Yes, our forums are an effin POS. Trust me, more of a pain in the ass for us than it ever has been for you. New admins in today, hopefully we will have a full rebuild of an aging software infrastructure rebuilt quickly from the ground up this week. 3/31/09

Hardocp is finally down for awhile. looks like they need new management and got it... in the meantime, you guys here at anandtech will welcome the visitors, right? ;) :D

Just wait till this forum goes to VB. I like to think our mods will have even cleverer downtime messages.

What's up with XtremeSystems? Their forums were supposed to be back up this past weekend after the upgrade to SSD, but they're still down ...

i dunno, both hard and anand forums can get really immature at times.... and both have a wealth of information. i do seem to find better deals in the fs and hot deals section on hard though...

The difference is that F/S trolls aren't protected here.

Does it take that much training to use a highlighter?

always love posts concerning hardocp. it always causes people to make screwed up highlighting tags.

You do realize there are some sections in that are useful. Displays for example. The knowledge there about LCDs and TN, IPS, PVA is far more advanced than I see here. There the crowd is busy talking about returning dell panels, taking pictures of their own dell panels to compare with others, etc. I don't see it as much here. I asked a few LCD questions here and when I noticed they couldn't be answered, I moved to to ask. It's either we don't have enough people, or they have more technical expertise.

But if you talk about off topic they're douches there. definitely has more hardware enthusiasts and modders out there though when half our hardware forums is about if a PSU is enough or "MY NEXT BUILD!!!"

i love when people here tries to outwit someone else wit that they don't think is worth a shit.


and we don't protect f/s trolls on Hard, honestly it's been by far the safest f/s forum ive seen yet. and the best prices too

Nobody gives you shit for saying the exact same shit I do, but I get a pie in the face for saying it.

Cheers, you rock and suck at the same time.

The only thing anybody cares about that POS website is that their dog shit owner dies from a horribly painful death that involves his genitals and alligators.
