10 + Years on TPU? Wow...

Drash · Jul 19, 2016

Sempron 3400 something and an ATI 9800 gfx card. Gamed like a champ.I think, so long ago I've purged all my electronic info and my memory isn't getting any better. Lasted 'til i got my E8400, then jumped straight to 6700K. THAT was an upgrade!!!!

Probably still got the original RAM, whatever it was. You never know when you need some old RAM - printer upgrade or an old test PC at work throws a fit and the IT young 'un looks blank when you ask if there are any spare IDE HDs, or a mobo with <insert obsolete interface here>. Lol!

Well it's official I'm old now.

rtwjunkie · Jul 25, 2016

Today is my 8 year anniversary on TPU. Only 730 more days to go. :ohwell:

Easy to say that when you are not old

I may never see 10 years here, but I do enjoy the time that I spend here. This is one of the best places to relax and learn.

Grats to everyone who's having some anniversary on this site. There are so many bullshit sites on the internet calling themselves 'techies', 'nerds', 'geeks' , 'experts' and so on. TPU is the most down to Earth and practical site. No compliments just the truth.

That's why we have this button --> :lovetpu:

It's honestly why I stick around here. There's some pretty fantastic communities here, the WCG and F@H ones especially.

I've been here a long time too. But I don't think its been 10 years yet.

Well, yeah, you have the "Long Service" tag.

Feb 24, 2006, to now is well over 10 years man.

Easy Rhino · Oct 29, 2016

I am coming up on my 10 years. Crazy!

Kursah · Oct 29, 2016

Damn my 10 years came and went recently and I didn't even notice LOL! Too busy doing what I do around here to notice I guess. It's so awesome to see so many familiar names around here, still doing what made this place great 10 years ago. :toast:

Coming up on mine shortly. :toast:

Been there, done that, now where do I buy the T-shirt?

While it may seem to be in jest, I really do want a t-shirt with the badge on it!

Most of it was likely when you turned to vapor and disappeared from doing cool thinks like volt modding my X850XT

cdawall · Oct 30, 2016

It has been down for a long time, but we didn't have these stinking badges then anyways!

It wasn't derogatory, just a play on an old movie I once saw....
