Are they still around????? Haven't been there since the mods started banning the good guys (trollhunters), and one of the mods at HardOCP started trolling traders.:|

Actually that happened the other way around. First, the FS/FT mod turned out to be a troll and was banned. Then, months later, the Trollhunters tried to get Kyle and Steve's assistance in tracking down the troll mod, got refused, bitched about it on their forums, Kyle has made himself like a little god over there, and so the trollhunters were banned.
But yeah, I agree with you, that was the beginning of the end for the H. Their mods went on mass bannings (for no real reason it seemed, Kyle would just ban whoever he felt like in order to "save bandwidth") and all their forums went to hell... I rarely go there anymore.

Works fine for me. Maybe it was a temporary server/DB issue. Or they got 0wn3d when they put the GFFX 5200/5600 preview up.

Edit - Which, BTW, after reading said review, makes me want to vomit, sell my nVidia card and go buy a Radeon 9500.

They banned me for criticizing them. They were making fun of the people on their Mac board because at the time it was "MAC" and they requested that it be changed to the proper "Mac". Kyle changed it said something about their dress shields. A mod with the title "Admininator", whatever that means, got pissed and banned me. I emailed Kyle and he said I could come back in 30 days. I said "No thanks". Two years is more than enough at that damn site.
