|  | | Site Update | 
Well, we have some news about our site: some good and some isn’t that good. [ED. So, will it be bad news or good news first?] We will start with the bad news. [ED OK] As you have probably seen and noticed, we didn’t have any G80 article/preview/review. That’s because Nvidia failed to provide us with any documentation, presentations, information or any kind of materials (Is that too much to ask?) We only received from them the hour of the launch time.  These parts are as good to us as the 8800 we did not receive for review.
The entire world, including wives, kids, dogs, and cats received Nvidia materials, but nothing was sent to us. That fact is hurting us more than anyone else, because we are a graphics card tech site after all. However, this is not the first time Nvidia has screwed us. Apparently, according to some sources, it seems that someone at Nvidia has told their partners: "Do not work with NGOHQ.com". Or. in other words, they banned/blacklisted us. And that’s after they sent us some nasty legal threats a few months ago. And that's after So, it would be a shame if we did not return to them the same favor. We really had a hard time thinking how to do it -- without hurting our beloved forum members and users. So we finally made the following decisions:
* Boycotting Nvidia’s products.
* Banning ‘Nvidia’ and ‘GeForce’ words with our word-filter.
* Banning their entire hostname and its ranges.
* Rehosting files like that lovely ‘SLI Patch’
Regarding the drivers: since the only ones who benefit from these are our readers, we have no interest or thoughts of removing them. However, since we are boycotting Nvidia’s hardware, it may cause some delays when comparing newer drivers to the previous ones. Please, understand our position, Nvidia has no respect for us or for our readers. They banned us and we just want to give them the same treatment: an eye for an eye.
Now for the good news. You probably noticed some very minor issues while accessing the site in the last two days. We are planning a major server upgrade in the next two weeks, it will allow us to host more demos, patches and decrease the site load time. In the last few days, we were testing a few things and that’s why you may have seen some strange issues while accessing the site. Anyway, we have planned this server upgrade for a long time. But we had some problems: I couldn’t find any AMD CPU Cooler for 1U size server in my area. But Lewis – our Senior Editor -- has got us one and is sending it over. Basically, the server upgrade shouldn’t cause a lot of problems -- just plug it in and that’s it.
However, the server upgrade caused some delays in our reviews, projects and some other work. But, as soon as the server upgrade process is completed, you will see us again at full speed and power. We’ve received a lot of requests and questions about the NGO ATI Optimized Driver project. I’m very sorry for the delays and I hope you understand the current situation -- and we will do our best to release a new version ASAP after the server upgrade. I would like to thank you all for your patience and understanding.

I hope the site upgrade goes well without a hitch, and as for nVidia well.... highly unprofessional of them!! | | | | Screw us ??
Screw them !!
Sorry to say Nvidia support nor PR have never impressed me (Sorry Derek). On the server upgrade its needed and hope it goes smoothly.
On this site and manufacturers and software companies reading this post remember here on NGOHQ.com we basically offer you free advertising and promotion for your products. The term "Don't stare a gift horse in the mouth" comes to mind here
Nuff said !!  | | | | Dang, thats bad to hear, but I dont think it will stop the users from comming. Nice pic though.
Does it mean that the heading which we see in FF's Titlebar will change aswell ?. | | | | Somebody needs to turn on some lights over at N_*_%#. Seems they are very much in the dark right now. | | | | Hey Reg i like how you wrote " The entire world, including wives, kids, dogs, and cats received Nvidia materials" LMAO! Anyways great article man! | | | | Removed due of extremely offensive content, please avoid from doing this in the future. Flaming and Viral marketing is not allowed here!

| Quote | | | | | First of all, Alexa is not reliable at all. And why do you list hardware sites? Did I say NGOHQ.com is a hardware site? Nope! NGOHQ.com is a graphics site, so please fix your list. Comparing us to hardware lists is unfair, exactly like comparing the knowledge of the spoken subject. Why do add words to our posts? Please read the first post again (and read it all).
Just for the records, this time Nvidia gave samples and materials to tons of sites! Many of these sites are not even close to our current size. We don’t ask a lot, we are not talking about “review samples”. We want some kind of materiel (Even some presentation) but we got absolutely nothing.
Most of the readers are coming to these hardware sites to read general hardware news. However, most of our readers are coming here to download drivers, ask questions about graphics, and to read graphics related news. So basically, when it comes to graphics, they are not in the same league with us. This is our special area, and in this area our word is a lot stronger then the others. Do you want to get an opinion from some amateur? Or you want to get it from a specialist? That's why we deserve materials MORE then all the others. |

