+  <h2>{{ .Title }}</h2>

+  <p>This is the third chapter in an unfortunate series of realizations and events. See previous articles, <a href="/blog/2024-10-26+Your_Local_Forum+rant">Your Local Forum</a> and <a href="/blog/2025-02-13+Your_Local_Forum_Is_Dying+rant+tech">Your Local Forum Is Dying</a>, for more context.</p>

+  <p><a href="https://forums.evga.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">forums.evga.com</a> is no longer just in "read-only" mode. It officially redirects directly to the EVGA subreddit. No archive. No nothing. What an absolute waste of useful information.</p>

+  <p>Searching for answers, I located <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TEAMEVGA/comments/1l76v1g/evgacom_offline_for_maintenance_692025" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this post on Reddit</a> noting that the site went down for maintenance. When the site eventually came back online, the forums were nowhere to be found. This was inevitable, as foreshadowed in my recent <a href="/blog/2025-08-13+AnandTech_Removal+rant+tech">AnandTech Removal</a> post, but I'm no less upset about it. I only hope that an archive surfaces somewhere.</p>

+  <p>I don't know what to be doing about this other than making provisions for archiving and hosting websites I find to be useful and interesting before they're gone for good. We should be angry, though, that's for sure. I hope people are.</p>
