Has tragedy become farce?

It depends.... Have you posted in that thread much?

Too much, even though I have a rule (usually followed) to strip extra
newsgroups. Another indication of twilight for a.c.h.o.

Probably an indicator of the growing popularity of web-based forums among
the masses. From the amount of kit available we know that there are still
plenty of overclockers around.

Could be. I also see a number of vendor related websites that import
wholesale from a.c.h.o. and present the discussions as their own. I am
resistant to using 'web-based forums... not sure exactly why.

Then there is the reception that those who have made an impulse buy, and
don't want to hear about any drawbacks inherent to their choice. I'd
supposed that the web-based fora might be more product oriented and less
oriented toward the experimenter.
