Good-bye?- Anandtech

[WelshBloke]

the forums ought to declare a general amnesty for all the legions of banned old timers - just as a measure of goodwill

Actually a sub forum for that would be pretty funny! We could call it "the zoo"!

Goodbye Anandtech. All good things...must come to an end.

:beer;

 

[Red Squirrel]

Actually I like that idea, instead of outright banning people, just confine them to one forum.

What is Anandtech?

We can always merge with hardforum.com

I support this type of chaotic singularity.

 

[Red Squirrel]

That could be fun actually.

I guess that it depends on why people are banned though. I assume that the forum is on the hook for dodgy content even if it is in a quarantined forum. But if they were just a pita it would be funny.

the babe thread died for this.

Y'all are still here? I showed up expecting the lights to be out. Glad they're still on!

We do need a new generation of wounded monitor children.

I landed here just after they split F/S off for the WMC’s. Was on Sharky’s Machine and something-something 3D. Forgot its name…hell getting old.

Been in and out over the decades…probably on third handle.

Gonna hate this place disappearing. Would like to see it move somewhere so it can continue.

Man, AT was where I learned pretty much everything I know about hardware. Haven't been visiting as much recently, but I'll miss the site deeply. Glad the forums are staying around, though -- I haven't commented in forever, but I still lurk sometimes.

So the superhero dies but the sidekick survives?

Who you calling a "sidekick?"

Wait. Are we Nightwing or Beppo the Super-Monkey here?

Jesus Christ, I haven`t been here in ages..

I do have a forum, it's completely dead, but could act as a backup. https://www.anythingforums.com/

Used to run 4 different forums over the course of 20 years and recently combined them all into one. If traffic actually picked up I could easily add/rearrange categories as needed too.

Wasn’t there some guy who got sick of the slow forums performance and started his own mad geeks or something similar?
Maybe that was at Tom’s Forums. I can’t remember I want to say 2012-ish.

Damn.

I've felt like this before, when boot closed down. Listening to this news really takes me back, as someone who was lucky enough to be a teen in the glorious 90s. Wow.


C'est la vie. Sad news, but I get it. Glad the forums will stick around somehow, oh and someone should probably slap biostud. Please and thank you.

 

[Rallispec]

Haven't visited in a very long time, still very sad news though. Learned so much in my younger years getting in to computing... Glad the forum is sticking around.

 

[BoomerD]

Sad. I will be sorely missed.

You’ll get over it.

Glad to see your face, but missing the snake avatar!

Red Squirrel has a forum we could invade.

Youse guys could always go join tfnn.net….
