And NBR is dead!

I thought that might be the case initially, as he still has his original role to fulfill. Spartan deserves better, if you are in contact with him please let him know that he is always welcome here.

I'll let him know.

Even if Spartan owns the domain and he can simply have it automatically redirect here or even set up the dns to redirect to this site.  That way, he can still even feel like he's helped out--must be awfully disheartening to have done all that work and have it all deleted like that. :(

If you can, make sure the emoji icon is visible... Can't see it in mobile or desktop.
I didn't know the emoji was there is it wasn't for a user tip

Yep! This has been added to the list!

One thing we have had to step away from is making changes on the fly as it tends to not lend itself to documentation that we made the actual change and doubling our work.

I have been creating a list of all the requests that have been made over various threads into one location.

This along with temporarily increasing the limit on emoji (which is basically being substituted for likes from nbr) are the top of the list.

TT did not issue a take down for Spartans site, simply put he did a ton of work to the site and when trying to resolve the email issue the support staff that was "helping" him deleted all the posts.  Spartan got disheartened after spending all the time and effort and decided to nix the whole thing.  I was thinking about purchasing the domain and offering it for use here (or as a redirect) but sadly it seems to already be purchased.

That's sad to hear.

I really wish they wouldn't have linked to reddit, the LTT forums, and Tom's Hardware forums to support the idea that "the community will live far beyond the TechnologyGuide sites." There are three successor forums that the community has built for the express purpose of keeping the community together, including efgxt. They should link to those.

that was super lame, they also refused to sell too.

 

did anyone manage to scrap the forums and DB to rearchive it later?

 

which newer forum is winning? there are like 3 or 4 right?

 

how come i can't like posts?

 

EDIT: wait did someone manage to nab the domain?

The like button is hidden on the far right side of the bar that has the quote button. Mouse over it, and the reactions should pop up.

With Spartan's site down, we have this and laptopforum.net left. I'd say this site has the most traffic.

I agree. I cant blame him for scrapping it

AHA! This is where the old group went to. I first joined Notebook Review back in the "naughties" but rarely posted anything. Probably still won't, but I am a voracious reader.

There are two archives; the Internet Archive made an archive, and a few of us from NBR (myself included) made one as well, which is at https://www.nbrchive.net .  @Aaron44126 is its librarian, and is making improvements to the site and styling based on the data we archived, which includes nearly all the non-off-topic threads (a few were only partially grabbed).  The Internet Archive one appears to be complete/fairly complete, and likely includes a good chunk of what we didn't grab.  But we didn't know if they were succeeding in late January, and didn't have time to wait to find out, so we kept going.

You probably are using the default theme, and can't see the react-to-post icon, which blends in with the default theme.  If you see an post where someone has already reacted, put your mouse over the area to the right of the reaction symbol, and you should be able to do so.

To add to what Sandy Bridge mentions above, you could alternatively try changing the Theme at the very bottom of the page to make the button more apparent :)
