Nah, if you want to see junk, you have to ask for it.

Forget ask ... you gotta pay!

 

[SeaSerpent]

20 years is a long time..

 

[Kaido]

16 years official for me, longer than that lurking. Took me awhile to build up the confidence to post in ATOT. But that's back when every refresh had new posts haha.

 

[highland145]

Lurked deals in the late 90's. Never had an interest in the forums.

Look at me now.

Do they ask you who you were before you died in ATOT Afterlife?

 

[JulesMaximus]

I like to think he still has a self built PC at home.

He's a Mac user now.

 

[nakedfrog]

Prolly in some junk drawer...dead battery and all.

Sorting cables last week and found one I didn't know...ipod.

I replaced the battery in mine a few years ago. I bought it from the FS/FT forum here back in 2007 or so

Have the mods' permaban buttons been broken that long?

I'm still rocking a 2500k and GTX580 at home. Just been using a Surface 4 and my iPad to do things these days.

I use a laptop for all of my computer needs these days. I use my iPad for everything else.

man my 2500k OC'd so well that it lasted for 8 years

 

[AnitaPeterson]

Hey, I'm typing this on a 2500K rig... get off my lawn, damn kids!

LOL, I ran mine daily around 4.4GHz for a few years, until I realized how much power the damn thing was using for no reason. I'd like to change it out for something more modern, but damn, I'd have to buy a new motherboard, cpu, ram and video card...in a mini-itx form factor because my wife won't like me having a real desktop.

I still have a core2duo based machine running. Recently retired a core2quad by virtualizing it. I can't afford to build new systems like I could ~10 years ago so most of my stuff is pretty old by today's standards.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Are you suggesting that's amdhunter and he should be cracking the whip on that CPU despite the electrical bill?

dude, you live off of snow melt and beaver meat and pinecones, and apparently in a remote neighborhood of rural Canada that is mostly thieving meth-heads if your posts are to be believed, so I can't imagine life is at all expensive for you.

pure BS you can't afford these things.

Costs of living keep going up. Property taxes, water bill, insurance, hydro etc... it all adds up and keeps going up every year. I've actually been thinking about buying off grid property because it would be cheaper as there would be hardly no bills. Getting too expensive to live in town because of all the bills, and high taxes. Just need to figure out a source of income if I was to actually live there as it would be too far to keep my current job.

I could technically afford to build new systems if I used the credit line but the stuff I have works fine.

Buying my truck last year for like 14k was also a mistake, I bought it wanting a better way to haul building materials for projects, and also I needed something capable of going on bush roads, but... for way cheaper than 14k I could have just got a car and trailer. So still trying to pay that off.

hell is basically real life but with no ATOT

Are you sure it isn't the other way round?

[amdhunter]

Tell me about it. We got rid of my desk, computer chair and all the "spare" computer parts I had lying around. The apartment is much cleaner, but sometimes I miss playing a FPS and sitting in my undies looking out my window from my desk...lol
