It's coming to ten years on this forum...

Time goes fast when you're getting old because you finally realise it is the only thing that matters money can't buy you more and your stocks are getting lower by the day!
 
I remember posting the same thing when my 10 years came up last year ... some things you look back on and think its scary .

I've got 8 and a half years on hotukdeals which is bonkers lol .
 
I think someone once explained it as when you are older a year is less of a proportion to the time you've lived therefore it feels like time is going quicker.
 
Its quite unreal when I look back over it. I joined OCUK before the whole nuke. I was a teenager back then. To think I'm now over 30 and still here is pretty crazy.
 
*waves stick at thread*

Youngsters, I remember when this was all Black and Red, with guns a plenty and you weren't a real man unless you'd overclocked a Celeron to twice it's rated speed or an Athlon to 50%+ of it's speed.
When men were men, cases were real cases, and Delta Screamer case fans would take an unwary system builders finger off.
Many are the veterans who are still missing the tip of a finger and regale their grand kids with tales of the vampire cases around a (very briefly) glowing Thunderbird core!


*waves stick again*

Oh yeah and get orf my lawn!

Slightly more seriously, it's scary when you realise how much time you've been on something like these forums (I'm at about 16 years now I think!).
But the vampire cases was true - you rarely see them know, but right up till the 00's it was common to get cases where they had ragged edges on the pressed metal. Elastoplast was a must in your PC tool kit.
