Hardware Canucks is a Canadian computer hardware review and news website, which has a forum for users to discuss hardware and software-related topics. They also have a YouTube channel, which in recent years has been more active than the site itself.

Vital signs

Hardware Canucks is owned by GTO Media, which itself is owned by Netlink Computer Inc. (the owner of NCIX and other digital storefronts), which recently filed for bankruptcy. It's unclear even with ex-insider reports whether or not Hardware Canucks has split off from GTO due to NCIX's death throes that preceded its bankruptcy, so a copy of the site is being grabbed just in case they haven't.

The main site has suspiciously remained dormant since late October 2017, while the Facebook and Twitter feeds in addition to their YouTube channel have remained very active since. It's possible that the site may be phased out while the YouTube channel continues on, potentially under a different name.
