Do you actually wear tampons?? Ummmm, nevermind, don't answer that.

Not that I'm aware of, I'm not sure if you know but MyTampons is the unofficial name for the absolute WORST deals web site out there (MyCoupons.com)

<< I was at Mycoupons.com and I was reading a thread. In the thread it said that people here were mean. (I'm not sure if it said mean to newbies or just mean. lol) So, I wanted to see for myself. I've been here ever since. >>




So do you think people here are mean????


I started reading the hardware reviews here, then needed help overclocking a processor. That's why I started using the forum.

Hot Deals (got cool stuff) => General Hardware Forum (needed help on all the cool stuff I got from Hot Deals) => Off Topic (where I go in between posts in the General Hardware Forum)

I was reading through Swedish forums awhile back and was asking about something when I got a link to Anandtech's main site. I immediately realized this was a pure quality review page and the step into the forums wasn't long.

I don't really post much but read almost all of them, everyday. Feels like you belong to a great big family, which is a feeling I haven't experienced anywhere else on other forums.

Stumbled across this forum while surfing and the style impressed me first plus the content and knowledge level of many of the members was impressive, not too much b.s.-most of the time.

Same as most. I was shopping for a new puter and started hanging around in the Hardware Forum. One day a post in that forum talked about some topic in OT that sounded interesting so I went and checked it out. Been here ever since.

I had started visiting anandtech to read up on some stuff...
then I saw &quot;forums&quot; so I went there.....and saw &quot;For sale and trade&quot; and I thought I'd look around...I ended up buying something then decided to sell all my old junk. and I've been here ever since

First I discovered the page to read about overclocking. Then I got to the forums to ask questions regarding overclocking celerons and stuff. Didn't post much after I had gotten the help and ordered the parts and assembled the computer. Then I came back on just to learn more. Now I'm reading posts and replying trying to help other people.

I initially joined to get feedback on &quot;what's hot &amp; what's not&quot; when I was building my first PC. :)

I joined so I could post &quot;YGM&quot; to sellers in the forsale/trade forums :)

There's alot of great deals there but the competition is insane, people buy stuff like the minute it's posted etc... alot has changed

When I joined a long time ago, Anandtech hot deals used to be at a much higher caliber. Now I have resorted to this forum

I had some computer problems so I joined and asked.

Later I started posting lots more in GHW, then a bit in OT....then I left for a bit, and am back now only posting in OT.

I forget, it was at least 3 years ago. I remember hitting tomshardware and sharkyextreme back then, but I've since abandoned them. Now I stick around because of the awesome Hot Deals forum :)
