every forum has dumb posters and smart posters. although i'd say AT's hardware forum has decreased in quality over the past few years. i got really helpful advice when i was building my computer.

I've only been here since September, but in that time I've seen this forum degrade to a bunch of noobs asking the same questions over and over. I still love Anandtech though :D.

There's this one poster over there, MadModMike, who deserves to DIAF. He would probably banned here in two seconds.

I used to post over there a lot (my nick over there is Coyote). They have some smart guys. Same here too.

This forum seems like it has more posters though.

Confirmed. I'd say this is true over all of the AT forums, going downhill the past few years. Plenty of good folks mixed in though, so it is worth sticking around. :)
