Yep, I was here before the new forum and remember Butter. Got the monitor for $150 ebayed it for $600 and still got the $49 settlement!!!! Cried for Nowheremom and was shocked a year or two later to find it was a scam. Was shocked as Rexbo was run out on a rail. Learned a lot from the young Lions in hardware and have enjoyed sharing my gift with off topic. It has been quite a ride! God Bless.

Can't really remember how long I've been here, meaning I visited everyday before becoming a member. I can surely say this place has humbled me! :)

I actually joined in early 1999 and became active with my first question.

I had been visiting AT before then.

As far as I am concerned, this is the ONLY forum.

Been here for the Hardware evals & tech support in the UBB days also. Got sucked into the WMC fiasco (well, I jumped in more likely). Switched over here from the original MSN forums when they went to "newsgroups". Great overclocking support (ah, my first P100 that could do P133 - 33% improvement for opening the case and flipping switches). This has been the best ongoing forum since the first "1000". Thanks to Anand and the helpful community here on this board.

I've been a member since before the change in '99 (mostly in Hot Deals back then) but I lost control of my old handle when I screwed up my email address. Stupid... :eek:

I'd have to 2nd that.

that was definitely the golden years. where almost every company offer free products with free shipping.
or some of them giving away hundreds of dollars in value america money for free. where some people made out real good with mutiple accounts... but not me of course.

Been a member since early 99 I believe. And through a couple of forum changes. I don't post much..but it's quality of quantity.
