Chip Forum gonna shut down in a few months

[Sarath]

It used to be much better. But then CHIP too started having gimmicky Cover Stories and went the DIGIT way , although that is what it takes for Good Circulation Have All CHIP maagazines from 2005-09 to 2007-03.

I had only one problem with them, their subscription, it was offloaded to a third party site and was a little painful in procedure and hence I ditched it. I like the mag too but never knew they had a forum.

Almost all the tech forums in india except TDF are Almost dead,With only 5-10 members online.

Chip Team Members like Dr.Chip etc Dont even reply to your emails

CHIP was the first forum on that I became a member but later shifted to TDF because of inactivity on CHIP.

 

[digitaltab]

are they even publishing chip since feb. 2012???

 

[RCuber]

Had visited Chip Forum before when TDF was in a turmoil. came back to TDF after first visit

 

[Dragonslayer]

Sorry to hear this as the quality of the forum was not as good as the magazine.

 

[Rockstar11]

Happened because Chip (company) stopped caring about the forum. *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif

I used to visit chip forum in 2009 for some time when I was fed up of some fanboyism here

but came back too soon...TDF rocks

I think Techenclave is very much alive and kicking. TDF too is doing well I guess.

Nope. Their traffic has fallen quite a bit since they moved to IPB. But yes they are nowhere close to dead.

As of now we are on the rise and I hope it stays that way.

 

[thetechfreak]

Tech Enclave and TDF are pretty much all I know that are active.

All chip members are now bringing Tech2 Forums to life

Chip forum was not competition to our forum. So it wont affect us.

 

[red dragon]

TE is doing just fine, their hardware and classified sections are very much alive and kicking.
In fact E has stopped growing.

BTW, Coolpcguy here is a very knowledgeable person(one of the few chip forum member with vast knowledge)

Sent from Galaxy S2

 

[Krow]

I am aware of cpg being a knowledgeable Guy. Have been reading his few posts here and knew that.

TE is a market oriented forum while we are a bit different forum as of now. No direct competition to be honest.

Let's not even talk about E. I can't read in peace. Signatures longer than posts, too many monosyllables. Spare me!

 

[skeletor]

lol what is "competition"?? We need to get away from that mentality. Indian communities should grow and be strong.

 

[Vyom]

I don't understand what competition are people taking about here. It's not like members here post to make money, is it? :/
Members post to share knowledge, to resolve issues and help out each other.
Lol at the word competition!

 

[Zangetsu]

TDF was the only forum I joined for KT.

KT: Knowledge Transfer

so,no idea about Chip forum (Although I once opened its forum to register it was damn slow..so I never visited it again)

 

[Krow]

True. Competition does not make sense TBH. Let me rephrase, the decline in the Chip userbase has benefited us as some of their members moved here. And forum shutting down will benefit some other forum, who knows?

 

[Dragonslayer]

Chip forum had become a place for spammers.There was no proper moderation.I never visited that forum twice.
