this site mainly driver based.

You have the kX project in here, NVIDIA and ATI driver mods including the mobility mod.

That and expanding the 'driver' aspect should be your main focus.
All the NEWS that keeps getting posted (as it's not really news, it just copied of other sites, no offence meant dom etc..) so be slowed down. It's not needed and pointless.
We can goto War2Search or The Inq, The Reg and Neowin etc.. which is where most of it is collected from. We all know the site's
Or have asmall column down the site to have links to this sort of news. The main new should be about drivers or thing related to it.

Post Driver news, (but still anything REALLY important)
The competitions are good though. Keeps the place alive, although I leave it to all you boy racers that can afford it or must have the latest hardware

But please, being like the rest, means that. JUST being like the rest. Be different! That's what we need.

How to optimise drivers, how to mod drivers, tuning drivers, driver reviews. Driver comparisons etc..
I know there are specific site, but if you grab the broad range, get SIS, Intel. Try VIA, nForce information too.
Start having driver review (unfortunatly this takes time). But member can Review them as well.

Notice a theme... DRIVERS... that why I came here.. As it becoming more or less similar to other site I start coming here lees as I know it will just be the same stuuf I read there

(PS I voted keep it, and been coming to here way longer than my reqistration assumes)

crunchysuperman · Aug 19, 2003, 11:40 AM

I never post here, and the news isn't usually anything I've not read at half a dozen other places. But DH has a unique relationship with ATi, which is worth keeping.

I'm still here several times a day. DH is part of my 'round' of tech sites I frequent. Would be a shame to see it go.

Voted to keep it!
