Verivox bought German news outlets like Onlinekosten, Chip and a few others and they will delete the included forum, knowledge of over 20 years, especially for https://www.onlinekosten.de/forum
Germany's highest publicly available IT knowledge around xDSL, fiber and telecommunications will be gone forever on the 3rd of January.

This feels as dumb as when imdb removed their discussions section.

Oh the IMDB discussion section, how many times I still am looking at something on there and want to see comments about it and nope.

Its just baffling that the Internet is branded as this fountain of knowledge, yet its becoming more and more purely corporate BS every day with the actual knowledge being deleted.
