Infinitedan's post was mildly amusing. Guaranteed he's regged here for a good hatewank every week.

The final refresh was a near on full screen alert demanding you turn off adblocker. Quite poetic.

That post by infinite Dan on EG was something else. So much energy. Wasted. I hope they get the help they need. Not sure what the help is for voluntarily spending 14 years somewhere you hate. |

I took a screenshot as late as I could manage in the Sunsetting thread. That was the last post I saw. |

Recent forum posts are still showing up on my profile, so he's obviously just redirected the sub-domain. He hasn't nuked it from orbit at all. Pathetic. TBF the sunsetting post said it would be a redirect to main page at first. Right now I'm sure someone's working out the final size and post count of the forum because we asked them to and we deserve that at least |

I'll genuinely never go on that site again. Nothing to do with them deleting the forum, I can understand why they did that.
Just the site itself fucking sucks. The content is awful and has been for about 10 years. The forum was the only thing that kept me looking at the front page now and then. But that's done.

It was underwhelming. I was expecting a goodbye page "forum is closed, see you on the home page" or something like that.

So, wondering whether or not to delete my account now as a sort of protest?
I doubt I'll ever want to comment on the articles anyway...

Heh, yeah. It's just dawned on me that I'll probably never actually visit Eurogamer on a whole ever again. I never thought of it like that until just now.

Does the Android app still work? I wonder if they've just redirected the web version

I am reminded of that time when myself, nick, gremmi, neilka and assorted others found a way to spy on and post in group threads.
First thing we did was read the mod threads, and then onto spamdangled's group where he was bitching about us. We didn't manage to keep that trick a secret for long and craigy was forced to patched it.
ed: oh yeah, so the point of that thought; I wonder if there's still a way in?
