HardWare.fr / forum.hardware.fr · also forum.hardware.fr
The forum of HardWare.fr, a French computer-hardware site launched in 1997. The site stopped publishing in 2018; only the forum is still running.
HardWare.fr went online in May 1997, publishing mainly computer-hardware reviews, and its discussion forum was very popular. The site stopped editorial work in May 2018, and its online computer store began redirecting to LDLC in June 2025; since then only the forum has remained active.
The forum's "Discussions" section hosts many long-running political threads, such as the "mega-threads" devoted to presidential elections or individual parties, which often run to more than a thousand pages. This site reads these public pages.
