I came one time to check on the hot deals forum as an advice from a friend. I seriously became hooked in the hot deals thread and spent every penny i had. Now I try to make some back in the For/Sale forum. Still come to off topic cuz you some of these threads are wayyy out there and its fun :)

I had a modem and ...something else to get rid of. Viper GTS was like "go sell them on Anandtech" and I was like "what'd you just call me?"

So I did, and I've been pissing people off ever since.

Followed some link, dont remember where it was. Started reading the articles and after a month or so I found out there's also forums :confused:

First I only read GH but after some time I found my way to ATOT and became addicted after one time...

The FS/FT Forum

I spent my days over at AGN but then their forum was down so I came over here.

The good old days of deals like the Hitachi monitor from Buy.com, Value America, Mobshop. Before there was a Hot Deals forum.

I first learned about RC5, and found a forum on Sysopt. Then, there was a link to AT, and I have been hooked ever since.

I was looking into building my pc rather than buying one, so I was watching TechTV one night and they mentioned this place for hardware reviews. So I came and got lots of help in these forums. Then I noticed the hot deals forum and worked my way over here.

a long time ago to the hot deals. I was first a lurker, just checking the good stuff, then i registered and I totally don't know what my handle was back then. Then I left AT for a while and came back to the Hot Deals around Jan of this year, Long and Behold I discovered my place to dwell, ATOT :D

Hot deals forum probably. I remember first coming over, reading the threads on how to plunder Value America as much as possible. Boy, those were the days!

Decided to build my own PC and was scared sh!tless about doing it. I was searching/surfing the net, looking for "how-to-build-a-PC" guides, and followed a link to AT. I've learned so much on these forums, and made a few friends in the process. :)
