We do it for different reasons.
Some surf the forums for informational purposes, trying desperately to find a fix to a problem. Others to research a technology before procurement. Some troll the forums to find a topic on which to exude their knowledge, oftentimes creating bittersweet controversy with their rhetoric.
As we post our specs, test results, tweaks, and tips, do we stop and take a good look at ourselves? Like little boys, we show off our new toys, and beg for new ones. Ten or so years ago, the bunch of us would be classified as bigtime computer nerds. Now, we're "hobbyists." Like the redneck down the street with the chromed out muscle car in the garage, we pimp out a box.
Who has this much damn free time? What's the return? What else are we doing with our lives? Do we get laid? I know I do. But I still come back to Anandtech. Why? Because my other bitch sits humming at my feet, begging me to tweak her just a little bit more. She runs hot, and she loves it.
What makes you tick. Why do you do it? What are you fighting for?
