DFI-Street is no more but there is a new forum.

[Galvanized]

Because of lack of $upport from DFI the plug was pulled on http://www.dfi-street.com/

This seem to be the new forum http://global.dficlub.com/

Word is that DFI is going to move away from the consumer market for mainboards. No sure how true this is but it is the rumor.

thats strange. why not find funding elsewhere. things can change and evolve. think cusl2.com > asusboards > abxzone. anyway i have no idea whether it was a good forum or not.

and what the new forum couldnt afford a vbb license

Oh noo, that was such a good forum, I am sooo sorry to see it go, will be sure to e-mail DFI and whine about this!

@Will; it had paid support staff from DFI working there and helping users with problems etc... It really was a great forum and a really good reason to get a DFI board vs any of the other shit brands with no support at all or only Chinese speaking monkeys following a basic error chart...

That rumor has been around for a while now... I remember hearing it as far back as ~ Late 2005.

Yea, there really hasn't been any good products from them in 2006

Their nForce4 boards where great (DFI Expert) but after that...

For what they charge for a main-board you'd expect a couple of the booth girls from the computer shows to be included with the motherboard & be your indentured servants for the life of the board...

for the life of the board...

I had heard 2 differing rumours...

1) DFI-street's owner & Admin' had been overly critical of recent ULi chipset implimentations & their respective platforms &

2) DFI are currently restructuring their US support dept.

Either way, the site had helpful resourcematerial for DFI enthusiasts abound!

Sadly, their new forum uses phpbb, which is supposed to be a script-kiddo's dream come true. How about forking out a bit for vB?

PHPBB =

This forum started out as PHPBB..... Lived and learned, we utilized it for about maybe 6~8 months or so..... Too many bugs, too few features, zero support, and yes, script kiddie paradise. I'm sure some of the veteran members remember those days.... lol Goodbye phpbb, hello Vbulletin! vB isn't that damn expensive, and well worth it! As for DFI, I was never a fan of their boards, so meh on that topic.
