Dang, I'm a couple days late, but wow. I'm shocked yet not surprised at all. I've been lurking/reading/posting here since 2001, so that's 23 years now? Over half my life. I've learned so much, not only just from this site, but also many of you on these forums, and for that, I really appreciate you. Be good, everyone.

It's too bad that you can't really screw much with cell phones. That would have made a good transition for the site.

I'm going start a site for gauntlet-based singularity.

Mmm, maybe not.

it's fun reading back on this thread and seeing all the familiar names i used to chat with back in the days. Been here since 2001 to research my first PC build (like many others). Got hooked on the in depth tech articles and then OT. Took a hiatus in the late 2010s and now just browse P&N mostly. I will miss these forums when it too eventually goes. Lots of good memories from this place!

My first post

building new comp

Hey guys, I'm just entering this world of building computers. Thus far, I've been running on a Pentium MMX 233 (I know i know, laugh all you want, but so far i've been held back by financial issues). well, now i finally got some dough in my pocket and decided to get a new comp. as any other...

forums.anandtech.com

And the last thread I started

Lugguh-lugguh-lugguh-lugguh-lugguh-lugguh-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-lugguluh

hi all. been a while That is all

My 25th year on this iteration of the forum is coming up Oct. 9th. Been here a couple years prior to that with the K6-2 and Celeron 300A days. Basically, the beginning.

stopped frequenting the forums because gpus was my jam and Wreckage used to spam his nvidia zealotry all over the place. simpler times.

also, kinda makes sense that guys like Rossman were lurking here. wonder which other big names had their early days in here

Holy crap...Wreckage...now there's a name from the past.

Just saw the article on ArsTechnica. Still enjoy lurking occasionally on the forums, and would hate to see them die

I did propose a new forum. Already have one running on a dedicated server.
