Thank you to everyone on TPU

SerenadeRB · Jun 30, 2008

I've been on the TPU forums for over a year now and I can't even relate the amount of help its brought. The people are always up to date with the latest technologies (and sometimes even future ones somehow?) When I build my first rig, it's natural I looked on the TPU forums for help and found it. I decided to create an account to be part of the community that has been helping me with my computer problems since late '06.

Just saying thanks to everyone that has asked, answered, and spoken, because every little bit of information helps someone viewing the forums.

You guys rock!

You're welcome. Hopefully you'll stick around, gain knowledge, and pass it on to others. That's what it's all about.

guest, visitor reading the posts - one does not need to have an account to read posts here :toast:

ElWapo973 · Jun 30, 2008

+1 Heck, I lurked for around 6 months before ever registering(a great deal in the B/S/T forums finally did me in). Even now I usually don't post too often unless I feel I have something helpful/interesting/funny to contribute to the threads. :toast:

Although I don't remember ever helping you in particular, it is much appreciated and note we will continue to be here for you whenever you need us. Thanks.

SerenadeRB · Jul 1, 2008

Your welcome; and no I never asked for help, I just created an account, but reading all of the posts and stickies taught me a lot about computers.
Especially A Beginner's Guide to Overclocking: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=22916 , and recently the ATI/Nvidia rivalry. I was convinced to go AMD, and I was surprised as I was a huge Nvidia fanboy, but I made the switch.
Making Crossfire Work and Optimization: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=51219 , helped me get both drivers to install on XP.

Anything I can help with I definitely will!

Nitro-Max · Jul 1, 2008

wolf · Jul 1, 2008

+1, and thankyou for the kind words to our members.

for the most part, i would say that Techpowerup has the best member base of any tech forum.

we have a lot of opinions here too, which means some really good and in-depth discussions about every facet of the hardware in question.

not to mention some Very knowledgeable members. all in all, the best forum i have ever subscribed to!

trt740 · Jul 1, 2008

welcome this is hands down the best forum then Extreme systems, a close second.

psyko12 · Jul 1, 2008

Wow, welcome mate, this tech forum is like my 2nd home in learning about new tech, problem solving, and ocing :rockout:

ShadowFold · Jul 1, 2008

I come for questions, news, reviews, downloads, and helping others! I freakin love this site!

SerenadeRB · Jul 1, 2008

The only bad thing is when I really start reading reviews and posts I wind up killing like 3 hours and not realizing until my boss calls me that I'm late

Everything has its price.

hahahahaha, i think that has happened to most of us at one point or the other hehe.

dark2099 · Jul 1, 2008

Yea, I have been cutting it close getting to work, even been late a couple of times lately from staying up too late on here then checking stuff out in the morning before work. Glad that you have been able to find help here, welcome to our wonderful (and some times twisted, but without that it wouldn't be fun) community. Enjoy your stay!

wolf · Jul 1, 2008

farlex85 · Jul 1, 2008

Here on the TPU forums we work like the Borg, when one of us learns something it spreads and we all learn it. Collective thought FTW.
