It's pretty obvious to me as formerly active threads are either dead or are very slow. The Utopia thread is one example.

When a website reminds you of MSN.com from the old days I am not surprised really. There is a reason why people flocked to Chrome and Google Search. The new HF forces you to go Ad-Block ultra if you ask me. Some ads are fine, too many are not.

Well if adblock ultra actually worked does head-fi just display a blank page, like about:blank?

Not surprised. Even if you filter all the ads, it feels like a chore to use. They have heavily overskinned Xenforo, I suspect- it feels clunky and ugly. I don't even feel tempted to lurk in the classifieds much any more as it's just a pain to use.

I wonder where that remaining 50% goes to. Reddit?

Even the mobile site is a clunky chore that stutters and freezes on a regular basis for me.

The skin is pretty fucked on Firefox. The page jump buttons are completely misaligned. They were broken and then they changed it recently... to be broken in a different way.

I was finally able to get them to disable my account and change the username on my old posts, I had to tag Jude and Joe in my thread requesting my account deletion before anyone responded.

With all of their problems, they still seem to have the resources to police and delete posts rapidly. http://i.imgur.com/TN6r25y.png

Looks like at least some of them are going to Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/6o97j0/rheadphones_10000_new_subs_in_36_days/

SBAF had a spike at the time as well didn't it?

@Mystic - a great tidbit from there is that Z, of Z Reviews "fame" is banned from /r/headphones for being a douche and posting amazon affiliate links (presumably to stuff he's hyping).
