What happened to this site?

[alexross]

Ross == Sharky && the website == sharkyforums. He was all over the map during the boom, haven't heard much since the bust.

but we're not dead so much, just on a long-term decline because of the lack of any actively driving force to bring people to the site.

Thanks Vindir... those were some fun days I grew up (I think?) with you guys back then. I won't forget it either. After the site was sold and our contracts up (in April of 2001) we all moved on (they shut down the office) and had one of our freelancers (Vince a reallly good guy) do his best albeit with a small budget. I took a couple of years off and did do a lot of work for CPU Magazine (in print) during that time. Once I was ready to get back into things I decided to turn my other hobby (Porsches) into a business

Maybe you should look at it. Sharkwerks...hmmm

It's run by Alex Ross, who started the website. He left, the site died. End of story.

Good find indeed! That'd be correct. It's funny but the same guys I used to write about from Nvidia, Intel etc.. well I actually overclock their Porsche's now

That link takes me to a car performance website. How does that in any way relate to computers?

Would you laugh if I told you the ECU/flash chip on a modern-day Porsche was/is often an AMD unit? So think of it like overclocking but for cars

Alex Ross sold it and left, Sharky Extreme hasn't been worthwhile since I don't know when. I haven't even looked at the main site in probably two years.

Yes sir... I still get reminded once in a while of the good 'ol days. So it's fun to see this and charming that anyone even still remembers I know I really value all the time/effort and kindness you guys (the readers) showed me. I spent pretty much 24-7 of my life from 1998-2001 with you guys and it was a helluva ride.

For those of you that are interested (or not lol!) this is the stuff I'm into these days
