I originally joined TF (back in 03!) because I had just gotten the first computer that was mine and not a family/shared computer. I had alot of questions about technology and they were all answered quickly and friendly. I only stay here because I am a technology enthusiast. I think technology is going to be a lifetime hobby for me So why leave a terrific community of people with the same kind of enthusiasm? But I really don't see the problem with members who come just to ask questions and leave. At least they'll have their username if they ever have another question.
I came here because I knew almost nothing about computers and I had just built one with the help of my friend. I have stayed here and tried to help people but I am still learning.
wow...same for me and i have also gained a lot of friends here...like you Trotter ... i'm probably not very respected around here because i don't answer a whole lot of questions...but thats because i don't know the answer to them..but i have learned so much this past year and i am going to continue to stay and learn so i can help others!
Thank the lord for folks like you mooseman. Too many people post when they shoulda just shut the F up. They dont have anything to say when they do talk or they just parrot someone else. Thanks for nothin morons.
