    Makes perfect sense to me too. It's not like we pay to keep Hexus and its forums running - I certainly don't have a misguided sense of entitlement.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Their parent company is still alive, and I doubt it's something that would really show up on an end of year accounts review... so if they are, we're probably best off not drawing attention to it

    I somehow doubt the support forums were created as a charitable gesture.

    It draws traffic, thats all it needs to do. If someone like yellowbeard hangs around to actually provide help then double bonus, but just having hexus associated with these manufacturers in a support capacity is good for hexus.

    Re: Genral Discussions Demotion

    Perhaps, but the forums carry a lot of Scan advertising, and the "Powered by Corsair" tagline pops up now and again... it's clearly all interlinked
