I got this site while I was an active user at MadOnion.com. Was using the FS/FT section there and got into building PC's. Ran into some issues and somehow transitioned from MO to here. Way more technical site and a lot more users. Learned a ton about computer architecture.
Probably lurked for a year or more before joining.
Was just searching around for hardware reviews. This guy seemed to have his shit together.
I read for a couple years before finding the forums, then lurked for 2 more before joining.
I was in the market for a new PC back in 2003, and a friend had me check out a review for Athlon 64 cpu's on anandtech. I kept coming back ever since then. Lurked the forums for a very long time.
Was looking to do my first build and someone knowledgeable said read the AT general hardware forum for a week before you buy anything. Wandered over to OT somehow from there.
I was looking for a particular type of bridge camera made by Fujifilm. I was about 20 pages back on Google and found a guy selling one in FS forum but I didn't join the site or visit regularly till a few years later.
I read an article in Wall Street Journal about Mr. Anand and his successful web site. I was a programmer back then and stayed because there were some great folks here.
I read this article back when it was published. Being from NC myself I decided to check out Anand's website. Lurked on the forums for a long time before joining to post though.
