Question so long and thanks for all the fish

Discord is... well it's giving me a headache looking at it! Maybe it's because I'm on a mobile but is it supposed to look like that? It's like one thread of everything!

-Yeah, it's more like an eternal chat rather than a proper forum.

You can make "threads" with specific users but that's more like a private chat than a proper forum format.

It's weird. It's got all the bits (sub forums, private messages, new threads...) but all done in a way that's awkward and user unfriendly!

Reddit, at least, has proper threads.

I'll likely follow https://www.reddit.com/r/atot/

You can make sub Reddits private can't you?

All I suggested was we add each other on bluesky and I added whoever asked me to add them to a bluesky list.. but only like 20 of us were interested.

It's like Trump.. people can't find perfection so they find apathy and nothing happens and the death of good stuff is all but certain. I suppose that'll happen here too.. can't agree on a good option so we'll just fragment.. bluesky might not be perfect but it should at least allow most of us to stay together and independent.

At least till we can find a common forum. I think I'll send out my email via PM to a few members today just incase it shuts down today.

Over the past 2 decades this forum has carved out a safe space for people. It's fitting that Bluesky would become that new safe space if these forums were to cease existing.

Going to another forum is not an option. The population carve out remaining on these forums would not be tolerated elsewhere.

It's good that you're thinking about creating safe space 2 as a backup. I'd hate to think about the state of minds if safe space 1 suddenly disappeared.

You are saltier than the dead sea about the P&N crew. Understandable. Free advice: Chillax and hang with us my dude. Most of us here are not political, and some of us have been on other boards for decades. Most are gone now Kyle can suck it, no way I'd hang at H now. 2CPU, OG nforcersHQ, and Tech Report, were some of my favorite haunts BITD.

Amen to this.

Dare I even ask what drama is going on over there? Besides the typical.

 

[Thunder 57]

We can't even agree on 1 platform or forum.. how are we going to agree on 1 server? LOL

But discord takes the least amount of effort at the very least.. just see which one is more active after a bit.. that'll become the main.

Nobody was ever going to get the gang on board through Twitter/Bluesky.

Bluesky (&Twitter) is 100% political. Discord was the best option.

GN covered the site closing. Gave the forums a quick plug, implied the plug will be getting pulled soon. Time stamped

OK, he made me laugh. Unfortunately he's not wrong.

Dude, that sucks about your health issues. Best wishes for a full recovery.

Thanks!

I have id on FPS review. I like that forum

Does the Anandtech.com archive include the photos from the late babe thread ?

 

[Asterox]

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

Is alcohol allowed there?

You are right. I found it chaotic, too overwhelming, the chat type of UI somehow encourages people to yammer more than they otherwise would and at least when I tried it, it was always a pain to login.

Yea but you have to set it.

The reality is if AT Forums are closed most of members are simply going to stop. Then whoever is left will eventually fade away too. I've seen it before.

 

[coercitiv]

I'm having lots of fun: in total I joined bluesky, reddit, and 2 discord servers. It's like collecting pokemons!

 

[511]

Gotta catch em all

 

[igor_kavinski]

Dammit, everyone.

Just share which forums you frequent and your handle if it's different from the one here so we can stalk you if we miss you after AT forums are gone.

@igor_kavinski , join the discord if you can. Yes discord is horrible but all the other sites won’t be as close as this forum is and its community is.

Also discord is better on the desktop than mobile, imo

 

[misuspita]

I joined reddit and one of the discords. I don't post a lot, but I enjoy reading different topics. I think reddit is the closest to a forum except another forum. Discord always goes into chat type conversation as is designed for that. But I will follow where the community decides. Just in case these forums go tits up, left some clues as to where the gang settles.
