I bet Apoppin would be very nice to you BoFox and Ocre.
His forums look largely like a collection of conversations between Apoppin and Sick Beast, and that isn't exactly the "bigger than Google, worldwide meeting place" he had envisioned.
It's mostly two guys chatting about a. what NVIDIA did for Apoppin this week b. how huge BTR is going to be.
LOL- I told Apoppin years ago when he was part of starting ABT that tech forums are dead, most of the people who post on them are paid to do so. The golden age of tech forums has waned into a latter day rust belt, the old empire fallen into a shabby viral marketing scam with a couple old ghosts like us coming to it because it's a habit.
Tech forums are experiencing what newspapers experienced.
That is why places like AT have to protect the shills. The only money left is ad money paid for with the protection of marketeers. Used to be independent thought was the draw of such forums, now they have all sold out for jobs and/or cash.
Like most things in life, follow the money.
