I, for one, wish to "Thank You" for all you (W1zzard, Staff, Mods (all varieties) and the little elves) do, and what you put up with, to keep everything running in the great manner you do.

Some, here, may not think this; however, I believe many members do think this... that you (all) provide a wonderful service to the whole internet... and, a place many, probably, call home in this digital world.

Again, Thank You.

I used to really love this site, and even had the privilege of doing some moderating for some time. I was thinking about making a new system, so I visited Newegg, and saw "TechPowerUp! Editor Approved" or something similar. So of course I thought, "I remember those guys!"

It amazes me, it has been ten years since I first found TPU and it pleases me to no end to see the site surviving and thriving and so many familiar faces still hanging around in the staff and population.

I may not be a part of this scene any more, but it brought a smile and fond memories to mind to see you guys are still around.

Thanks W1zz and everyone else who has worked so hard to make this site the excellent place for people to come and learn, share experiences and find camaraderie!

@95Viper: Well-said! Despite occasional run ins and disagreements we all have from time to time, this is a great community!

This is the place I settled on amongst all the forums back in 2008, and I imagine I'll be here in another 7 years!

Good job, W1zz, mods and regular posters, I tip my hat for you.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
Funny how this place migrated from a site I visited when I had a problem to one I pulled up for news to eventually my home page. To steal a quite from Tron, I rather like the idea of us "fighting for the user." Its a great community I like the staff I like the members and I find it an enjoyable place to learn. I've even recommended several people to the site to ask questions when i'm not available. Or to simply learn only because I was so confident in the communities understanding and giving nature. It really is in a league all its own.
