Timmah Veteran Posted July 3, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hi there,Me the administrator of this forum is on STRIKE as MSI wants to put the forum back in Taiwan. I can't live with that, as we go back to 100 years back in service. I don't know what the or team members do, but I think of them will follow my example. All of this poo happened because somebody downloaded a BETA BIOS from this server (warnings about beta's are all over the place) But decided to SUE MSI over this. I posted 2 Beta BIOS'ses here on the forum to help some users, MSI is attacking the forum team over this. But their own Diamond forum is filled with Beta's. The forum won't go down, but don't expect help from me, please email support@msi.com.tw and tell them the forum should stay as it is. I forgot, also mail your local MSI office and inform them too....we can win this "MSI Game" if they get enough mails... Thanks for understanding. Ps. if MSI doesn't change their act, consider this my farwell letter. Ps2. I will miss you all, that's for the good time we had. Ps3. Just in case MSI terminates the DNS entry, the forum can still be reached here: http://msi.hispunt.de/ Watch the debate unfold here!

BroChaos Veteran Posted July 3, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 3, 2005 why would someone sue over a bios? whats the worst it does? takes down your board? RMA it for a new one. now before you say "well maybe it took down a mission critical machine...etc...", they should not be putting beta anything on a machine like that.

SojIrOu Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 oh man why would someone sue over a $100-$200. won't the legal fee be much more than that? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/339678-msi-bosses-upset-community/#findComment-586156948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverUnknown Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Don't they usually say for beta bios, use at your own risk? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/339678-msi-bosses-upset-community/#findComment-586156946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Sucks if you get sued over beta software. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/339678-msi-bosses-upset-community/#findComment-586157482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted July 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 4, 2005 I doubt the company would lose the case if its over something in beta, unless they didn't state anything about using at their own risk.

A10 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Gotta agree they aren't the best because one everyone that posts there has terrible english even some of the moderators, and admins it's too hard to read at times. The forum software is also crappy the design looks like it was from 1998 way too busy, and bright.
