Eaglekeeper literally flew F15s

@alkemyst was an excellent source of jelly bro

Thinking back on it, I found this site before that. It is definitely what made me join the forums though.

Not certain if it was this board or the skt7 I had?

oh no kidding those Dell monitors.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

oh no kidding those Dell monitors.

Our Hot deals forum had a Dell P4 Northwood PC including a 15" LCD. I swapped CPUs since the Dell were better overclockers than the retail boxed I had. Then sold the PC for what I paid for the setup. Letting me keep the better CPU and LCD.

Hi.

 

[hzl eyed grl]

First time I visited AT I was looking to decide if it was worth springing for some "exotic" 133 mhz SDRAM over 100 mhz and fortunately I stumbled on Anand's review. (it wasn't worth the upgrade lol)

I started out "posting" in the comments section of the main website (lol) and signed up for the forums shortly afterwards but then I didn't post much for a while and my original account got borked. (or I spaced the password and fvcked it up myself!)

I think I was on some coupon forums, and a user had posted about this place and how mean the people were. I had to go see for myself. Lol The rest, as they say, is history. 😊

Any idea what happened there?

Do you remember More.com? They actually gave us a $20 credit every time we got a friend to sign up! Mothernature. com Vitamins .com …lol, UPS could have opened an office at my house 😂

I think we're generally less mean than we used to be!

Ah, the good old days. Sounds like Freeride and Mypoints. They both gave out points for doing things like signing up at new websites, that you could turn into gift cards.
Got free vitamins from mothernature and points at freeride at the same time.
I signed up for so many new accounts back then before the .com bubble burst. I was leary of giving out my full name, so just gave my first initial. To this day my amazon account still says: Hello, g!

 

[skyking]

We had throwaway accounts for all the signups.

I remember Compuwiz selling tons of guaranteed overclockable Celeron 366's. Those were the days
