Agreed, I've never forgiven them for removing comments on articles. Though in the end the articles themselves went downhill too. For about four years or so they've been desperately trying to clone Buzzfeed and it's excruciating.DS is my eyes have gone downhill massively. I got really annoyed a few years ago how they stopped comments on their main website pages as I would love to read them. The forum is so heavily moderated that you can't have any fun on it. It was fun while it lasted.
I hope the whole site goes down the toilet eventually. I can't believe what happened to what was once a genuinely interesting tech-based site.