So now you need to change your post. You are no longer a "GPU software/hardware" focused site, you are now an "ATI software/hardware" focused site.
I won't even try to type the "N" word... | | | | Who said it? we said:
* Boycotting Nvidia’s products.
* Banning ‘Nvidia’ and ‘GeForce’ words with our word-filter.
So instead of NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver, you will get NGO ****** Optimized Driver. And maybe there are even more projects coming soon, like ****** Tweaker and etc...
Got it? 
We will never screw our readers. |

We will never screw our readers. | So your site update is hollow. You're just banning the N word from your forum, claiming you're going to boycott (even though you're still supportin/releasing NV modded drivers) and trying to smear NV because you didn't get any freebies.
So what's the point of all your anger if nothing is going to change? This whole "incident" results in word-banning? lol | | | | why dont you clean up this site right now. drop all that nvidia shit. and focus on ati. sucses | | | | Its really not anger, it’s a disappointment and response to Nv’s attempts to drive us out of business (Don’t forget their “Do not work with NGOHQ.com” policy) Therefore, we will not promote them in any way, and give them the same treatment by hosting SLI patches again and more related files.
Since they told their partners not to work with us, we have to purchase their products for reviews, but since are boycotting them – we will not buy any cards for reviews, so that means no Nvidia reviews. We can always ban their IP range, and prevent them from accessing this site (they are doing it very often, they love our downloads database and news).
Nvidia is not just a word, every time we mention it in the site, its automatically promoting it. And we removed that SLI Patch as a favor! Not because of their “scary” threats! So now we think they don’t deserve any favors from us. So basically, we will give them the same treatment but with a limitations (Without hurting our readers). These decisions came out after long discussions with the entire NGOHQ.com crew, not from one “angry” person. Personally, when we discussed about it, I laughed like a maniac.
Political Decisions.
It will take place (probably) in the next week. |

70% of reges users download Nxxxxx drivers from this ste
why will he stop modding them?
if he stops to mod drivers that will be Nxxxxxs victory and rege will lost most of users
rege you have my support but that boycott will make you more problems with nxxxxx becouse you are screving with thear property (i am saying about drivers)
EDIT: forget to put this : best thing to do is to remove Nxxxxx name from your drivers (i am saying: from instalation, registry, device name,.........) |

Their main page now has a rant about how they're going to boycott Nvidia's products. Lose touch with reality much? lol
Mark_Warner:
Yeah I'm sure that'll hurt NVIDIA hugely. 
So he's banning people from saying NVIDIA and GeForce in his forums?
Can anyone say "sore loser" ?

NGO is just some dude sitting in his parents basement... (ok, I think he has a 'crew' now) Basically following every 12 year old geek's dream of having a website and trying to make it look waaaay bigger than it really is.

The NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver is a modified version of the NVIDIA ForceWare driver. The main purpose is to satisfy the users with better performance, image quality and compatibility.
| We never copied it or claimed it as our own. We never cracked it or edited the driver in the software level. We only modified an INF file which is a Microsoft installation script and you can’t call it ‘software’. The EULA in the software is basically useless anyway; the real law is your state law! For example, in some countries it’s legal to copy software along it’s for non-commercial purposes (You are not selling it). Only in some countries there are ridiculous laws like that DMCA in the US.

Coming to our forums to insult/attack anyone of the forum members and staff is against the rules. You can argue with people, but as long it’s a respected adult argument. However, about the topic – as I said, we have all right, legitimacy and authority to ‘boycott’ Nvidia. And no, not because they didn’t give us a free card (Actually, they are loaning it for a day or two) but because of their actions:
* Ridiculous legal threats
* Trying to drive us out of business.
* Telling manufacturers: “Do not work with NGOHQ.com”
* Telling other sites bad stuff about us (libel)
* And more things that we prefer to keep it between us.
In other words, they ‘banned’ us – so why can’t we do the same? Oh, and yeah. Just for your information, NGOHQ.com is not just a ‘driver’ site. We are offering other more ‘services’, and these modified drivers are just a bonus. |

