No I wasn't.
I went in on the first day at around 5pm and I didn't know the owner.
I bought a Teac 4x CD writer, a SCSI card plus 10 blank disks.

Get your facts right

I really don't care but it's amusing

Dec 2003 for me. Almost 10 years and still only 1400 posts - I clearly need to open more pointless threads in GD

Mr Gimp · 31 Jul 2013 at 21:21

Used the shop before signing up, but been here a while now. Definitely more of a lurker!

D.P. · 31 Jul 2013 at 21:21

I joined in 2000

No idea...

7 years ago.

Same time as I brought a AMD Axia thunderbird bundle, proper overclocking. Before the forum nuke...

Rybo89 · 31 Jul 2013 at 21:35

Lurked around 2005, joined 2007... Know nothing about computers as they do not interest me in the slightest.

Most people have Facebook, i have OcUK Motors. Always reading something about cars. Sometimes maybe pop into GD and see what the nutters are posting.

Dunno let's look, October 2002.... as here well before the wipe though, good ol' CS 1.6 OcUK team days

Member 83?

uocuk was were it was at

Sure I've lived through 2 nukes but cant remember when i actually joined, most likely 2000ish though!

I joined up back in the last millennium

It must have been 1999 because I can remember paying far to much to import a Celeron 366@750 from the US and then finding that I could have bought from OcUK instead and saved some money.

I signed up to the forums when I had problems getting the CPU running stable and it went from there

Why are you smiling at a poster telling downright dirty rotten porky lies?
(or an embellishment of the truth at least).

Trolling or explaining :confused:

Oh the old Dimple come back of turning it round and it's all a big wind up!

We laugh at you, not with you

Dimple was the first one in the shop..... he took some blank dvds back as he only had a cd burner.

NVP · 31 Jul 2013 at 21:57

Had been going to ocuk a long time before I joined the forum while I was at Keele, didn't even know about the forum till my last year when my friend introduced me 'cause I needed some tech help, then the addiction kicked in and I've never been the same since.

Edrof · 31 Jul 2013 at 21:57

Wow, Dimple was the first in the shop. Pretty radical. Knew the owners. Must remember this for next month's old timer thread.

oldbag · 31 Jul 2013 at 21:58

<< I joined then.

SpeedFreak · 31 Jul 2013 at 21:58

Pre-nuke, probably 2000 or before I guess.

I was probably the first customer through the doors of Millennium Computers when there was Pete his wife and his Dad running it. Two different units later, a name change to Overclockers, I made my usual 3rd visit of the week and asked Pete a question and he said "You ought to ask that on the forums"
"WHAT FORUMS?"
