Atomic (magazine) - The Atomic Site and Forums

The Atomic Site and Forums

Atomic's online forums were launched on the same day as the magazine. They have various PC gaming and technology sections, as well as a general chat area known as the "Green Room". As of January 2006, approximately 3,600,000 posts had been made across the forums' 21 sections. An active community section organises 'meets' and other events regularly.

Readers and subscribers to the magazine, as well as members of the online Atomic community are colloquially referred to as Atomicans.

In mid-2005 the site was revamped to include regular content, both unique to the site and taken from the magazine. Now, daily reviews and news feature on the Atomic site.

Due to the essentially corporate aspect of the forums, moderation is necessary to protect certain interests of Haymarket Media, in order to ensure that illegal or distasteful content is not posted. Moreover, the administrators and moderators of Atomic strive to foster a secure, welcoming environment for all ages, in which personal attacks, racism, sexism and pornography are forbidden.
