Nope, I can still get to it by going to the individual thread and forum URLs in my history, and changing the host header.
We can keep it going!

Felt weird closing the evo tab. It’s pretty much been continually open on my phone since I had phones capable of having it on....
I’ve had to learn how to delete iPhone Bookmarks - never had to do that before...

I'm not saying I posted that to the Disqus on the new 'community' page.
But I will say that they don't appear to moderate before publishing on their disqus, even when attachments are involved.

I saw and greatly appreciated both Rich's and your efforts Beany!

As became apparent in the last 24 hours a great many people still used the forum. I "like" the EVO official FB page/thread so get cars pop up with their official stories from time to time but I don't think I have ever bothered to click a link to read them.
Ah well I hope the magazine doesn't fold as I like to read whilst on the throne.

Yep, just closed it now. It's always been my first tab on desktop and phone.
This. I know I shouldn’t really care, but the more I think about it the more pissed off I am with the way it was handled. No notice, no apologies, just a cold hearted “fuck you, it’s closing tomorrow”.
Oh well, Matty’s offering is already vastly superior, so here’s to the next 20 years!

Oh Jobbo, this thread can only be entitled "the evo forum" in true forum tradition, poor show!
Anyway, RIP.

The ‘not dead’ convention only ever (properly)applied to individuals so far as I understood, no?

I believe it has been liberally applied to anything that has died for a long time. Although I'm sure it's a matter we can debate if you so wish.
