Once I could no longer use my posistion as a DEA consultant to keep the-hive.ws and Rhodium out of trouble, the CEO of thier ISP decided that wasn't the kind of website he wanted on his servers, so it was shut down. I needed a new forum to haunt, so I found this one. Addicted? I can quit anytime I want! My first post? I have no clue anymore. It was in GH.

Regularly? Probably Video and General Hardware about a year ago. I've been reading/lurking on ATOT for at least three years though. Haven't started posting/neffing here until relatively recently. :p

I found AT while searching for answers to bios questions. I read lots of articles and posts before I ever registered.
I usually come around to nef, look for stuff to buy, and get my news.

I was looking for a computer to build in 2003, and wanted to see what parts were the best bang for the buck. A Google search for "9600 pro benchmarks" had Anandtech as one of the first results.

I was searching for some mobo info (via mvp3 days). I bought a board based on THIS review. I loved the board and became a reader ever since. It took a year to get me into the forums though.

I think I heard about this place from Tom's Hardware. I lurked and watched the drama unfold here in OT for a couple years. Then I joined a month ago, strictly to post in OT. Made a couple posts in hardware and software so far.

Firstly when i was looking to buy my gfx card (9800 pro was the recommendation for top end then ;) )early middle of last year.

Then joined the forums in november i think, after being banned from an Australian forum after a gigantic Farcry vs d3 thread got especially toasty and out of control ;)

First post was probably in Video, but these days it's full of pimply little asshats who wont shut up about sm3.0 so OT and a little CPU action ;)

Had a friend that's really into computers and myself being interested too had to join. I got addicted almost instantly.

I was looking for a video card. I was addicted to the Video forum for quite a will before branching my addiction out to other catagories. And then I stopped caring about my computer so much because there weren't any good games out, and now I stand before you ATOT for life.

bleh I'm still upset they got rid of the original boards back in late 1999.

I swore I'd never rejoin...but after a few months I caved in.

Special place here.

EDIT: I think it was 1998 when I was in a thread over at AGN (no longer exists) that linked over to some lowly site named anandtech....I HAD to join to resond in the thread.....several hundred members only at that time.
