I had a similar setup as well, but I was probably 6 or 7 so I only knew how to use the computer, not build it at the time which my dad did.

 

[DumbGuy]

I came from AGN3D too. No one liked Anandtech over there... hehe.

 

[Rent]

I was on AGN during its last couple of weeks. Went under the nick Velocity I think.

I doubt anyone would remember me, I don't post much as it is.

[Triumph]

Do I have to have some AGN history to post in this thread?

 

[Viperoni]

Bought my first thing through an online forum on AGN, a CL TNT2 Ultra from nexus_7

 

[kami]

I had approximately 700 posts when AT switched to Fusetalk in Oct. 1999, so I was here for a bit.

AGN3D ruled, I actually spell-checked some of Josh's articles before he posted them. That was a fun bunch of people on there, I can't believe it was so long ago.

 

[CTrain]

I pretty know much the whole history of AGN3D.

- Started when Jeremy Allford was with Operational 3dfx. He had a quable with a couple of guys and he decided to started AGN3D.
- It was pretty much Jeremy and another guy(Josh something I believe) who ran the site. After a while Josh was pretty much in charge cause Jeremy got sick.
- The Infamous Caputo tried to rip off Josh on a monitor and that was a big deal.
- It was Josh that started the For Sale forum and that forum became THE FOR SALE FORUM.
- AGN3D tried to do the LIVE video thing for a while and that failed.
- It was around this time when Jeremy got really sick and AGN died also. Don't really know what happenned to Josh.

- Not too many people know how Heatware got started.
Alot of the traders wanted some type of evaluation form and Heat volunteered to create some type of feedback.
On the help of Rage(it was actually Rage's brother who created the program) they created Heatware as as it is now.

Thats just from the top of my head.

You want favorite story ??

It was Airman. He staretd trading on AGN3D and racked up a bunch of positive feedbacks.
After that he took advantage of newbies by making them send first and then screwing them.
After a while, all the traders start attacking him including all the veteran traders too except for one, Red Dawn.

He started on AGN3D and migrated to AT.
Still don't know why Red always tried to protect him knowing how many people he screwed.

Anyone know what happenned to Airman ??