modifying and inf can not be prosecuted as its all in an openly viable source for modifying. and the fact that nvidia drivers don't tend to have all the stuff in em is a good reason to modify drivers.
i've never seen any site sued for modifying an inf, and Regen is just doing the job that the NV driver devs SHOULD be doing. | | | | Haha! Now that’s hilarious. Apparently the average age on HardForum is probably 10. This is the worst forums I ever seen. People are flaming each other and the moderating is absolutely suck. These guys there are looking like viral marketers or the biggest fanboys out there. Who the hell are they to comment? This is our site, our forums.
Tweaks RUS are flaming us? Hahaha!! They are the latest website in the world that can say something about us. I already heard they are sending people (shills) to other forums to promote their drivers. No wonder why Hilbert banned them from his site, they have no respect or maturity! Look they started ‘Flame NGOHQ.com Thread’. But I don’t blame them, they are using some cheap default design, and they are using some free CMS software (Joomla/Mambo) which has a lot of serious bugs. They don’t even know how to run a website – so who the hell are they to say anything about us?
I guess they are jealous because our site is way bigger and known then theirs. So our drivers are more popular (I remember that one of their admins asked me to teach him how to a mod a driver a few years ago). Look at their site, they are writing in a ’10 years old style’ and apparently they don’t know how to read. They changed the ‘user(s) active in the past xx minutes’ to make their site look bigger, and they are always begging for donations. We have here servers on 100mbit line (Consumes 600gb per day) and we never asked a single buck. Take some advice, before you’re talking about other sites – look at your site (Kiddy site) first. we should tell them: Kids, don’t be jealous! Maybe in ten years your site will be in our level too.
Maybe we should act like Hilbert from Guru3D, and to add their site to our censorship as well. They surely have no respect for people. And finally, someone sent me a link to some site; and it seems that one of their admins is trying to promote their drivers on our news post. Quote:

NGOHQ has been given the shift for a long time, ATI is always able to provide test samples
the real reason Nvidia won't give ngo a sample
IS PREJUDICE, AND NOT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON.
at first we thought it was becoz NGO is Israeli, nvidia were afraid that the cards might be lost or something.
but hell, we have editors and reviewers in other places..
im sure Mac Daddy could've done some for us, eh Mac Daddy
and hes a Canuck, so theres no wartorn nation there.
Regen is right, Nvidia has really let us down i was expecting to be able to read both the NGOHQ review and the Guru3d Review.
this is really sad i still support nvidia.. but its not cool black listing a site like this.
Regen does some of the best Reviews... probably as good as Hilberts, unlike some other sites i know.. where the review looks like its been written by an 8 yr old.
the problem, that i see is, is that NGOHQ reviews don't put off the shit... they are non biased and the benches are done accurately.. unlike other sites i know.... *cough*
i would have to say that NGOHQ.com and Guru3d.com are the 2 best 3D Graphic dedicated sites on the interweb,... and anyone else is just a hack.
Screw nazi like admins who prevent you from speaking your mind.
screw stupid conforming idiots who shut you down when you express your opinion.

Nvidia however seems to get a grunge for nothing these days, acting like MPAA and RIAA telling people what you are allowed to do and not with their drivers, makeing legal statments 10 pages long that you are supposed to read before you are allowed to download their drivers, is that what Nvidia calls customer care? they also consider modding their drivers as an equal offense to peeing on a Rembarndt, breaking out their lawyers to axe anyone who tries to mod/improve their "masterpice" or better known as "the" Forceware.

i am not against you
infact i support you with this boycot
but this boycot will make them very angry
so watch out my friend they have good law-jearks | Regeneration, you have the right to do whatever you want, but Nvidia isn't a company you want to mess with. Quote: |

I figured that if you were gonna ban the words they should at least be removed from the page's title as well.  | | | | I don't know what to say, I respect this decition, I first came here fore modded drivers for nvida of course, now I'm using an ATI card, but I'm planning to buy the new nvida one.. so I just basically come here for news and the other kind of downloads, for me NGOHQ its not only about moddified drivers, has lots of stuff to offer, great site. Nvidia its being all mean and thats how are they supossed to be I guess. | | | | Quote: |

EDIT: My primary IP is still banned from your site. You obviously don't have as much of a beef with me anymore since you didn't ban me again. | Rege sees all on Apache even the IP ranges from Nvidia and other companies that visit here as guests. Know what ??
Still odd Nvidia IPs view this site yet don't defend their company on this thread | | | | no offense intended OniKeaton, but NGOHQ doesn't have as much *****in and kid like behavior as places such as TweakersRUS....
the staff here is kindly and the reviews are very well done, this behavior is merely nvidia doing a dominance play thing....
it doesn't work. | | | | Quote: |
