POLL: How did you find out about AnandTech ?

[RossMAN]

Word of mouth on the DVDTalk.com forums at first I hated this place, the forum software then one day I just woke up an ATer and haven't looked back since then.

 

[Squisher]

Newsgroup - comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.misc

in about '97 or '98, didn't even go to the forums 'til a couple of years later.

 

[chibchakan]

<< looking for reviews and comparison of certain mobos for a friend... then i found and clicked the forums button... and then... it consumed my life <sob> i lost my job, my wife, my kids, even my dogs! the repo man even took my pants away!!! ever since then, i've been a broken man, sitting in my underwear at my computer, reading ATOT day and night, and venturing once in a while to the Hot Deals forums, For Sale forums, or when i feel daring enough, i even go outside. not too long though, the big yellow ball in the sky hurts my eyes! >>



LMAO

Best reply so far. Thanx for sharing MeanMeosh.

I got a link from another hardwhere site.
Maybe planethardware.com

I was looking for reviews on parts to build my first system. A P2 166/MMX with Win95 so I could play Riven. Now those were the days. Now I have to go back to Win98 so I can play NFS4 because it wont work on this $hit Win2k.:disgust:

 

[chuckieland]

You forget to add the option for "Learned about AT from another AT member"

<< You forget to add the option for "Learned about AT from another AT member" >>



I think the "Word of mouth' option covers that.

 

[chibchakan]

Bump for those of you who wanna share. Just searching & surfing on the internet winning so far.

Started reading the site back in mid 1999 & then finally joined the forums at the date to the left. Actually started posting around November 2001.

EDIT: I remember now....I was plannin on building a computer (mid 1999), and a friend gave me a link to Tomshardware.com & found a link to AT from there. Now my "Computer Sites" folder has grown to like 40+ websites .

 

[Wingnut]

From working at the now defunct Computernerd...was reviewing articles on cooling solutions and found the info & articles here to be the best.

 

[DannyLove]

first year in college, when dorming, some dude name keith told me about hot deals, so i was a lurker, big time. i think i registered around early 2000, but i dont know what my acc name was, so i re-registered under this one so it was word of mouth and I was attracted by the HOT DEALS

danny~!

 

[LanEvoVI]

I used to make fun of my friend for spending all of his time posting here...

Now I'm the one addicted to the AT forums...go figure.

 

[Jeffwo]

Saw it on the Screensavers/Tech TV.

I dated FFMCobalt starting around the time he joined and after hearing about this place from him and 1967MustangMan and ViperGTS, who are both really good friends of mine, I decided to come over and check it out.

Got addicted for a while, then didn't have a whole lot of internet access. FFMCobalt came down here for a week and kept using my computer to check the forums and alas I was readdicted. I think I'm stuck for life. Now if someone would only give me a subscription......

 

[erikiksaz]

I was surfing Techbargains, and they kept mentioning Anandtech as a deal haven, so i emigrated.

 

[Kanalua]

I was on Bens Bargains and there was a link to some guy who sends out email notices of Hot Deals. would respond to the Anandtech links, and soon was perusing the OT as well....

 

[ShawnReeves]

I heard about it from someone from Ebay. I Won the auction and somehow they told me I should check out anandtech.com
Damn I wish I could remember who told me so I could give them a HUGE thank you! I have saved thousands of dollars here in the past couple years.

 

[WTT0001]

It was from tom's hardware. I don't know how I got there but when the big P3 1.3 fiasco occured he mentioned Anand so I came on over and It has been my favorite out of the 3 (Sharky was there) ever since.

 

[NeoMadHatter]

don't remember exactly, but it was some sort of search.

<--- damn bad memory.

 

[Saltin]

It popped-up while I was surfing Pron.

 

[iamshady]

Hot Deals! Not only has ATOT become an obsession, ATHD made me broke! Damn you all!:Q

 

[Geekbabe]

I can't remember exactly...
