Why did you join Anandtech?

Page 2 - Seeking answers? Join the AnandTech community: where nearly half-a-million members share solutions and discuss the latest tech.
Used to read reviews on the main site, just decided to check out the forums one day and started off here in OT.

Here I am today over 3 years later.

So... Why did you join? For me, it was because I needed help putting my first computer together.

Not sure if this is a repost, but I searched(not that that means anything) and couldn't find anything.

same exact reason as you
actually...here is my first post

edit..and my name is not Anil. I was paranoid back then that this forum is full of hackers and if i gave my real name away, they would hack my computer 😛
 
i built my first computer in 2002 from a google search that led to Tom's hardware. they had some links to the site. for a couple of years i just read the articles. then i saw the forums and registered. didn't post for nearly a year. then finally had some time as well as full internet access and started posting. have been hooked ever since.
 
Late in 2001, I was converting from Mac, and wanted to build my first pc.

I was browsing forums, and came across anandtech. I liked the people in the hardware forums, and so I stayed.
I found ATOT soon after, and I was hooked.

I had mostly lurked (low postcount), so I wasn't too worried about it when my account got lost in a forum software upgrade.

FWIW, that old P4 2.26 system still runs as stable as it did new. 🙂
 
IIRC it was because I was having trouble with my Asus GeForce DDR card. I ended up selling it to someone here who promptly cooked it through overclocking.
 
Had this question about Windows XP Pro and Media Center Edition. Then, I ventured into Politics & News - gave up after 5-6 posts.

Now, I just offer suggestions to people looking to build new rigs. I rarely start threads because I get all my answers from reading other people's threads. Occasionally, I nef here in OT to increase my post count.
 
I lurked about here for sometime before I made my first post. Bored surfing at work one day lead to me a local punk's personal page where he reviewed motherboards. I think he has since moved out of his parent's house.
😉
 
I actually heard about it when I was just getting into computers. I joined the forums because I went to work for @Home and was able to offer a lot of information in the networking and technical support forums. I only came into off topic (and later P&N) when I was out of the business and so had nothing else to do here. 😎
