Macnn forums are gone

[maflynn]

I had a random thought about some of the old mac sites and remembered macnn from back in the day.

the main news site disappeared around 2015 or 2016, not sure, but the forum was up and running. Using the wayback machine it looks like the forums went down some time at the beginning of April

I'm actually surprised the forums were still running nearly 10 years after the main site closed down. Still sad to see it go.

Ahh, MacNN used to be one of my regular stops on the online Apple news circuit.

I registered on their forum sometime in the late 90s. Would have been neat to see if I could resurrect my old account.

Archive.org had a good portion of it archived. A lot of it is now mysteriously gone. Thanks internet archive! First forcing ruffle and now this!

I just clicked my long-dormant bookmark for MacNN. I got a mostly blank page. Just text in the upper left corner" "May return later"

If memory serves, this is the site dominated by a handful of people with a penchant for using crude language. A year or so ago is the last time I made an effort to visit the site regularly, and I was put off once again by this tendency.
