How would it make you feel if something happened to the Anandtech servers and.....

[n7]

Wouldn't care too much.
I used to live on the forums, but i don't have the time anymore.

 

[Mixolydian]

I'd curl up in a ball and cry for days. :'(

No problem for me, since discovering reddit I am rarely here. But before even that my interest here was waning. This forum board has evolved into something that is much different than what I fell in love with here in the beginning.

This.

I wouldn't like it. I have thousands of hours of writing here. It'd be nice if I could back that up.

You call that shit writing?

You can. People do it all the time.

I like reddit for the links to news, but the discussion sucks. It's like 4channers grown up, and off to kindergarten.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

I feel most here are halfway intelligent. The idiots get run off pretty quickly.
So it would kinda suck.

Very true.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

I wouldn't mind

I'll just post more

 

[nageov3t]

Probably be happy that all the crap I've posted would be gone

pretty much this.

I'd slip Anand a couple bucks if I could keep my post count but have all my old posts deleted :thumbsup:

Why ?

 

[nageov3t]

Why ?

stupid posts and trollings that could be traced back to me way too easily via a simple google search by anyone who knew my username.

though I'd like to imagine that with 40,000 posts, there'd be too much to sort through for most people.

I don't know... considering how sporadically maintained these forums are, I wouldn't be surprised if they're using other bad IT practices like keeping their backups in the same physical location as their servers.

I wouldn't put all of our posts disappearing one day out of the realm of possibility.

 

[Ricky Spanish]

I guess I would say oh boy and move on, maybe you should get out more...

Keen advice from May 2013 here.

You worry to much.

Yeah the tape from the last backup is probably just sitting on top of the server, not even in a case.

As for the other tapes, what other tapes?

Really happy because of all the crap I've posted over the years.

Why does it even matter?

 

[nageov3t]

You worry to much.

it's happened to me before, on a different forum (where I was stupid enough to use my real name... someone I knew IRL "accidentally" stumbled on my profile and it created a shitload of drama in my life because I used that forum as a place to vent)

Now that is funny.

Cause I've written enough about my life that it would be very easy to figure out who I was as long as you knew I participated on this forum.

And by "life", you should read it as "badmouthing people in my life".

My join date got fuxxored during the forum migration, so I got on here 2005 or 2006 when I just got out of my teens. That's a nice 6-7 years of shit, much of it teenager/clueless 20-year old naivete. I've been more careful in recent years.
