The forum looked pretty slick when I first visited it. That was soon after I bought an Aorus 1080Ti Xtreme 11G. Why did Gigabyte abandon the forum to spam posters? It was left without any moderator for about a year and just fell into ruin before Gigabyte decided to pull life-support. Asus has its own problems, but at least it has inculcated a strong community culture around the ROG brand. Gigabyte appears disinterested in forging the same around the "Aorus" brand. I don't know why Gigabyte management would think killing the Aorus forum is to the company's advantage.
