How'd you meet this forum? Through a friend urging you to join ATOT? Websearch? Etc...

I found ATOT by first starting out as a hot deals freak rummaging through the deals daily...then I decided to peet at ATOT every now and then until I finally got addicted...

I don't really remember .. someone gave me a link to a hardware review at AnandTech so I guess I just wandered over here. I only posted in Hot Deals at first. I think I was building my first computer.

link to hot deals when Value America bit was running. Mostly in OT now, but I venture forth into GH and a couple of the other tech forums.

It all started off with a friend of mine telling me about the HD forums... I got hooked on that and hung out at off topic once in a while and it was all over. I was hooked hehe.

I think I was actually trying to fix a computer problem and Googled it. Here I am. OR
I went to Newegg, ordered a bunch of sh!t and read some reviews here. Ended up in ATOT.

Are you serious? I couldn't stand those.
I liked a few of them. Made me feel euphoric. There was one though that frustrated the piss out of me. I kept getting cut in half and ending up on the opposite side of the planet as the other half of me. I had nitemares about that one.

I visited the main site all the time, then eventually started hanging out in General Hardware.

Then I found OT... :Q

Now I'm a subscriber. :(

Found it on my own doing searches for computer tech stuff. Was lurking/barley posting in the late 90's during the UBB days.

General Hardware was the "old" Off Topic :)
