I love AT.

I have learned so much, met so many great people, laughed and even cried a few times.

If I had the choice between joining Anandtech pre-FuseTalk in 1997 or buying AAPL stock the same year, I'd choose Anandtech.

If you could travel backwards in time and stop yourself becoming from a member of AT.

Would you do it?

And what's the scale of impact would it have made compared to your current situation right now? Estimate and express the difference in pure monetary terms if possible.

Example: If I hadn't joined AT, I would have used all that time productively and have had an extra savings of 100000$ in my bank right now....

Ready? Set? Go............

Not just the money.

I would most likely not be living check to check like ever since logging into AT. I actually had money in the bank before AT and could afford a vacation.

I also would probably still be married to my ex-wife.

AT has saved me a great deal of $$$ starting with hot deals back in the days. I've also gotten great advices on career and family here. I laughed (better nate than lever...roflmao), I cried (visited P&N), and jumped for joy when I found out where to get bulk beef online. Wouldn't change anything.

These forums are funny. First you hate ‘em, then you get used to ‘em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That’s institutionalized.

If I traveled back in time I would log into AT and post my future predictions. I'm pretty sure I would find a way to become very wealthy as well.

If I could go back in time, I'm not sure what all I'd change but AT would be very low on my priority list.

No. I have been coming here for over ten years, but it has never been an important part of my life. Amusing at times, disgusting at times, and sometimes downright annoying with the trolls. But I take this place as a recreational outlet for amusement and education. I couldn't care less if I visit once a month or 8 times a day. And on that note...I am almost too frequently shocked at how much other members are invested in this online forum. Posting about very personal situations or thoughts. It is almost sad and pathetic to realize how much life people have invested in an online social community with other folks they don't even know. Really...truly, sad.

I think you guys are pretty cool. Better than 90% of the cesspool that is the intarwebs.

True story.
