Users.......(*Cat got my Tongue)

EDIT: Tell me other major websites like AnandTech to add to the Pole Options< Don't vote if the Option isn't there. Tell me and i'll evaluate them and Add it.

EDIT 2: Reply from Omid On one of our Other Threads

Apparently, like CaptRobertApril Was Raving and Ranting about, THG/Toms will be about 1 week to 1 Month Late on updating us with that news on Toms hardware Sale. I don't know why but Inquirer has been getting better Updates and more accurate news(lately)about the world than The world knows itself.

I think i may just cry.

Huh, IDK, as long as the forums stay the same im happy.

Public...?. That's next to impossible to believe, I have a strong feeling AnandTech is Doing a AMD/ATI style merger.. But one of my friends just saw the article and was on the Intel Site a few days ago. and saw the "Tomshardware.com" Comment on the Core 2 Duo Banner on their Processors section and believes that Intel has Bought us .. new Title*

Tom's Hardware Sold...and the Buyer is Intel 8O

Lol. Well you can kiss this site good-bye. No, really.

From Theinquirer article,
"We believe that there are some very exciting times ahead for the company".

Yeah right. Whatever. That's a polished turd of a line which means "Hey I've made my fortune, lets see what you boys can do with it. Good luck. I'll be on my yacht in Monte Carlo Bay if you need me."

man.. i just hope that TG forum will still be here after the buyout... this is where i learned most of the stuff since the debut of Core 2.

heck i still remember i was arguing like crazy for X2s.. and being called an AMD fanboy now and then...

anyone still remembers MMM, 9-inch, rettihsllub.... man those were some hilarious times..

just curious... if TG Forumz really go down... where will everyone go?

Omid has just read our open letter and Hopefully this Thread too.
We have come to learn that

Omid needed or needs money to buy grocery

Okay

Maybe so, but I like a forum where I learn things and can have intelligent discussions, besides craking the odd joke here and there. Any place that though I was a genius would be sadly lacking.

Perhaps. There are about 4 of us there who can carry on a worthy conversation. Probably about 90% of the posts are from one timers who pop up with a "how do I do X" question, and you never hear from them again. Just about the only thing you can do there is crack the joke, as Jim has that forum locked down pretty tight. You might be able to get away with a mild one in the "other" section, but we are instructed to flame in PM, never the forum. As I've mentioned before, I happen to like flaming in private, so this doesn't bother me.

As far as learning something, unless I or Grumpy can teach it to you, your probably out of luck.

If something happens to the forums I'll probably go the Xtremesystems or the OC Forums. I already have an account in both.

I agree. I doubt the forums will go anywhere. What would I do without Baron and Jumping Jack? My life would END!

Poll's are designed so that, once a single vote has been cast, no edits are permitted ... it's to keep someone from editing their poll results to falsely "make a point".

Moderators can edit polls sometimes (if there are no current bugs).

Okay, Thanks for the telling. I guess The options are for where, beside's Toms hardware you would Migrate to.
I added a Disclaimer, Advising against voting if What your looking for isn't there.

I think i may just cry.Somehow....Charlie's Hardware doesn't have the same ring to it as Tom's Hardware.

LOL... might be better if the Prince were to buy it.

I have been unhappy with the changes I have seen in the recent months.

I can only hope that the sale of THG will net an improvement.

If it does not I will no long visit and no longer recommend them.

I remember the days, not that long ago, when THG would publish something and the industry would sit up and take notice.

Yet, I can not completely blame THG, the entire computer review industry has slumped.

"The view never changes unless you are the lead dog."

THG started to slip from the lead dog a little more than a year ago into a "keep up" site and now has fallen bellow even that.

I remember when I first heard about THG, someone recommended a motherboard to me because THG said it was a good one.

The motherboard recommendation turned out to be good which got me to read the site and I kept reading THG for years after that.

What kept me reading was because the quality of THG was so far beyond any other hardware site or magazine I have read.(deliberately switched the tense of my verbs for emphasis)

I will admit that some of the recent non-computer articles are interesting* when I am not in the mood to read about computers specifically and that I appreciate the occasional op-ed piece.

However, I stress that my pallet for the previously mentioned is severally limited.

*Even if they are sometimes baseless piles of excrement.)
