Wasn't really part of the youtube based business model I guess?
Mike (SKYMTL) used to sell review items and donate the money to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. This was while being the review editor was a side gig for him. The other reviewers were allowed to keep the items they reviewed and dispose of them how they wished. When he quit his day job he apparently decided to focus on the revenue-producing part of the business and hasn't logged into the forums for years. Gav still logs in to check on things. And now you all know everything that's been said publicly before.

Yep. Remember getting a used MX500 SSD from the reviewed pile.

Focus moved to youtube. It's where the money is, and traffic here is negligible. At this point I'm just thankful they've still kept the site up and running. I don't imagine the hosting is expensive, but there's still a cost and they could have killed it off with the switch to youtube.It's strange to me how they don't visit their own forum anymore.

I bought a couple of GPU's from SkyMTL in the past. They were usually good deals, and money going to charity was a bonus.
