[Semidevil]

So what was the main discussion when you first signed on for the forums?

When I first signed on, the craze was about the Voodoo video cards. 128meg baby....and the Soudblaster live....so many threads were posted about it.....

what about you guys? what was the craze in either forums, when you first joined?

I saw OMGWTFBBQ well before August of 2004. Sometime earlier in the year it started getting used a lot.

when i first started lurking, the 1GHz AMD Thunderbirds were all the rage, when i finially registered it was the 1.2-1.4GHz T-Birds Over Clocking to 1.6-1.8GHz with the pencil trick that was the rage, i just sold the last one of thoes i had also

 

[Sluggo]

Hmmmm, probably the awesome overclockability of the P3 700

Could have been the P3 550

One of those two.

 

[Nebor]

Some guy was posting about working for ATI and how amazing the pencils were there. I've posted a lot since then.

I can't recall for sure...sometime around, but before 'omgaieeeeaieenooo!'

Also, I was fairly new when the post about pouring water into one's computer came along.

I was in #athlon at that time - and not once did we EVER have a report of a 1.8GHz TBird. And it's not like it's some bumfvck nowhere IRC channel - in the past, it played host to icons at the caliber of EnVaDoR and Unaclockr.

That would be why - mainstream IRC has never accepted overclocking with obscene cooling methods.

When I joined it was P2 and Super Socket 7 boards and cpu's. Not much time later I witnessed the K6-3 vs P3 battles and the Epox MVP3 G-M vs the competition for the greatest SS7 board of all time (Epox MVP-G5).

Those were the good old days.
