    Hey, i was just wondering about this. Iv heard people talk about if your a member with Hexus or something you get free postage and packing when you order from scan.co.uk

    This seems pretty cool, can someone explain what is hexus exactly & where i have to sign up and what i have to do exactly to qualify for this?
    Some detailed info on this would be great!

    Forgive my noobness :( :)

    If Hexus is the enemy why do most of us have Hexus ratings, I for one don't use Hexus I only have it for the use of its rating system.

    What i'm trying to get at is why is there no rating system in place here??

    No ratings system here because bit-tech is not an auction site, but a hardware review and modding site.

    Ok I understand that, but would it not be an advantage when using the for sale forum??

    Nothing wrong with Hexus, in fact I'd say its more like bit used to be back in the 5,000 members days.

    There are lots of names I've remembered from here noticed appearing there.

    Anyway, couple hundred posts and free delivery isnt a bad deal :p

    Anyone else think this threads kinda like going to Coca Cola forum and asking about the free glasses you get over at Pepsi?

    They have their own forum, no reason not to look there ;)

    hexus is good. better then bit in some ways.

    do lots of huge comparisons and have a fantastic bargin bin section.

    I'll admit they do have a very good bargain bin section, but at the end of the day both the sites do different things for different people. Our site is mainly on content and modding. Imo it's very much more global than Hexus.
    The trading forums are a moot point atm here. They are provided out of curtesy but Bit has nothing to do with what goes on inside other than banning tards ocassionally.

    hexus is another place i use/visit and ive found it a good place to be, just like here but here seems to be a little more personal and welcoming imho.

    I think BiT is no longer a modding website imo. It has changed a lot over the years ive been here, but now nearly all modding on bit is in the logs forums. (even the modding forums is full of idiots and crap)

    Thats a bit harsh, as I'm sure, like me (until now) solidus had no idea what hexus was, I didn't know it was a forum, espeacially a competing (so to speak) one.
