Remembering old times

[cobito]

I thought I had said something in this thread

I registered in 2004, which is 13 years. I got involved attracted by a post about how to unlock the Athlon XP. It was the first time I did OC to a micro and from that moment on and thanks to everything I read here back then, my knowledge increased exponentially (until then my main medium was PCActual ). But I didn't start participating more regularly until two years later, when I asked for advice to build my current PC.

As I see that it has happened to a few of you, my hobbies changed but for some reason, Hardlimit was always in my favorites and it was the first site I checked every day to see what was going on.

A year and a half ago I agreed to take charge of the forum and that gave me motivation and interest to keep up to date with hardware news. In fact, lately I have left the Linux world a bit aside (which doesn't mean I have abandoned it by any means) and I have focused more on the site. Since I took the reins, HL has occupied by far most of my time in front of the computer in my free time.

Although from the first second my desire was to relaunch the forum, reality has not stopped giving me good hits in this year and a half. But this is what it is. Sometimes you lose perspective of reality, and that reality is that for 10 years there have been those who have questioned what will be done to relaunch the forum; and I am not someone to do that in a year and a half.

Hardlimit reached its moment of glory a long time ago and thanks to that, we have a great repository of information. There are still some veterans hanging around here, making valuable contributions and keeping the forum alive. Now we are a small community with a giant under our feet and I think that is a lot seen how most sites that don't have half the life of this one have ended up. A small community; that is what we are, neither more nor less. I hope that it is not too ambitious a goal that it remains that way.

The fight is not over and I hope to find the formula to make sure that in 15 years there are still forumers reminiscing about old times.

Until then I can only miss all those forumers who, along with you, made this a great community and who are no longer seen.

If you manage to keep it active, I will be one of those soldiers who will be here fighting until their last breath.

Greetings and happy christmas!

Hello! Well, I... I feel ashamed about how little I come in, especially in recent years. Between work, my partner, the house, family and... the "doggies", time flies by so quickly.
I suppose that the convenience of Telegram also makes one abandon it even more, but well.

You know that I love you anyway!!:couple_mm:

It is complicated today the issue of forums, because people are moving towards other more modern social networks (which for me are mostly not better for sharing information because they are more fleeting and disordered).

You just have to take a look at Noticias3D, where I participate very little but that I occasionally read with Tapatalk. It is not a minority forum, not at all, but its activity has dropped a lot.

I am registered in a Linux forum and its activity is also very poor, it moves more also in Telegram. From Forocoches they tried to relaunch a small alternative forum about the Seat Ibiza and participation has been testimonial, and that is that the largest forum that had about one of the most popular cars in Spain closed.

I already tell you, it is not a good time for forums, but I will always be in several, and this one the first.
