The bolded portion makes me at least somewhat hopeful. For the rest I tend to agree with the rest of the quote.Toms is literally one of the worst tech forums I've ever been to in terms of people not actually carig about the answers. People come in, ask a question, and then reject any advise given to them. The DC community is nice, and some of the oldies are reasonable, but I honestly hope we don't get most of their userbase.
There is a "suggestion box" thread going and several posters have merging or eliminating sub-forums. One suggested eliminating DC and another suggested merging DC with highly technical forum. I just posted in that thread voting to keep the DC forum intact and tried to explain what we do, etc.
I hope that the DC forum is left alone.
I think that there are enough influential people in here that things will be left as is.
This area has been a mainstay in AnandTech and has given back an incredible amount of support to the community and AnandTech in general.
This is what has helped buld AnandTech to what it is today.
It would be sad to see too drastic of change, I'd hate to have to move on after close to 20 years here.
DC is highly technical? Wow, do most people not have a clue what we do?merging DC with highly technical forum
Btw anyone know why Anand left AT?

Toms isnt a tech forum. Its an entertainment forum. You'd as soon get a decent tech answer from Yahoo Answers.Toms is literally one of the worst tech forums
Indeed. No one has any plans to do away with the DC forum. Admittedly it's not a forum that gets a lot of traffic, but you guys are well behaved and don't require any real moderation work, which makes it a very low impact forum.The suggestion to do away with or merge our sub forum is a terrible idea IMO. It looks like perk agrees, so let's not lose any sleep over this one. He's got our backs.
