I think its better if you could provide a link or paste the editorial note by Mark so that all the guys here knows whats going on.

Re: A regular forumer from lowyat.net got bashed in editorial note in hypertune by Ma

sorry dude,theres no link for it, its in the mag itself,it says:

'' I've come under fire for my writing style in the past from a certain local online community which shall remain unnamed, but I only have one thing to say to a certain travis_ckf:

Die In A Fire. Who's the b*tch now? ''

how professional is this?, i mean, he's writing IN THE EDITORIAL Main page.

issue 72.

Re: A regular forumer from lowyat.net got bashed in editorial note in hypertune by Ma

Wow...but i'm curious what did travisckf comment about his writing style. Are the comments available in this forum itself?

Sorry man, i don't really go thru each and every forum thread over here.

if he can't accept criticism from other's,he's not suited to be the editor

Re: A regular forumer from lowyat.net got bashed in editorial note in hypertune by Ma

Which issue of hypertune is it? I would like to read it personally myself. Mark is the journalist for HyperTune mag. In all case, like amal, I'd like to know the whole story before commenting. Fair ma. haha who knows, maybe the travis is a trouble maker or on the other hand, it could be mark who just can't control his emotions.

And I think this should be in general talk as it doesn't relate to cars but to one or two particular humans. hehe

Hi everyone. Its been a while i didnt post here. I used to be a member of zth a few years back but lately i am active in the lowyat forums. Its has been my hang out spot ever since, esp the fast & furious section and photography. :)

Yes, my name was bashed by Mark and it is a surprise to me as well. Let me tell u guys the fullstory here.

There a thread in the fast & furious section (the car section in lowyat forums) which is a discussion topic on hypertune. Well i do bought that mag a few times but i found out the writting is , pretty bad. Well for the record i usually got my motoring news/reviews from paultan.org, autocar asean, top gear, fifth gear and of coz, Jeremy Clarkson's weekly articles and his show.

Mark writting is ridiculous at times as he wrote alot of unnecessery stories on his car articles. So a couple of months ago, i do post a reply on that hypertune thread saying Mark should be shot to death due to his terrible writting. Common, its just a public forum, u might see even worse stuffs in autoworld forum.

I do made a num of negative comments on hypertune in the lowyat thread, saying the mag is nothing but a babe watch/FHM wannable rather than showing good modifed cars, (although personally i felt hypertune is much better compared to local car mofiduing mags here). I also commented that the pricing is ridiculous and there too many advertorial.

Not to mention, the bad writting, esp from this writter Mark (esp a older issues, check the toyota yaris turbo article for reference, that all i can think off). There are a num of ppl agree with me on this/

But somehow, from his shocking but inmature writiing in the recent issue of hypertune has clearly shown how childish he is and he has clearly shown his lack of profession ism as a journalist. I believe even Paul Tan has better professional values than this jerk. I wondering how can the editor can allow his articles to be printed? God......


I let u guys judge who is the fault here, but while i can simply give bad remarks on a online forum as a regular joe, this person is putting something not bad but stupid and childish action in a printed media, as a journalist.

Its like having president bush says "f*** off" to Osama in national TV, don't u guys get the drift?


You think i just keep myself quiet? Watch this space guys.

Re: A regular forumer from lowyat.net got bashed in editorial note in hypertune by Ma

well think back of the pricing is quit true ,my gfs magz (Rm 8 to 9)which is 3 times thicker than hypertune,

for the flaming back page its from the current latest hypertune magz, and the editor is not around and took the opportunity to flame back lolz

well he should have receive the critics and try change not try to pay back of the critic, like that he cant be accepted as a journalist "LEARN FROM CRITICS AND WRONG ONLY WILL PERFORM WELL"

I do agree that he likes to tell bedtime stories to us in hypertune, heck if you got bashed in an online forum you dont publish it nationwide...

just take the critics and rectify those mistakes..

Re: A regular forumer from lowyat.net got bashed in editorial note in hypertune by Ma

you shouldn't have said that "mark should be shot to death for the
terrible writing".maybe that sentence trigger his anger.

Re: A regular forumer from lowyat.net got bashed in editorial note in hypertune by Ma

For me, i used to read Hypertune magazines last time, maybe the first 10 issues but i never thought it would be a good read so i stopped buying them. Not even those raunchy pics of models would change my mind to read them coz quite frankly, they're selling their advertorials more than talking about cars. I wanna read REAL reviews on cars not some half past six editor giving his opinions what car is good, what is not.

On the other hand, no matter how silly i thought Hypertune is, i don't go around banging their magazine coz quite simply, its your money and its your choice. You don't like it, just don't buy it and if consumers don't buy their mags, it only tells them that their quality is bad and they either buck up, or close their business.

However, judging from their publications, it seems to me that they're doing really well. Their magazine has gone from a 50+ page mag to something like a 150+ page mag and they're real smart in sponsoring events and promoting their mag. So you could say that their magazine is selling.

So, just let the consumers decide what they want to read. No point having a mud slinging match and at the end of the day nobody gains anything.

Re: A regular forumer from lowyat.net got bashed in editorial note in hypertune by Ma

hypertune binding sucks
every single issue that i buy, the pages will start falling out after a few reads
no matter how careful i handle it.
this has been their trademark since the very 1st issue!

My comment: Articles are HP6, shallow technical knowledge, readers are interested in modding process, not just mod-finished photos, Ads are overflowed, sometimes cars featured are.... how to say this arrrrrr, unworthy that's right ..... Price still ok....
