I've just been buying stuff from here for a few years and decided it might be time to interact with some experts!

The "Post your GF" Thread probably made a huge impact on the member count!

RandomTom found it and I followed him in.

They attracted us with cookies and milk...

They smeered mustard all over the server.

Looking for info and wanted to contribute so signed up!

I have no idea how I found them. I have little to no interest in computer hardware. I've never really looked into buying bits I think. I knew no-one on the boards previously. So I honestly cannot remember how I found them.

Had been buying from OcUK for years and noticed the forum link while I was browsing the site one day.

you come for the hardware advice, you stay to teach morons how to cook eggs/debate hittability/face up to the deceitful nature of organised religion/decide whether or not a mondeo really is the right car for them!

I have a foul image in my head of Scuzi for some reason smeared in mustard and rubbing himself all over a beige PC box. With a Leprechaun hat on.

Joined because i wanted advice on a new spec. Managed to break a few rules with my first post though

Begbie · 1 Oct 2008 at 11:41

I ordered my first build from here, a boy at school reccomended it. Noticed the forums and asked for advice. Here I am!

I was googling for advice on hair loss and ended up here

I'm now addicted to the crack though

Found it by chance when looking through sites on the net

I used to be a moderator at theoverclockingstore when it existed, and found out about here from there.

I bought lots of bits from the shop and noticed the forum. Lurked in the background for a while, and this forum is better than most. Lots of grownup conversations, helpful, knowledgeable posters, plus its has some british humour with plenty of moaning about how crap everything is.
