Anandtech’s Archives Disappear Without a Trace

[David_Schroth]

Nearly a year ago, we shared the news that Anandtech was being snuffed out by its publisher, Future, after being left to slowly rot from a lack of investment as its other brands seemed to be more worth their while. at the time, Future publicly stated that the site would remain available indefinitely, but much […]

A shame

I know the feeling of all your content of 18 years going offline; I can sympathize.

Well sadly, realistically it only might have served as a memory lane/ midlife crisis youth grieving ritual.

It's been very annoying not having access to [H] articles, and it's going to be very annoying not having access to Anandtech articles. Gawd dangit.

Sad times indeed. I've lost track of how many tech sites have gone under in the last decade with nothing left behind. I actually was doing some cleanup on my bookmarks a couple of weekends ago and deleted a few for that same reason.

Can't it be accessed trough some archival site?

I just wonder if they will actually keep the forums going or not.

I miss Anandtech more than I'll ever miss [H}, anand's in depth tech articles were industry leading. [H} content while it had its own spin, it wasn't as in depth nor technical compared to Anand (and that's fine, it wasn't its focus) What I remember [H] for is Kyle picking a fight anytime with anyone he had a chance, be it intel, nvidia, amd, apple, you name it. He was eager to dig his sword into whoever he thought was acting wrongfully.

FiringSquad, Sharky Extreme, nvnews, Xbit Labs, Tech Report, every 3dfx related site, Daily News, Hexus.net, techbench... the list goes on

FiringSquad

FiringSquad was another I sorely missed when it was gone, but good gawd that was so long ago. I discovered [H] and FS around the same time, 2000 or 2001, not too long before I got my Athlon Tbird.

And to your list I will also add Tom's Hardware Guide. Yes sure the site is still sorta around, but old-school for-realz THG stopped existing a very long time ago. And I greatly miss it.
