For those who may have not been here from the early days, Imperium was the original giant evil org!

Not that they were bad or evil, but every org to hold the honorable title of being the biggest is automatically the most evil.

Their early success is an interesting story, they did it by some nasty domain squatting.

They registered robertspaceindustries.com, note the lack of a second "s" after roberts.

This is before RSI had their own forums, which is a sneaky move, but one that worked out well for them.

That domain forwarded to their current forums, so you had hundreds of Star Citizen fans thinking they were landing on the official forums, but it ended up being fan forums.

When CIG found out, they obviously put an end to it, but by that time they already had thousands of members and got a huge head start on all the other orgs.

When TEST was formed, Imperium had over 2000 members which was an unheard of number at the time. We had aspired to be like them one day and also have 2000 members, clearly we messed up.

They have a nice community, lots of good people there.

WE WILL DESTROY THEM!

Lame, no idea why, those guys are SUUUUPER up tight. I guess it may have been because i posted about selling my 1080ti's.. but they have a specific marketplace forum for that kind of stuff so I dont understand why I'd get banned for that.

UGH, lame, this is why im part of TEST... no drama.

*edit*

Any other TEST members get banned there, I feel like they've never liked TEST?
I'm sorry to hear that they proved to have less intelligence than a standard trash panda by banning you for posting about selling your hardware in their marlet place area. As far as I'm concerned, I hope the fool that chose to hit the ban button for that will experience a most horrific case of explosive diarrhea while in public when it is most humiliating for them & those they care about.

The question is what should my alias be. I was thinking "FaffFaffJobChase" and pretend to be unemployed, or "Obvious Alias".
I would've suggested "OscarsNewHome" personally. Oscar as in the grouch, obviously.

I only go there when I want to cross post my sales to their marketplace... otherwise I dont really frequent it they are super DUPER up tight and paranoid.

"SPAIS EVERYWHERE, THEY ARE INFILTRATING US, TEST IS THE DEVIL" kind of stuff.
That's why I left. I was accused of being a spy.....less than 30 days after Orgs became a thing.

Seriously paranoid.

Given the history kindly provided by the Glorious Leader I may have to call myself "robertS"
You should pick an ADI member name as your alias. Like blaming someone else for your fart, you'll make them think ADI is shitposting on their forums if they look into it.

No one seems to want them even though i bought them for like $1000 haha.. maybe the price is off? I got it price checked and they said $600.. but im starting to wonder.

One reason why is its hard to tell if the GPUs were used for mining or not right now all graphics cards are not doing so hot on the resale market due to that reason and the 1080ti was being bought alot due to minning ventures.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/PNY-GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-11GB-DDR5X-Blower-Design/254207479724?hash=item3b2ff24fac:g:c4cAAOSwMnZcvQKU

Also the other problem is the 2070 RTX came out and it is very close to the same performance of the 1080ti and new its 570 usd which destroyed the value to performance market for the 1080TI
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-ROG-STRIX-RTX-2070-O8G/dp/B07JFYT2KD/ref=sr_1_33?keywords=1080ti&qid=1556492053&s=gateway&sr=8-33
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1080-Ti/4029vs3918

Which version of the 1080ti did you end up getting because that can make a difference also Their ability to overclock is the a really big factor also.

Ahhh, see I have all the skillz of a troll built over the course of 20 years on Online forums, but none of the malicious intent. I'll think of some alias or just dive in under my actual user name haha.

EDIT - If I was going under the flag of TEST i'd be answering most questions with this video:
