“I've always known about tom's hardware, lurked around...”

I've always known about tom's hardware, lurked around here and there but never asked questions until now. And the community answered my questions relatively promptly and were very friendly and informative. I would personally recommend this site for anyone who needs help with anything computer related. :)

“Clueless”

Not sure about their reviews but their blog articles are clueless trash. When titles are wildly inaccurate and damaging to eco-friendly efforts, I have to recommend completely avoiding this source; there's no ethical alternative.

Tom's Hardware has shifted from providing honest reviews and comparisons of hardware to pushing Nvidia's latest line of GPUs when they themselves haven't even benchmarked or tested them yet. When a company tells you they recommend you buy a product when they themselves couldn't have possibly tested it, you know that they cannot be a solid reference point. I would avoid this website at all causes. It'll never be able to restore confidence in their brand.

The site use to be great, I would read it every day. Now upon accessing the site it morphs into Shop Savvey page that is not worth my time to try and figure out.

Too much sponsorship and biased/unreliable reviews, i guess it is not surprising after it was bought long time ago.

They came to harass me in my thread about PSU cables with spam comments that "I don't post pictures" when I posted the manuals which has pictures... and most importantly specifications

And, deleted another thread lying I got another like it. The 2nd thread was about case cables, and the forum got 2 separate subforums for cases and PSUs. The threads were completely different

When I asked that the abusive moder who deleted my post be de-moded, and reported the other 2 mods for harassment, another psychopath mod banned me again lying about me, doing me an insult

These aren't moderators at all, they're psychopaths getting pleasure from abusing other people.

Finally, I didn't get valuable information on the forum anyway, so I can say I am safely against this tomshardware.com community for the rest of my life, just as I am against every company who ever did me any intentional injustice

Whoever stand for justice, stand against tomshardware.com psychopaths from now on

P.S. It just struck me that they deleted my post (and harassed me) because I bought a Chinese computer case (and probably other international hardware indiscriminately), and these are Americans, or pro-Americans. This means tomshardware.com is biased

free but abusive forum community
