Anand Retires!!

[Cuda1447]

Weird that I am outlasting Anand at Anandtech. Obviously he was here before me and I'm sure he will still visit the site. But in a way its weird. I've always 'gone to' anandtech.com. It's just been something I've done since I was probably 14 or so. Now I'm 29 and the guy who started one of the first sites I visited on a regular basis, is leaving that site.

Good luck to you Anand!

I wonder if the upcoming shutdown is permanent or just temporary.

Shutting down tonight...... for weekly server maintenance. :'( j/k.

All hail the leader of RyanTech.

 

[Homeles]

All hail the leader of RyanTech.

I'm sure you're joking, but Anand is undoubtedly staying the CEO.

 

[Paratus]

All hail the leader of RyanTech.

I for one welcome our new editorial overlord.

Well, this was pretty obvious for the past five years, with Anand's editorial contribution continually shrinking.

 

[kranky]

I hope he stops by the forum to say goodbye.

Appreciate that this place has been here for me to learn from (on the computer side) and hopefully share some things I knew (on non-computer subjects).

Thanks care, Anand! 😉 And thanks for all the fish!

the government doesn't like me telling the truth in P&N. they are shutting anandtech down to suppress freedom of speech.

tldr
I did "ctrl-f", didn't see Harvey or Russ' names.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Good for him, I'm sure he has the money to do it so may as well.

 

[acheron]

Good luck Anand!

I wasn't aware that you'd ever told the truth in P&N, got a link?

Sad to hear the forums are shutting down.

So we must go to the great beyond....or the place that must not be mentioned....I am fearless....:ninja:

I guess the mods will now be getting their pensions for all those years of hard work.

Came in here to post pretty much the same thing. I haven't even been here that long and this announcement doesn't come as a surprise.

I got my check a couple of weeks ago.

I got my check a couple of weeks ago.

$.02 Grats. Guess you shouldn't have taken so many on the job benefits.

Do the denizens get paroled?

Rebate form for one of the pieces of hardware you received?

One of the ones that worked.

 

[Captante]

Wow ... I can recall reading a review of some Samsung PC-133 SDRAM as my first online encounter with Anand in the late 90's. Seems like only yesterday!

I feel so old! 🙁

 

[Hugo Drax]

All obamas fault.

 

[PenguinPower]

Guess he's got nothing but time to nef now. I expect to see an exponential rise in his post count.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Does Anand still have the power to pardon banned members? One last good will gesture...

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Man, I remember Anand starting out on the Overclockers Mailing List 🙁

 

[Crono]

🙁 Anand is awesome.

Didn't see that coming, but things had slowed down on the mobile side with Brian Klug being busy with other things. Still the best computer hardware site, though.
