Is that... uh... other forum still around, in any iteration?
The one begun by .. you know.... three individuals?
I am now a squirrel.It's also in my profile. https://www.anythingforums.com also goes to it if that's easier to remember but when I saw a 4 letter domain available I had to go for it.
I wouldn't expect anyone to go elsewhere while this place is still up and running?Everybody wants a place to go, but when there's a place to go, nobody wants to.

not with that attitude.There is no vaccine for syphilis.
Pretty much. If the AT forums do face a future of certain doom, it would be nice if we received notice so we could archive some stuff and then move on in an orderly fashion. Thus far we have had no cause for concern.I wouldn't expect anyone to go elsewhere while this place is still up and running?
I can't recall, was 10/09/99 Fusetalk or Ultimate Bulletin Board?
Pretty sure it was Fusetalk.
AFAIK you are correct, it was Fusetalk --> vBulletin --> Xenforo
Edit: Actually 10/1999 I was only a lurker, so I'm not 100% certain it was FT.
fusetalk, because I only remember fusetalk when I first started lurking and then eventually registered.
I remember the torches and pitchforks when vBulletin came around.
Wasn't there a very good reason why AT forums transitioned away from fusetalk? Or was it just for Web2.0 features and social media-like like/dislike stuff (half of which we disabled for being disruptive)?I wish we could revert back to fusetalk
I'd buy these forums Twitter --> Elon Musk style.It's interesting because I've only ever used fusetalk on AT and Fatwallet. I wish we could revert back to fusetalk or vBulletin but I have a feeling the forums days are numbered.
If the AT forums are eventually closed, I wonder if Future plc would give us access to the database/PHP files? It would also be nice if there was a redirect https://forums.anandtech.com to the new (yet to be decided) URL.
Oh so you could moderate it without a political lean? Or if you like since people leaning one way think anything but that lean can't be towards center but hard right?I'd buy these forums Twitter --> Elon Musk style.
Everyone has the freedom of expression in the right space.Oh so you could moderate it without a political lean? Or if you like since people leaning one way think anything but that lean can't be towards center but hard right?
We already have good volunteer moderators here. No reason why that would have to change.Oh so you could moderate it without a political lean? Or if you like since people leaning one way think anything but that lean can't be towards center but hard right?

VBB flubbed bad. Real bad. They had the vast majority of larger web forums at one time. They refused to listen to the customer base on a number of problems. When XF came along, VBB lost most of their web share in a matter of months and within a year or two, they had lost almost 90%It's interesting because I've only ever used fusetalk on AT and Fatwallet.
