Purch Acquires AnandTech, Dominates Tech Expert and Enthusiast Market

Page 2 - Seeking answers? Join the AnandTech community: where nearly half-a-million members share solutions and discuss the latest tech.
Will be curious to see how many new account registrations we get over the next week or so.
 
anyone with experience with Tom's forums before and after the their purchase? read a couple of articles from that site but never visited forums (didn't even know that had any 😀)

Let's just hang on and see how it turns out. If they run it into the ground in a few months, then fine, leave.

Fuck your rational thought process, time to break out the lifeboats and survival blankets! Every man for himself!
 
Sooooo, that means you'll be shutting down Tom's Hardware then?

Dunno! But can look into this for you. One of the mods or admins here might have the scoop, or Ryan (when I can get a hold of him. 😛 )

We won't be running anything into the ground. Purch acquired Anandtech because we believe in it as a site. Like I mention in the FAQ I posted, messing with the secret sauce for a site that works would be goofy/dumb. Nothing will change, except your editorial dudes will have more resources and access to stuff than previously.

If it helps confirm his id at all, he does have the same avatar here as toms.

Classic wizard. My tabletop D&D nerd is showing. Sidenote- my avatar and digital persona tend to make people thing I'm way, way older than I am. But yeah, happy to confirm however or by whatever means.

and how many old timers flood into olds' basement?

Olds shut down his basement forum. Turns out leaving a forum unmoderated and fully open to bot posting promotes the import of hot and cold running porn. Porn of a quality that would make Olds uncomfortable.

Well, that's a great question. I'm Senior Community Manager for Purch. I was hoping to have my title all situated ahead of time here on the forums, but I can't seem to get in touch with Ryan at the moment.

Can confirm my identity in other ways though, if one of the forum admins or mods wants to reach out. My email is jpishgar@purch.com.
