That forum has gone so down hill since I was on it 10 years ago. Kyle is a douchebag. He and the other mods like to warn people for stupid reasons, or ban them. They have favorites as well. I have gotten warned once a long time ago for asking to gift a paypal, but there are people on there now saying to GIFT the money, and it's in the rules and they don't do a thing about it even after being reported. Like I said, they have their favorites.

It wasn't the kind of HARD forum that you were looking for, huh?

Sometimes I visit Hardforum with my adblock on - just because every single time that happens Kyle rages in anger.
I wonder if some Forums are started to give the owners/Mods a sense of power instead of doing anything useful.

I joined it yesterday for some mobile phone help and while checking the site out I posted a question about a Gaming PC I recently repaired and asked if it was worthy. My post was removed.

And here I thought that HardForum was a Tech Forum?

a little fun fact for you guys. Me and Kyle Bennit go way way back. I was the actual first person there to get my own personal title...lol. Assclown was the title and people were jealous.

It's generally ok, just stay away from the programming section, good grief. If you're not a level 99 advanced priest programmer you just get demolished for asking any programming related question.

As far as programming, Stack overflow has always been my best friend.

What happened to GenMay? I used to lurk there for the first few years. It is true that most the people from HardForum Off topic migrated there when they opened. I visited it a few years ago for the first time in 4+ years and as you said, it is a total dust bowl. Another forum I used to visit was tribalwar. Both very active forums that are practically dead these days. I think both GenMay and TribalWar have fallen even further than these forums.

What do you expect though? Forums in general are dying... all around...

It's all about social media these days - people think Facebook, Instagram, etc. are the equivalent of forums...

Dead forums are a topic I am fascinated with. I always wonder how many of them migrated to Reddit (at least it is a similar setup as a forum).
Facebook is ok but I rarely post there. I look once every few days at least on the first few pages.
I don't know how anyone likes Twitter. Most people post 99% garbage of their 20 tweets a day.

@Mayne Do you have Kyle's direct number? We can all bond over prank calling him or something.

I'm on HardOCP right now.... with an adblocker on... how much do you want to hurt me?
