Like many, I initially found this place during the Celeron 300A OC period. I actually had a 333A, but that's another story.

Never made an account back then, but found you again many years later and it's been pretty much a daily thing for me to check in here. I hope the forums can stick around for a good while. I'm sorry the main site is going away.
 
I first came to AT in 2001 when I was researching parts for a new build. Didn’t join right away…working 60+ hours per week and commuting 4-5 hours per day didn’t leave me much time for another forum…I was already semi-active on a couple of reef aquarium sites and BMW sites…then I got hurt at work…and suddenly my time magically freed up. I think my actual forum join date is in 2006, but I started reding the main site more frequently in 2004.
The writing has been on the wall ever since Anand sold the place…quality and quantity of GOOD, well- written articles started dropping.

Wow time flies! Pentium 4's and Athlons were still duking it out when I joined here. Radeon 9800 PRO was the king of GPU's. And we had this new fancy thing called SATA to replace this chonky thing called IDE.

R.I.P in peace old friend 🙁

I had a Radeon 9800 Pro! My Dad got it for me as a Christmas present around that time. Always thought the box art with the crazy gargoyle was awesome. When I upgraded after that, I got an AsRock socket 939 board with an AGP and PCI-E slot (wow!), to leave my GPU upgrade path open. Great fun, I haven't built a PC in years now.
 
22+ years for me. I was single at the time, now married with three kids and minus a gallbladder and a kidney stone or two.

The forum will still be around, but in my experience once the main site dies the forum will drift away also. My suggestion is to delete the Toms Hardware Forums and purge all their users and move over this one to there.
 
in 3 days i will have been here for 18 years

The registration for the main AT page is down and has been down for a while. AT Forums is hosted and managed separately and has been able to accept new users this whole time.

Darn. There goes my idea of reselling my account.
A lightly used account in good standing, I figured it should fetch at least $3.50.

Sad news, one of the first tech sites I started visiting, I bookmarked AT probably in the 90s, and I lurked in the forums since ~2004 before registering.
 
Think I registered here after a year of lurking to post about the old RC5 dist computing battle between TA and DPC...

It was a nice neutral window into the lives of people on the other side of the ocean (And I was bored at work)
