Get in on the Ars community that doesn’t fit beneath an article

加入 Ars 社区，探索文章评论区之外的精彩

If you’re like many of our readers, you’ve got Ars Technica bookmarked and hit the front page a few times a day. But for others, a compelling story is what brings them here for the first time. And the discussions sometimes keep them coming back. 如果你和我们的许多读者一样，你可能已经把 Ars Technica 加入了书签，并且每天都会刷新几次首页。但对于其他人来说，一篇引人入胜的文章是他们第一次来到这里的原因，而随后的讨论则让他们流连忘返。

Since its launch in 1998, Ars Technica has been known for its depth of community. If all you’re doing is checking out the front page and the discussion threads that sit beneath each story, you’re missing out on more than you realize. 自 1998 年创办以来，Ars Technica 一直以其深厚的社区底蕴而闻名。如果你只是浏览首页和每篇文章下方的评论区，那么你错过的东西远比你想象的要多。

The Ars OpenForum is a place for readers to ask questions, compare notes, argue (without being jerks to each other), and go down all sorts of rabbit holes. Our Hardware and Tweaking forums cover PC builds, networking, mobile computing, CPUs and motherboards, A/V, and just about any other hardware-related topic you can think of. Ars OpenForum 是一个让读者提问、交流心得、争论（在保持礼貌的前提下）以及深入探讨各种冷门话题的地方。我们的“硬件与调试”（Hardware and Tweaking）论坛涵盖了 PC 组装、网络、移动计算、CPU 与主板、影音设备，以及几乎所有你能想到的硬件相关话题。

Stop by the Operating Systems & Software forums for in-depth discussion on Windows, macOS, or Linux or just to have a good, friendly argument over why your preferred OS rules. In the Lykaion, you’ll find the Soap Box for political debate, Maker’s forum, the Observatory for science conversation, our gaming forum, and our subscriber-only forum, The Lounge. 欢迎前往“操作系统与软件”（Operating Systems & Software）论坛，就 Windows、macOS 或 Linux 进行深入探讨，或者仅仅是为了友好地争论为什么你偏爱的操作系统才是最棒的。在 Lykaion 板块，你可以找到用于政治辩论的“肥皂箱”（Soap Box）、创客论坛、“天文台”（Observatory）科学交流区、游戏论坛，以及我们仅限订阅用户访问的“休息室”（The Lounge）。

The Lounge is truly the beating heart of the Ars community. The tagline says to sit back, relax, and vent yer geek angst. Ars Pro subscribers certainly do: In this episode of ‘Things That Piss Me Off’……… STAR TREK: The Perpetual Thread, The Electric Car Thread, 2026 NFL Thread, Dog appreciation thread (with pics!), Cat Appreciation Thread (with pictures!). “休息室”确实是 Ars 社区跳动的心脏。其标语写着：坐下来，放松心情，发泄你的极客焦虑。Ars Pro 订阅用户确实做到了这一点：在“那些让我抓狂的事”系列中……还有《星际迷航》长青讨论帖、电动汽车讨论帖、2026 年 NFL 讨论帖、狗狗鉴赏帖（附图！）、猫咪鉴赏帖（附图！）等等。

We’ve also spent some significant time and effort cleaning up ancient markdown and HTML tags that made some of our all-time classic forum threads almost unreadable. Now you can read the story of Fugly the Octopus, the time someone accidentally swallowed the 7 key on his keyboard, or just another customer service rant—in all of their original glory. 我们还投入了大量的时间和精力，清理了那些导致一些经典论坛帖几乎无法阅读的陈旧 Markdown 和 HTML 标签。现在，你可以重温“Fugly 章鱼”的故事、某人误吞键盘上“7”键的趣事，或者仅仅是另一篇关于客户服务的吐槽——以它们最初的样貌呈现。

In addition to Lounge access, Ars Pro subscribers get all of the other perks: An ad-free reading experience, Neutron Star and Classic front-page views, Tracker-free browsing on Ars, Optimized page layout, Full-text RSS feeds, And a special user badge for Ars Pro++ subscribers. 除了访问“休息室”的权限外，Ars Pro 订阅用户还能获得其他所有福利：无广告的阅读体验、中子星（Neutron Star）和经典版首页视图、Ars 站内无追踪浏览、优化的页面布局、全文 RSS 订阅源，以及为 Ars Pro++ 订阅用户提供的特殊用户徽章。

Crucially, your Ars Pro subscription directly supports Ars Technica’s journalistic mission. And you get all of this for just $25 for an Ars Pro membership and $50 for Ars Pro++.
