Hey Toms. Usually, I come here for all of my questions and concerns for PC building. When I first came here, this place had the best community. Seriously, all of my questions were answered immediately and intelligently. There are so many great people here with much experience, and I've come to appreciate that. But now, I'm starting to doubt this communities "commitment".
Call my experience biased or whatever. Maybe it's just a coincidence for me that I post 4 threads and nobody bats an eye or answers them anymore. Are you kidding me, it's been a week since the last thread I posted and nobody answered, except 3 people. And from what I've seen, these people love to help those out who need answers. TechyInAZ, badboyrog2, and sammy sung, thank you for being considerate and helpful for answering my question, I appreciate it.
But seriously, where is the community that Tom's Hardware used to have? This place is a ghost yard. At least for me. How many times do I need go out of my way to another website to get an answer? It's not like this place provides that, obviously. I sent a PM to SR-71 Blackbird 4 days ago, and no response? I know he has more important things to do, and he has a family, but when I check his profile and see, "Last Contribution, 6 minutes ago", then I know I'm being ignored. Don't get me wrong, the man is a legend, but maybe he can consider answering the question? Just saying.
Oh, and don't get me started on the bias of this community. Literally, I want to punch the computer screen when I see, "Which brand is best", and all I get is, "ASUS is best", the question comes back as "Why?" and all I see is "Build quality, warranty, great customer service". Hmm, don't give a damn to link to actual reviews and comparisons about which brand actually supports this product best and then give me an answer that refers to the actual product instead of the company? Doesn't surprise me that their profile picture is of that brand and their whole bio is centered around it.
Sorry, but this is just my opinion. I feel more lonely and shunned here than I do at a cemetery. This place is slowly crumbling. But who cares, I for one couldn't care less anymore. I give this place credit for tech reviews, still #1, but if I have an answer to a question, you can find my ass at overclock.net. I've had more responses in a day there then a whole month here. LITERALLY.
Bye Tom's Hardware, you used to be the best. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and this is a prime example. A dead community on a great site. That's all it is. I used to use this site 24/7, that was until my profile password was lost. I'm on my own now.
