2003 here. I'm not 100% sure how I ended up here but I believe it had something to do with Battlefield Vietnam.
Bah, I was going to call you a newbie but turns out that you have been here more than 10 years. You: Jul 4, 2006 Me: Nov 30, 2006
9 years for me. Doesn't seem like it's been that long. I remember the good old days of coveting a 7800GT, lol. And those nasty FX-53 setups people had on here.
14 years here. Hilbert's still here though Anand has left Anandtech, Tom has left Tom's....time flies, and the Web changes. "member Chewbacca?" ......... LOL
I initially joined when i first got into making custom PCs around 2001 but then rejoined in 2012 when i couldn't find my log in or PW. Not been very active on this account as work has meant new projects have been few and far between.
a couple of months or so. First forums I joined was probably in the late 90's. Anandtech was probably around that time and PCpitstop used to be a very active community, it's on life support now though. I used to have an account on here from many years ago but was long lost, probably from swapping emails and forgetting passwords. I think my first account here was Xrc6 or it may have been Dcyphure or Doom_machine....been too long to remember and I use a different username for every account I sign up for anyway which doesn't help either.
Was aware of G3D since 2002 and knew it was the place to go for anything GPU related. Joined couple years after that when looking for something to replace my Ti 4200. Virtually anyone looking for anything GPU related in those years was bound to run into G3D at some point.
