What inspired you to join AT forums?

Wanted to sell my Wii on FS/FT and I thought this place was a nicer place than HardOCP.

I had a computer cooling problem and needed to know how many fans I should put in my case.

Then I was bored at work and ventured into ATOT...

Hot Deals.

Looking for answers in all the wrong places.

And now you're the fucking admin.
Beautiful!

It appears as though you still haven't figured out how to remove the sand from your vagina.

I wanted to build a new pc, signed up to ask questions for some help. I came back not to long ago looking for more computer help due to wanting to upgrade and saw other forums here I had not noticed in the past.

I just finsihed getting it together last night:

i7 860
Gigabyte-UD4P
XFX 4890
4 GB of G Skill
Antec 750W Blue

I am going to grab a new monitor soon (26" ASUS) and maybe another XFX 4890 for CF.

Needed a new router for home and came looking for network advice.

I heard that there were hot chicks in the forum. Still looking, only found a few. ()

Lurked for awhile but decided to register and give my input on a question that was asked.

Read about AnandTech in a book called Building PCs or something when I bought my first build in 98-99. Read the site, then found the harware forums somehow. Not sure how I noticed Off Topic and migrated there but I think it must have been boredom one night making me read all the forums in order.

I used to be a print magazine type of guy and I shit you not, I thought CNET was a website for hardcore computer enthusiasts. Then I chanced upon Anandtech and other sites that went beyond what PC World and CNEt had to offer - and it was easy to tell Anandtech was the best. And I figured if I had computer questions, I would have better luck here than the Computer section of Bolt.com's message boards (remember Bolt?). Then I discovered that while I was hot shit on Bolt.com, I wasn't quite as advanced as I thought compared to ATers.

Also, around the same time I was developing an interest in US politics and how Americans view the world. P&N seemed to have a lot of traffic and I found a lot of threads pretty interesting and educational (lol). I figured a forum full of well-educated computer professionals, college students and geeks would have a decent sampling of rational, open-minded and logical people.

And then I was inundated with the lulz.
