Yeh same here, I was just searching google for general computer information and up came tech-forums. I filtered through the forums and then made the good decision of registering.
I was a member at another forum but they sold the domain (hackers.com) and the forums went bye bye. I really enjoyed the forum environment so I decided to search around for a good forum to join... I googled and out of all the junk that I got, this is the one that stood out.
I'm an ol' timer (as MicroBell keeps telling me) that started here a couple of weeks after it was first started. A friend, Tim, introduced me to Chopper, so I chose the "friend told me about it" on the poll.
