Is there a way we can takeover AT Forum from its parent company 🤣

Yes, in a decade or so they'll be worth peanuts. We just need to wait

In the meantime I made a bluesky account, @Indus you can add me if you're still maintaining the list.

Done and 2 more

I just noticed we're limited to 150 people in a list and a starter pack. It should cover most of us that're active or we can create a second list but if a lot of people really want to stay in touch.. maybe discord is the way?

Besides I think we all have discord at this point anyways.. if you want to game, you need discord, if you want tech support, you need discord.. so what's 1 more channel on discord for us?


I don't see it dying anytime soon and it allows for forum talk and dm talk.

Not like it costs anything so maybe one of the admins or mods want to set it up?

It should be one of you IMO. I only mod here because I care about the community. But it's obvious there is no monopoly on that sentiment. I'll happily join up.

Ok here we go then..

New AToT discord server link: https://discord.gg/BD25nb9uFU

I'll remod the mods, readmin the admins so they keep on doing the heavy lifting.. nothing will change except it won't be dependent on people dedicated to making the community homeless

I just noticed @GodisanAtheist was the one that made the discord channel for us. Cool to have another for redundancy.

 

[511]

He is not in discord lmfao

Here is the other one already setup for us - https://discord.gg/FqtKBk27B7

can we decide on one lol

The other advantage - or I should say potential advantage - of a new forum is that it may be possible to migrate existing forum threads/posts. Obviously that depends on using the same forum software, or something that allows for such an import. And the current owners of what's left of Anandtech would have to allow it. I don't know the likelihood of either. If that's possible it would strongly benefit from being able to migrate the user database as well, because it is of less value if it shows all posts prior to migration as being by "User #2374" or similar.

It isn't necessary to get ALL the data since Anandtech's inception, but having every thread that's been posted to in say the past six months would be a big advantage over having to start with a clean slate.

just migrate few looooooooong threads

 

[Bigos]

I am now in both discord channels, let me know which one you choose to remain. I assume this is still just a temporary measure, or "just in case" thing.

(I do not post very often but I am reading the CPU and GPU sections quite a lot)

 

[DaaQ]

I am in the bluesky one, I like the OCF idea, it's co-owned by 3 members, and I have content there as well.

Will work on getting into the discord soon.

 

[Ranulf]

Being able to migrate the tech content forums would be great if possible. Could be a tall order for anyone created a new forums site but would probably be the best option.

Two other forums that I think many here already know about and frequent but if not, both of which are active:

Hard Forum (aka the forums for the late HOCP site)

https://hardforum.com/

and the fps review forums (many former hocp reviewers):

The FPS Review Forums

Discussion forums for gaming, computer hardware and maximizing Frames Per Second.

forums.thefpsreview.com

Says I don't have permission to view history for any of the text channels. Just because there's no history, or?

In case you guys want an alternate discord link 🤣 we can have a couple different discord communities going at the same time.

 

[511]

Can we decide which server we are going to use two servers are going to be difficult to keep up lol
