Is it just me, or does AT kinda suck now?

Maybe it's just me, but Anandtech seems to have faded a bit . There's a lot less new posts, and a whole lot more advertisements, and the endless downtime for server maintenance is annoying. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this? And if this is true, where is everyone going?

I assume you're referring to the actual site and not the forums. I've never actually read any of the articles, only used the forums. So I got nothing.

If you're referring to the forums, well I still got nothing.

id say that the threads are less interesting and the replies are more and more 4chanish. 03/04 ATOT was the best time imo.

It's the day after Thanksgiving...

I think he was referring to the fact that it's the Thanksgiving weekend (and also Black Friday). A lot of people are still staying with relatives or traveling back home.

I read an article once and got confused.

The "epic threads" aren't as common IMO, but they still happen.

This week is slow due to holidays and people not being online.

well, there's a lot of posting, and a lot of it is shit. the technical forums can be decent, but the social ones are full of emptyquotes, one-word replies, bad jokes, lame memes (fail, I hate that shit) and cliches up the wazoo.

Some things have gone a bit down hill, but there are some good things too. An example of something good; The movie thread is awesome, loads of people's short reviews of movies that they'd seen recently ....

Take it for what it is. It's an Internet forum. It helps people pass time during work or any other time you might be bored. If your looking for a party with lots of easy big chested women then you will be disappointed.

The forums have always been a little cliquey and 4chanish. Official ____ Clubs and empty posts are nothing new. People tend to view the past with rose-colored glasses. I still continue to find the things that drew me to the site and the forums in the first place, informative reviews, helpful informative threads in the dedicated forums and cool links in OT such as a few interesting astronomy lectures recently and tons of addictive flash games.
