Good-bye?- Anandtech

Man I honestly thought Toms had died already.

I thought it had died in the sense that it's no longer the private fiefdom of an amusingly grumpy German, but is some bland corporate site now?

I did propose a new forum. Already have one running on a dedicated server

Tried but never got the confirmation email.

Future owns Toms as well.

So it's "died already" to the same degree as this site has (no more or less)? What I liked about that site long ago was the influence of Tom's personal attitudes (that struck me as recognisably 'Germanic'), Gave it character.

I roll my eyes at Google search results that have Toms Guide in it. I instinctively know clicking on it will be a disappointment with my search intent never being fulfilled. Much like Quora results. A big waste of time.

how many of us here do you expect to enjoy posting in your neofascist fundamentalist nutjob forum?

Hey ATOT lawyers, do I have a case for copyright infringement?

nope. Basement is generic. Old's Basement is trademark.

Are you fat shaming me?

Sad to see the site going away.

I know they say it will stay open, but I assume that over time traffic will shrink and decisions will be made about spending the money to keep it open at all.

Damn it I was supposed to post that in the first world problems thread. There you go another first world problem, I'm posting in the wrong damn threads!

Sure but to legally keep a trade mark you have to vigorously defend it of which lawsuits is an obvious way.

Definitely not going to post there on my main Reddit account, but I could join the cool kids and have an alt.

What provider are you with? There's a possibility I need to do something at my end for them as some providers do have specific requirements so they let mail through. I had to jump through some hoops for gmail but have not tested others. The whole site is still very beta and a work in progress.

Did you even see the forum? There is not a single thing on there that is "neofascist" whatever that's even suppose to mean these days. Lefties like to throw buzzwords like that around to mean anything they don't agree with. Lower taxes? Responsible spending, leave people alone? That's racist, literally hitler!

I don't really care either way if people use the forum, I'm just offering it out. It's there, and can actively be supported. I'm still ironing some minor issues as they pop up but it's overall functional.

I checked the mail logs and can confirm this. 😛 My server's IP is in their block list so contacted them to unblock it.

I activated your account manually in the meantime.

Yeah in it's peak (early 2000's) it was busy, but over time it pretty much died.
