EVGA Forum became read only suddenly & suggestion was to engaging on Reddit / many seem to not like that platform

 

Looks like there are members who will be looking for a new forum to call home; as their comments on Reddit suggest it is not for them

 

Folding & Crunching teams will probably also see some losses.


I'm trying to use the Reddit platform & it does not seem very user friendly / organized IMO .... have to see if this old dog can learn new tricks

 

Maybe a few of those folks will give this forum a chance

It's a shame a lot of traditional forums are dying. I like the structure and ease of finding info on forums. Things like Reddit and Facebook groups just always seem like an endless string of people asking the same things every day and expecting immediate replies. 

 

Obviously anyone is welcome to move over here. The forum just went through a bit of a rough patch but are slowly bouncing back. A lot of the members here are more chatty on the Discord server, but we're working on getting more content and activity on the site.

Yeah EVGA killed their forums.  I think it's a matter of time until they close up shop.

 

I wonder why they didn't switch to AMD cards.  Maybe that answer is in an NDA somewhere, but that doesn't stop them from closing one company and starting another.

It's owned by one guy who probably just wants to close up shop and retire. 

 

I definitely figured writing was on the wall for EVGA to close up shop in the next few years after they ditched doing graphics cards. You saw it in that they also killed the motherboard division, and here you are seeing them ditch the forums.

 

Maybe some can join in here.

IMO he should have sold the company and wiped his hands with it, allowing the company to pivot to AMD/Intel AIB partner and stay alive instead of just... dying.

They're all welcome here, 100%.

Anyone on Reddit still at all who could maybe invite EVGA folks over to check us out?

This ^

 

I used to always buy EVGA graphics cards and power supplies.  They had great products and great service.

 

I think their graphics cards was the largest part of their business, once they closed that I figured it would be only a matter of time before they went down completely. At that point I decided not to even buy power supplies from them because there would be no company left to take care of any warranty issues.

Yup. Andrew Han. What a prick. Single-handedly destroyed the best company in the business.

SmookinJoe has gone to TechPowerUp folding team and their forums. They appear to have the more traditional forum set up, somewhat like EVGA was. I have accounts here and TechPowerUp, neither of which I use often at all, but both are streets ahead of that reddit circus. Reddit is totally unsuited for the purpose of a tech forum.
