So I've been posting on these forums for 10 years

[Stretch]

I wish I'd known about this place then I didn't come to this site until 2005, and it wasn't until 2008 I realised there was a forum!

I remember the first time I found the well hidden forum link. It was like I'd just stepped into the wardrobe.

Still took me a good few months to sign up for an account to post the ubiquitous "help, how do I???" first thread.

Yup pretty much same us you Rotty 300A and the Abit BP6 (SMP), ah those were the days!

I loved the BP6 with 400's@600 that I ran for ages.

Some graphics cards were just as expensive then as they are now.

Yeah, such a great board.

I get really hazy about when I joined... It was pre-nuke, and I seem to think I had been around for a while before, do I correctly recall a nuke previous to the 2002 one too?

I know, but if you look at what graphics cards can do now, and what they were like back then, you can see how much technology has advanced.

PC hardware was still much more expensive back then to what it is now.

£300 for a 60GB Hard drive! And people complain about paying £100 for a 60GB SSD!


I would have loved to be my age back then and watch as technology transformed!

 

[Biohazard]

I stalked the old board like a bad smell!

Loved the old SC with the posters long gone, try as I might I'd always get argumentativley skewered to the wall. Was only 15-16 mind you.

When I forst joined the tool of choice were twin Celeron 300s

That was my first purchase from OCUK along with an Abit BP6

The Big Hack. A few months earlier IIRC. I've been here since around August 2000, and I remember at least two occasions when the post counts got reset.
