Multiboxing on mmo-champion.com
There's a new post on http://www.mmo-champion.com that talks about multiboxing. Check it out front page for the next week or so. Not a lot of information, and clearly poorly researched by Boubouille. He refers to multiboxing as "multiplexing" and explains that - "the user will press Thunderbolt rank X on the emitter (First character chosen) soon after the 4 other characters will cast the same spell." Someone should tell him that it splits a keypress that is bound to a spellcast macro, it doesn't split the spellcast macro himself. Misleading, but not malicious, so I'll let it slide.

I think you misunderstand. Boubouille is the admin of the MMO-Champion site. He was linking to the post created by that whiner on the EuroWoW forums, and included the reply from a blue, that it's okay to do so. He then linked a video on how to record your multiboxing sessions on a dual monitor system (the video ends by displaying a link to dual-boxing.com). He doesn't seem to be condemning multiboxing or promoting it, and the portions he quoted make the anti-MBer look pretty foolish.
It seems to me that most of the time when people go outside of the WoW forums to complain about multiboxing, they find quite a few people who are MBers, or who support it, or who just want the whiners to shut the hell up. And that's a good thing.

I'm not misunderstood at all, I'm familiar with Boubouille and know he's the admin of the site. If you read the text that he wrote, he does seem in general to have the vocabulary and specifics of multiboxing pretty confused. Nowhere in my post did I mention Boubouille made any statements containing a negative connotation, just that he's not terribly well-informed. That's not a surprise, because I doubt he would want to present a biased point of view, which would be counterproductive for mmo-champion.
