I didn't see any sections for introductions, so I'll just throw this here. I'll probably be around quite a bit, so I thought I might introduce myself.

My name is Scott and I'm a technology junkie. I love computers, cars, bicycles, anything with screws and I love to fix random things. In fact, that's my job. I'm an aircraft avionics tech for the Air Force. I'm also a Computer Networks Security major.

I love forums, and it's nice being back on a computer tech forum. I was an active moderator on www.motherboards.org back in 2005-2008 time frame, I've been very active across several car forums, though I haven't done much in regards to that for the last year. All in all I think I have more than 20k posts out there somewhere, but it's not about quantity.

I've been out of the PC tech game for a while and started coming to Anandtech (an old favorite of mine) the last few months as a preferred place to research items for a new build since I had no idea what the current lay of land was. Thanks to the AT staff and all of the forum posts I've ghosted, I feel quite caught up.

I recently sold my 2009 STI for various reasons, but my major consolation prize was getting to replace my computer I built in 2008 with a new one. The wife said to go all out since I gave up something I was very attached to. While I didn't just look for the most expensive parts, I did put a little extra care and expense into making it just how I wanted it.

Anyway, that's a little background about why I'm here. See you on the forum!

Welcome to the forums, who is going to be the first to make the free ipod joke?

I'm pretty sure everyone here joined AT for some computer-related question, realized that they aren't the nerdiest person on the planet, felt at home here... and at some point ventured to this 'off topic' land... and got stuck.

It seems like we have our next victim gentlemen.... fresh meat!

I joined as part of a porn-bomb ruse by another forum.

It failed, but this seemed to be the place for failures, so I stayed.

Well you're just so special! I can see where your name comes from now... :hmm:
