EVGA Closes Official Discussion Forum, Advises Membership Transfer to Reddit
EVGA has kept a very low profile over the past two years—according to TPU's news section, the company last introduced new power supply products around August 2023. Last July, we heard about extreme overclocker KINGPIN's transition to PNY, and the emergence of an EVGA-designed AMD X670E chipset prototype motherboard. The summer 2023 news cycle generated further rumors about EVGA's motherboard endeavors having ended. Alleged disagreements with Team Green prompted the company—as a board partner—to shutter its NVIDIA GeForce graphics card business in 2022. Late last night, the American computer hardware manufacturer made a surprising "out of the blue" announcement, via its official discussion board—as spotted by VideoCardz.
Unfortunately, EVGA's latest bulletin signals the end of community activity on its popular forum—a statement reads as follows: "responding to the feedback from our valued customers and in light of Reddit's widespread popularity, EVGA would like to encourage its community to transition to Reddit. As of this announcement, our existing forums will be read only and our team will actively engage with customers on Reddit threads moving forward. EVGA and our Moderators would like to thank all its forum members for the years of posts bringing together a great community of PC Enthusiast, and we hope to continue this community at its new home on Reddit." EVGA recommends that its members "head over" to the almost decade old TEAMEVGA subreddit. A nice welcome message greeted new arrivals: "I know a lot of you will miss the forums, but I would like to point out that many PC companies stopped using forums and switched to Reddit and/or Discord. Mods are still here to help you."

I can not ask for my Huwaii Smartwatch for example. I'm not allowed to create any posts on reddit
I created that reddit account a few months ago. This was next on my list to check out after tik tok. I was checking out those "fabulous" pages what they do and such.
Or the false reports from others being concerned about you because you are at risk of committing suicide.
Someone should read the tale of The Scorpion and The Frog to Mediatek...
Many OEM's have gotten burned and learned their lesson with Nvidia, Mediatek must be getting a really good deal with their partnership.
The one that seems to be getting away with their partnership is nintendo, but as they say, it takes evil to understand evil, so they walk around the Ngreedia stinger with a vibranium armor or something like that lol
I'm going to download all the drivers I need for their hardware that I own tonight.

I was about to say the amount of dunking on EVGA happening around here is weird, but it feels like the negativity level has been on the upswing of late, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
