  <h2>{{ .Title }}</h2>
  <p>Late last year, I wrote about going back to specialized forums, that they were invaluable resources. I meant every word, and last week we lost another one I was just starting to feel at home in, right under my nose.</p>
  <p><a href="https://forums.evga.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">forums.evga.com</a> has entered "read-only" mode, displacing its community. EVGA mods' call to action? Move to the EVGA subreddit.</p>
  <p>I am saddened. Others have expressed what I assumed, they will not be using the subreddit and will no longer be participating. This is an extreme blow to the community. I can only hope that enough original members stay active. I myself was in the middle of a <a href="https://forums.evga.com/X58-SLI-LE-3way-SLI-SupportSlot-Spacing-Question-m3629036.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">thread discussing old hardware</a>. I had planned on posting back with an update once a few new parts arrived. I'll try and post on the Reddit, but I imagine that interaction is over.</p>
  <p>It's a shame. Consolidation and homogenization. The name of the late game.</p>
