It was fun while Ian was Admin.

This forum has become a joke. Every day it is the same BS. It has gotten to where I do not even read the topics. The time has come for me to stop logging in.

Hi

This forum has become a joke. Every day it is the same BS. It has gotten to where I do not even read the topics. The time has come for me to stop logging in.

There's still one of Ian's forums that doesn't have any of this nonsense due to active moderation.

Windows XP Forums

Windows XP technical support and discussion forums for the legacy operating system.

www.xpforums.com

Yes it's primarily focused Windows XP but there's plenty of old school techs that may be able to help you with Windows 10 issues. Introduce yourself, the regulars are a helpful bunch.

Hey, could you reach out to him through that forum?

I had been on this forum three years ago, but I got busy and dropped it for a while. I forgot my password so I created a new account, which would be this one. So, I’m not as new as the system claims.

Also I believe the domain is going to expire in a year.

I tried there, here and at Windows11forums, no reply from Ian or the new admins. It's possible that these forums will vanish once the domains expire.

I’ve tried on other forums that don’t relate to computers, one being the garden pond forum. It is still active, but it seems as though I’ve been ignored.

I didn't even know about that one - I checked and looks like none of the admins have logged on in months except Griffin who last logged in yesterday - try messaging him and see what reply you get.

I know about Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10 & Windows 11 forums but never knew about the garden pond forum. What other forums did Ian run?

 

[I support commonsense]

There were several more that I can’t remember. One was a pc forum dedicated to pcs in general. Several had nothing to do with computers.

Be safe everyone. I can't handle all this trash spam. I'm not gonna filter the legit topics. Signing out for real this time.
