It is a little more laid back here but what I like is the friendly environment here. I still have my membership at XS but I just refuse to use it because of my own personal reasons. I still like the people there. They are a great pack of people as well and the Water Cooling community there is second to none on the net. XS has it's place just like this site has it's place as well. I like it here and I came back here when I left XS because I remembered when XS was down and this site provided a place for us to go and even set up a XS refugee camp.
I still like to spend a lot of money when I have it and yeah threw a few breakers in my time but that was part of the fun. We did/do that because it is fun. I love to create and make new builds. My next one is going to be a doozie and will be revealed only when it's done. Let's just say it is going to put a whole new meaning to the stoners club!
What I wanted to do coming back here is to get back to helping people. At XS we spend so much time with manufacturer politics and sometimes we forgot to help the new guy coming in because we did not want to repeat for the thousandth time that yes clamps work good or not to use a mixed cocktail and to use distilled water with a bioside instead. Many of us were/is also the crunchers of the site and setup rigs on a regular basis. Water cooled rigs are happy crunching rigs!
But what I missed is the helping just like I am here to give back what was given to me. I want to forget the manufacturer politics, I want to forget the BS ego's that forget others and I want to get back to helping people because it provides the best environments to learn and grow. Very hard to grow in a place when everyone knows everything.
