I've never seen VipVince around before, though he had some great answers and I'm glad he was interviewed.
@Everyone saying that the team missed some things: it is your fault just as much as it is theirs. You have the responsibility of reporting news just as they have the responsibility of finding it.
EDIT; @Paradise., I think you've got to learn that you're interviewing the other member, you're not the one being interviewed. Don't talk so much.

Oh. My. God. I think I'm in love with Reminiscient's GFX piece. Amazing news as always, bringing the best of HF to one thread. Thanks :).

Hey guys,
Since I have a lot of free time today, I've decided to give an unusually in-depth review of the HF News edition. First, I'd like to say that the HF News is still quite long, and you guys need to do something to make it shorter to read. With that being said, however, I think you guys did a great job with focusing on what needs to be in the Notable Account Changes -- You excluded all the petty details, which I applaud 🤝. I'd also like to say that your GFX corner looks stunning, I love it.
Anyway, let me continue on with the parts which I thought needed improvement and such.
First, you guys used the wrong color code for Omniscient's name. You used #00BFFF when it should be #4DD0FC. As for the interviews, both had grammatical mistakes which can be excused due to the informality of the event. Yet I found VipVince's interview extremely interesting, accurate, and useful. Hats of to you, VipVince. I'll also have to take a look at the Web Show later.
Quote:New section
Omniscient recently added a new subforum in the Premium Sellers Section called 'Server stress testing'.
Should be "Server stress testing" (with the quotation marks). You used an apostrophe, which is used to indicate possession or the missing of letters.
Quote:Login Security
After noticing some odd activity in the member logins Omniscient decided to add additional login security to ensure that all members' accounts are safe.
Should be: After noticing some odd activity in the member logins, Omniscient .... You're describing something that Omniscient did, therefore you use a comma.
Quote:All questions or comments are to be PMed to Factor8 himself, or via the contact forum.
Should be contact "form". There is no contact "forum"
Quote:Through all of the problems caused by MFJC, Omniscient made a thread announcing that he is done with the site, and all of his products are banned.
It doesn't make sense; I don't think you want to use the word "through". Also, you've got a vague pronoun reference. You said that "he" is done with the site... Do you mean Omniscient or MFJC?
Quote:Physicist Albert Einsteins claimed that the speed of light is the fastest speed out there which caused much skepticism when this news first came out.
I think you mean Albert Einstein.
Now for the grand finish, let me just quote Sir.
Sir Wrote: Ignite. has stepped down from the HF News team. I have already replaced him with ReactioNz.
I have also talked with my team and stated that I will not have any tolerance for misspelt words or common grammatical errors. While I don't have the time to proofread the entire edition, they can proofread their own sections. It blows my mind that Ignite. would have these mistakes in the User News, but it's in the past.
Look at the mistakes above... I hope you get everything sorted out. Also, here's a quote from Sir's Second.
Quote:People often see procrastination has a horrible thing, something that must be eradicated and eliminated from every working individual. In my own personal opinion, I see it as both beneficial and detrimental. Beneficial in the sense that when you procrastinate, you are taking the time that you want and need for yourself. I have also seen it work well for those who thrive under pressure, I myself work the best when something is due the next day. Like with most of my essays, I slowly gather what I need and procrastinate, but then SHOULD BE A COMMA HERE the night before it is due, I slam it out and it's the best thing I've ever written. Yet it can be detrimental for those who don't work well under stress, and it can literally destroy their abilities. I say that we don't hate procrastination, as it's a necessary tool in our arsenal, but we let it be, and let the person figure out their own place on it.
Let me point out some mistakes. First, you said "has" instead of "as". Next you used a comma instead of a semicolon. After that, you used the phrase "Like with" which is grammatically awkward. Finally, you forgot to use a comma after "then", as you are required to when making a transition.
@ Sir, I have NOTHING against you, but I just find it pretty funny 🤫.

Honestly, "Sir's Second" is my personal rambling area. It should be read for the thought, not a fine-toothed comb.
It's more something I write at the last second just to get the thoughts out.
If I had taken more time on it, there wouldn't have been any errors. Due to the fact that I still carry a lot of the sections on my shoulders, "Sir's Second" is just a way for me to ramble a little bit.
Overall, there were five errors, out of well over forty-thousand characters. Not bad imho.
I'll still speak to them, but for a few people who are volunteering their own time to put this together, it's a one to eight-thousand ratio for an error. I don't see too big of a problem with that.

You forgot to mention that Intel is releasing new CPU named Ivy Bridge and Nvidia 600 series Graphic cards.
This is for tech news.

Thoth is a bitch trying to get into the news way too often for rep fucks. His rep fucks are not news.
He's the Kardashian of HF.
