How did you learn about AnandTech?

[The Godfather]

For me it was a friend of mine. I was always asking him for information/help for my pc, and one day he referred me to AnandTech, so i gave it a try. What made me sign up was quote: "Over 150,000+ users" I don't regret it

Googling for reviews on a 9600 Pro, IIRC. I signed up for the heck of it.

I'd read the main site (reviews) for years before signing up for the forums. Don't remember what specifically convinced me to join the forums, but I obviously spend too much time here now.

needed advice on a build

I read a newspaper article about Anand back in 1998. I signed up because I learned so much here at the forums.

Googled for info on a motherboard. It's been a downward spiral ever since.

Yes but how did you learn about the website? I might add a poll.

Sharkyforums.com took off their off topic forum because it generated to much traffic. I used their fs/ft forum as well. So I started looking for another place that had fs/ft as well as an off topic.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Hot Deals forum called me.

 

[Howard]

I don't remember.

 

[SamurAchzar]

Reading the site (along with FiringSquad and HARDOCP) since '99 or so. I remember the times when Anand was pretty. I looked at the NewEgg article and lost all faith of the mankind.
Anyway, recently I got banned from a local hardware forum so I thought this should be a nice place to come visit. Har, har, har.

Scrolled through anandtech and found a forum .

Friend referred me.

1999? Pretty?! Wasn't Anand pretty young at the time?

 

[waggy]

i really can't remember. been a few years.

 

[wedi42]

i think they mentioned it on techtv back when it was good

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

CrackRabbit suggested it while I was trying to figure out a problem I was working on. Didn't help with the problem, but it was entertaining, so I stayed.

Yes. Young and fresh like a lettuce. I think Vinnie maimed him to mark her territory.

I started reading the hardware reviews in 99 I think. I saw someone use the site in one of my programming classes and needed some information on hardware. I read reviews for about two years before joining the forums.

came here from sharky extreme some years back, something happened on the forums that made me leave there but i don't remember what it was exactly.

 

[cirthix]
