Is AT bigger than THG?

As some of you might know, the Register opened a North American version with the help of THG and they mentioned:




<< As of January 2002, Tom?s Hardware Guide had achieved over 42 million page impressions and attracted an audience of 2.3 million unique visitors per month in North America, making it the most popular independent hardware website in the world. >>




How many does AT have in total/per month?
 


<< well i bet the AT forums are way more active than the THG forums 😀 >>

The AT forums by far kick the living crap out of any hardware forum on the Internet. PC Magazine rated Anandtech as the #1 hardware review site last year, and so I'm guessing AT isn't too far off that "42 million page impressions" stat.
 
well i bet the AT forums are way more active than the THG forums

I secound that, I doubt AT is bigger than Tom's though. Tom posts new stuff very often, AT has been doing a pretty poor job, although it is getting a little better.

I prefer Anand's review quality although Tom does some nice overclocking upcomming hardware testing.

I'll agree for the most part, before Anand went to school he was doing pretty good with articles, but since he's been going TH has been doing really well, it seems like he has an article every day M-F and taking weekends off. AT seems to be maybe once a week for any kind of article.

Hopefully AT will make a huge comeback once he gets done with school.
 
I don't know about now, haven't been there in ages, but the layout of Tom's messageboard stunk, which probably kept most people away. That and I think it is basically an afterthought as far as site maintainence and development goes.

Tom's site is quite likely the most visited on the net. He has very frequent updates, and his article topics are usually more interesting and varied compared to the other sites out there. AT does too many me too reviews w/out enough unique articles.
 
I believe Anand gets 1 million views per month. I read that somewhere a while ago, might be higher now, maybe 1.2 million/month.
 
Yea, I like ATs articles better, but I wish their would be more. It has really slowed down lately. I do think that ATs forums blow any other forums away. ardOCPs forums have a lot of traffic, but very few of them are usefull (who really cares about some girl that a member met?). All of you forum members ROCK!!!!!!
 
AT's fourms are good but so are Ars, Ace's and 2cpu's, THG's and FiringSquad's on the other hand suck badly.
