1st post or 1st time ever going to the url www.techpowerup.com?

My 1st post was in the club forums as a joke.

1st time ever visiting the site was back in 05 (or was it 04?) when ATi 9500 softmodding was in.

Hardware Analysis got boring.

I felt compelled to create an account and post for the first time seeing some post I just had to respond to in programming...

I was building a PC for a friend, and I thought that this site looked like a good place to join for advice (it was at the top of Google's search ).

EDIT: 666th post, w00t!
I refuse to post any more posts until I can be bored of 666.
