I wish I knew when I started reading AT as opposed to when I made my account. Don't remember if it was months or years.

I think I had to have first been here sometime in 98-99. If this forum was here before then it might have been even earlier as I came here for the hot deals section back when internet deal searching was a 'thing'. I'm not sure when I quit frequenting the forums, but it most likely was in 2003 when I got deployed then life got in the way etc. However, I don't think I posted, but I did have an account (before the reset).

I don't even know why I ended up coming back in 2010 honestly :D but now it is a habit.


...and for all I know, I may have already said this in this thread before.

11+ years of posting and 13+ years of lurking. I'm starting to feel old. ;)

I'm a n00b.

But ATOT overall is a bit, compared to some places in the past.

No offense intended, it's not like I've been hanging out on Compuserve, or BBS's much these days. :)

RossMAN, my Hot Deals Hero. The reason I joined, was the ATHD forum. I lurked for a couple of years before I joined, so my join date should have been 1999, if I had joined right away.

I still post a hot deal deal or two, occasionally, but that place isn't quite what it used to be.

(PM+coupon, anyone?)

Wow! This started in 2005 and I finally find it. I'm not from 1999, but discovered AT in what? 2001? 2 months before 9/11 to the day?

I have learned a lot here, it's helped me with some stuff.

I'm a total noob compared to some of the names here, but without noobs all you have a forum circle jerking itself to death.

Maybe we need a "calling all noobs and lurkers" thread.

Come out and post, we don't bite unless it's consensual.

I'd be very interested to talk to anyone who's new here.

1. How did you even find this last-gen social media of vB board of Anandtech?

2. Why?
