Tom's at 25

[Colif]

Anyone writing a history of this place?

I saw the how tech has changed article but we 25 years old, surely we could talk about ourselves a bit more?

I know owners aren't the same but sites been here all that time.

I have only been here 5 years, love to know more

25 already?

The domain name was registered on 1997-09-11 T04:00:00Z according to domain registry, so it's actually 24.

So is there another domain that was used before?

it wouldn't be first time I seen someone celebrate a big anniversary early, my last job kept having them and if you looked at history, it didn't add up.

I think they had a different name in the USA, but I only joined 6 years ago (yesterday) so I don't really know. It is one reason I asked.

Spring 2021 marks the 25th anniversary of Tom’s Hardware. Started in 1996 by Dr. Thomas Pabst, our site has been there to provide coverage and context for all the major developments in tech from the last quarter century.
