I don't know what happened here but lately like for the past month or so, there's next to nothing going on here. hardly any new topics, not to mention very slow (other users) response times.
This place had/has much higher quality people than most other OT boards, its just a shame that no one posts anymore.
Only thing there's to do about it is to ask people to restart posting here rather than other places (or not only in other places) and hopefully get this place back in business...

You've made an excellent point! The subject of how to increase/improve noteworthy topics to discuss is an issue the staff is starting to look at now.

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us and thank you for choosing AnandTech!

I think alkemyst made a good point. ATOT definitely had more zing, more pop, back when mods weren't all over the forum with ban sticks set to stun. Half the fun was seeing how much you could piss the mods off before a good old 2 week vacation. Seems like moderation of the forum and entertainment value may be inversely related. I think we lost a lot of good characters too. There are a few gems still around though. PAB never fails to deliver, hehe.

My time spent here has been lessening due to school and work.

If you want, I can start a thread on The North Face or start typing upside down..

You guys (and me) used up all the topics, as well as repoxied all the topics. No wonders we're bored.

*dream mode = on
Want excitement? I think everyone needs to go outside, go on vacation, then come back with your stories. I'll finance the whole package, for everyone, since, as you all know, I'm an independently wealthy philanthropist. *dream mode = off

i think has more to do with the splitting up of forums. we have about 6 or so new forum sections for stuff that used to get posted in OT.

And with the exception of the garage and possibly L&R nobody posts in them either...

Yep ... theres too many topics now & they've really taken away from the majesty that was once ATOT !

DON'T TAZE ME BRO!

 

[Cuda1447]

AH FUCK.

I just posted this whole long post. Then it all got deleted. You know how? My laptop fucking sucks sometimes. I'll highlight everything by accident while I'm typing and then the next letter I hit, POOF... everythings gone. I'm pissed now, sorry no opinion from me today.

Yep. That's pretty much when a bunch of the old-timers (including me) jumped ship and things slowed way down.

Things were much more entertaining when Texmaster and I could flame the shit out of each other for 20 pages.
