    I was just sitting at work reminiscing and I was messing around in my g3d profile and I saw ive been here since 2004! Then I remembered how before I had lunch i'd hop in the forum and check it out. That was my freshman year of high school!! And I was thinking how much my life has changed, what I've lost.. What I've accomplished and gained!!! Crazy memories I've shared here on the G3D forum and I'm not really an online socializer except for G3D and facebook, so I'm pretty consolidated on the internet I guess.. lol this is what I posted in 2005!!

    haha I asked what are newsgroups! now I repair pc's for a living lol! I've basically learned my life trade here on G3D (aside from being a poli sci major then I will try and join the world of politics.. a good one dont worry!) crazy stuff I've learned on here..

    so how long have you guys been here? and what if anything have you learned

    That really was a noob question! [/kidding] LOL ..Just playing with ya man. :D

    Umm, I've been here like a year or so. I know that unregistered reading doesn't count. If it did, I'd have been here for 3.5 years or so.

    I must admit it is quite interesting to stop and reflect on what has changed in life since the first trolling of guru3D years ago.


    Unfortunately the main trend for me is going to university and having much less time than ever to game; when I first signed up I would spend hours per day, now it seems to be more a few hours a fortnight :( Harder to justify spending on hardware, even though work means I actually have more money than before!

    I'm currently researching management academic journals, great fun.


    I actually find the forums pretty good at learning to discuss issues with others over the internet and not getting angry at those who disagree with you!

    July of 2004 apparantly. Though i didnt visit much until the past couple of years.
    The big question is, Why did we come here and join? I don't remember, probably had an issue and crossed this site from google or something.

    Oh my God I have no time to play counter-strike anymore.. That's all I used to do.. Didn't do **** but play cs and talk **** in cs haha! I do miss gaming a lot but its really not what it used to be anymore I guess. Now in my free time I rather do a little drinking and go out or do something stupid and boring like watching movies than game! I guess with age it doesn't really appeal to me as much as it used to, I could care less about my kd ratio now a days..


    I've also picked up a little chess though, I've gotten 1,000 times better than when I first started and I'm pretty decent now. We should get a chess tourney going on!

    Yeah I found I just stopped caring about competitive games, and the games I did play were those which were a bit different such as TF2, where you could just go ahead and play and have fun, not caring about position on a leaderboard.

    With a combination of uni work, 'real' work and just living life generally I just don't have time to game. Gaming less has made my life for the better overall but I'm currently at the point where I've gone the other way...too much work and not enough chance to just relax with a game!

    '05. I came here looking to do some research on some parts and I totally found all the answers (and more). I originally had the username 'Drakazar' after my Dark Elf character in Warhammer (NERD ALERT :p) but changed to 'anticitizen013' since that's my email as well as all my other usernames on the internet. If I had a home on the internet, this would be it.

    I was such a noob. I was looking at buying a new P4 based PC and I wanted to know why the latest CPUs didn't have HT, ie: Core2.

    I ended up buying an E6700. :D

    Thx G3D.
