CraigRT kept sending me links to posts over ICQ back in the day...

He eventually persuaded me to join... :D

i came looking for help on a computer question in the hardware section and somehow decided to see what OT was all about and much to my dismay, i got sucked in.

I discovered the CPU forum before I discovered ATOT. I just randomly clicked on ATOT to see what kind of topics were being discussed.

It was so long ago, I don't even remember. O_O

Though, I think I started posting in P&N to start, I should really get back in there.

EDIT : Oh, ATOT, not AT Forums. Hm...about the same time, though. I floated around all of the categories that interested me (P&N, OT, Software, Technical Support).

Read a thread in Software on HL2 and then looked around, and haven't looked back :)

I came across AT looking for hardware information. I think it was on one of those free hosting services that were insanely popular years ago. I can't remember how I found the forum though because if I remember, at the time, there was not a link from the main site. I think I originally joined for the OS and hardware sections and only post in OT occasionally.

I was heavily into FS/FT Forums for a few years, got bored one day a couple of months ago, clicked on OT and now I'm hooked!
