Why the hate towards HardForum?

[wahoyaho]

Seems most people on here dislike HardForum to a certain extent, I'm just wondering why that is.

Please no flames, I'm just simply wondering why.
Please lock/delete if this thread shouldn't be here or gets out of hand.

Because that forum is a steaming pile of poo.

If you wade through all the BS they're not bad.

A few reasons I can think of are:
-The moderators
-Trolls
-Allowing scams to continue in FS/FT
-Kyle

Kyle own the H. Hes always been okay to me so I have no complaints.

I frequent many forums. Theres not really a huge difference between any of em.

I wonder if they say the same thing about Anandtech's moderators.

Note to mods: I love you guys.

It used to be a cool place.

Then fascism took over.

Had a real weird moment for a second there, I'm a member over there any my name is Kyle. Didn't know that was the owner's name, so needless to say I was a bit put off.

 

[Alone]

I like it there.

Did you think you were the only person named Kyle over there?

 

[Satyrist]

It seems that Kyle Bannitt (Bennett) will slap a ban on people without much cause...Or for those openly stating they're using adblock on teh

It's quite funny really.

 

[RickSievers]

I was a Hardforum member for ONE day and closed my account. They are nasty people there...

 

[undertaker101]

Was a member for 8 years and then boom banned overnight without cause. I came to AT forums back in 2006 but mostly just lurked, happy to be here full time now

Hey Kyle, fuck you.

 

[Captante]

Hey Kyle, fuck you.

I'm assuming this is meant for the douche-bag [H] owner Kyle not the "random-poster guy" Kyle? (who banned me for commenting about the sites obnoxious flashing ad-banners)




Unless you suspect they are in fact one and the same ???

 

[nakedfrog]

He knows what he did.

Shouldn't you be burying threads not bringing them back from the dead?

Awesome. Double post. Thanks, Kyle.

Which, didn't Kyle go to work being some propaganda minister for Intel?

Anand went to work basically doing the same job for Apple. I guess that running a tech forum doesn't pay all that well anymore.

Anand picked the better company to work for, though. Next week, they're going to show off chips that blow the doors off of any mobile parts that AMD or Intel are currently offering.
