Poll: Do you actively participate in the hardware section of this message board?

[eyor]

I have always found it odd that there are so many OT junkies that I've never seen in the General Hardware forum. How did you even find your way to this message board?
Course, I do have a good time hanging out here when I'm board.

I actually found this board starting when I was at the AIC board on delphi. Unsickle posted some spam() for his site, bensbargains, and I got into deal-hunting. One of the links to deal sites was the hot deals forum. Eventually I wandered into the hardware section, and got interested. I now have a comp that I have built and am overclocking, and several hundred posts to my name in the General Hardware section, although I also frequent hot deals and off topic. My life story thus-far ends at this point. What about you? How did you find this message board?

Vote in the poll, are you here for the computer hardware?

 

[Czar]

Yes, I started there but then I noticed that the there are more posters here, so I ended up here, still I sometimes wish that more people would post in OT.

 

[Rendus]

I don't because I talk about hardware all day every day at work, and I get tired of the same "Which is faster, GeForce 256, GeForce2, GeForceMX or Voodoo3?" sort of thing. You can almost predict most of the questions in there

 

[toph99]

when i can i like to

 

[Deeko]

Yes, I mainly go to GH, video, and OT, occasionally I stop by CPU's and DC.

I got to OT by way of FS/T and Hot Deals. I look in other areas but most of the questions I know anything about have already been answered so I stay mum.

 

[abracadabra1]

been around the forums for a lonnng time...but didn't start comming to OT more often until a couple of weeks ago when i noticed that there were like 10billion OT posts.
much more than that of the other threads.

 

[ArkAoss]

yeah i used to avoid ot, cause i joined in the hight of paulsons nefdom, and every thread in here was by him, or about him, or became about him, but now it's slightly more civilized, just don't follow into his dark path. none of the other sections have much life

 

[Valhalla1]

there are other forums? :Q

but yeah, I used to never post in OT. actually back then it was "Non-Hardware Related" or something to that effect.

 

[BigToque]

I post in 4 forums, General Hardware, Operating Systems, Off Topic and Forum Issues.

 

[dcdomain]

Got here through the Hot Deal forums...
Then to the General Hardware Forum (cuz I needed help)
and then the Off Topic..

the other forums I stop by sometimes...

I started out in GH, I didn't discover OT until I was senior and I still post there from time to time (normally when OT is slow). I know what I'm talking about in hardware for the most part, except for some little details about specific parts, I don't feel the need to learn much more in my current situation. I like to lurk GH and FS/FT (i bought ram today!!!!!!). I just like the atmosphere and community in OT, plus I have a few kinda online "friends" that I've met here.
