I disagree with the poor moderation, I'm impressed with the mods here, it's the reason I stay. There is something to be said for the immaturity of some posters.

Mods here are top notch. Of the few blatent troll threads I've posted, they've been locked in under 5 minutes.

On the other points... the reviews are top notch. The bench section is awesome. And there is always something good to find in the trading section of the forum.

Was looking at alexa on a site's popularity, then I put in AT and found these blasphemous reviews by accident. Blasphemy!

Lololololol:

Compared with the overall internet population, the site's audience tends to be male; it also appeals more to childless, low-income, moderately educated Caucasians under the age of 35.

There are a fuck load of jerks here unfortunately.

In the good old days before this place became a troll forum, you would have been banned a long time ago.

Lololololol:

Where does alexa get all this info...
Now that's slander, because it makes most of us look like TridenTs.

Poor moderation and immature atmostphere
Everytime I visit Anandtech, it is full of the most immature, childish posts I have ever read. Nothing is informative. It's either a post about someone's girlfriend or trying to sell some ridiculously old hardware. DO NOT GO TO ANANDTECH.

No, you're an immature child!

Nah nah nah nah.

You go to a tech site's OT forum and all you get is immature content and jerks evrywhere? Holy shit! Someone call the internet police! Honestly, I can't believe how insensitive these fucking douches have become. Go to any other OT board on any other fairly popular forum and you will find the same damn thing. Plus, having been here from the beginning, I can honestly say that this board is a whole lot less hostile than it used to be, by far.

I assume that these same schmucks that get all butt-hurt over some stupid HAL9000 post are the same bitches that grew up playing scoreless baseball and soccer. Everybody wins! Nobody's feelings get hurt, yay!


Peace

Anandtech
Reviews are usually filled with errors, come out later than competitors. The most popular part of the site is the forums, which tend to be filled with arrogant people and overzealous moderators.

Anyone use Anandtech forums?
I used to use their forums, especially the Off-Topic and Politics-News. A lot of people use for computer-related information. I left because the people on there are such jerks. I couldn't stand it anymore. VB is much nicer.


Haha I agree with this. Not the reviews part but there are quite a few self important jerks and mods don't care about the hostile posting environment. Don't get me wrong, it's fun for when I open a can up on someone.

The mods here do a great job. Overall, the level of information from even Off Topic is fairly accurate and always entertaining.

yea disagree, nothing worse than a forum with nazi moderator and cry baby users who try to get each other in trouble and banned, that is a backstabby scheming type of atmosphere that is toxic.
