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 […]

Well sadly, realistically it only might have served as a memory lane/ midlife crisis youth grieving ritual.
Ah i remenber website rounds every day, aces, hardocp, anand, the inquirer ( ?) , toms, amdzone, and im sure i forgot a bunch.
 
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.

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.

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 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.
