I'd like to say hello, I am of the generation of Snapchat and Discord so forums seem like a strange relic to me but I'm sure ill enjoy my stay.

Just remember that if you post pictures of your PCIE cables it wont disappear after 20 seconds and you will be fine.

Learn from us young one. Discord will disappear after the Microsoft purchase and yet the fora shalt abide!

Anyway - welcome mate, glad to have you on board

I have missed forums. I can't stand social media and all its bs. Forums were a simpler time. It's nice to be back on one.

Yeah, the black box that controls what you see on most social media is optimised for watch time and interactions, this inadvertently causes toxic topics to be front and centre as it gains a lot of watch time and interactions. But still, forums can create echo chambers just as toxic, you only get into those echo chambers if you want to be there unlike most social media. But it is fun looking at the black box and what it thinks you are, apparently google thought I was 42 despite knowing my age. :cry:
