As for them closing the forum, maybe some of the Matrox community will make their way here?


I resemble that remark. :) I'm disappointed that they decided to close that forum. It was a good resource.

I have been in touch with my contact at Matrox. I have asked if they can place a link to the WSGF on their notification page. While Matrox may still be the best place for tech support issues with the TH2Go, I explained how I felt the TH2Go userbase would still like a community to be a part of.

Hopefully I will know more soon.

Hey RUS007 ... how's it going ?
It has been a while ... what you been up to ?

Richie does come here to post solutions etc ... lets hope he keeps coming !


Hey Paul,

I've been good ... just busy with every day married life things. Not much time lately for computer games. I hope you're all well too. Little late but best wishes from me for the 2007.

I know Richie comes around here ... I'm just hopping he comes to this thread to gives us an inside about what happened. I've been on that forum for quiet some time too and would like some explanation.

I am shocked right now back from my vacation....

I can not understand this.





I have always loved Matrox because of their high-quality technical support and especially the forums.


I understand why Matrox has closed the forums. It was costing them too much to have a bunch of people complaining about the mediocrity of their products.

Mhm I think the forum itself could not be too expensive for such a big company ( i know many companies of a couple people having a forum)
Maybe it was the manpower ( RichieG).
But are they unemployes now?
No they are answering the support emails that is to my opinion less time effective support.

You are right with matrox postion in the end user graphics markets but why did they release TH2G with its gamer related marketing ?
It is clear that it depends on a nvidia vga card.



Now matrox will take one more step backward into the gre zone of anonymity until nowbody knows what and that they are selling products.

They released it for us (xParhelia users). Now they don’t have to do anything. They can say goodbye to us on good term. It’s not up to them anymore.

mhm (my) Parhelia time is over so I can understand your opinion in a certain way but the DH2G / TH2G was released 2006 and its mga forum was very informative and effective to close is uncomprehensible.

I do agree with everyone that this was sudden and unexpected. We just have to look at the facts that Matrox doesn’t want to continue being a player in the gaming industry.

So it would be good to stop selling DH2GO and TH2Go as surround gaming experience (they even trademarked surround gaming and they have a SG zone) and stopping the SGU.

They have already gave us all the tools we need. Do we need to get them to come over our homes and player the games for us too?
