Beyond3D was a once very popular graphics card review website. Although it has been degenerated due to poor management, its forum has been very lively in recent years, but suddenly, the forum was closed. Forum administrator BRiT said in a brief announcement that there were many reasons for the closure, part of which was due to a lack of sufficient maintenance resources.
The more important reason is that there are too many trolls in the forum, which makes them so violent that netizens who really like graphics cards and games can't discuss it normally, and they can't be managed at all. Instead, it gets worse and worse.
In desperation, BRiT had no choice but to end this forum and at the same time expressed its gratitude and apology to the netizens who had contributed seriously.
Just a few days ago, Hardware.info, a large PC hardware website from the Netherlands, suddenly announced that it would cease operations. The reason seems to be that it lost its living space after being acquired by a large media group and was abandoned in the process of resource integration.
