What has slowed FM down in my opinion:

Being blocked at work due to it being labled a gaming site (Thanks YG [thumbdown]) by the content filter. FM used to be a PC/hardware site. Now it's FM.YG.com.

The unnecessary number of sub forums. Nobody goes into the sub forums. [thumbdown]

Lackluster 3dmark releases. 2001se was the last great 3dmark. Tweak this, tweak that, you'd see changes in results. Nowadays, scores reflect mostly what your video card is. Kind of hard to get excited over that. [yawn]

Yes,I remember the complaints from a large amount of regular users of these boards that they were hit by the fact the name in the URL has also changed.

But the discussion about the 3DM2001 and the rest.. Well, it was one helluva nice benchmark program, but it also contains alot of holes in it. You could literally cheat on it. The positive things it had brought also had a more darker side to it and as company who developes and creates the programs, well I understand they don't want their own software flakey... It is a difficult discussion where both sides of the party have their rights and their wrongs.

And I agree, the sub forums should have been taken care off. The more older lay-out was better. Too many forum topics now as well, containing all little things about FM/YG.. some could be merged or heck even be deleted from here and have some of our sub forums back to normal.

My 1 Eurocent and a half.
