That was the XDA forums, I never found their site very usefuly, but maybe that's just me.
Oh I know, but for a long time that was the only reason to visit the site.
Yeah the forums are a treasure for old phone hacking
every time i've tried to decypher something from the XDA forums i feel like i'm looking into a different dimension, i'm guessing it's because most of the people there are non-western and thus it's quite literally true (india has a ton of native english speakers after all, whose version of english is quite different), but boy does it hurt my brain.
Same thing with telegram, the way people write and behave makes me uneasy
That too, and I'd hazard a guess the people posting on XDA have strong imbalance of social/communication skills compared to their technical expertise.
