THG is no longer just a computer hardware site, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing reviews of vacuum cleaners on the front page.

I've been visiting anand and xbit-labs a lot more often than I used to

Ehh, yea... The linked review was Xbitlabs, not Anand.

yea me too, i remember when i first came to this site i was a little put off by the name itself, toms hardware lol. But after a week i came to realize that they were a fantastic site with basically daily articles which were all very interesting. And now we get NOTHING, i have not seen a review of hardware for over 2 weeks its quite brutal.

and so i go to anand tech everyday now instead.
