Occ Memmories....

[Sainou-Kun]

I just happen to glance at my member number and then go back to the main page and it stuck me how many members OCC now has.. "We have 13,841 registered members".. as of 2:14am dec 6th 2005. Ive been w. Occ for sometime now, and its the only tech form ive ever really liked. I Guess what Im askin is what mada ya join occ, whats your best memmory and what keeps you commin back? If youve only been with occ for less then a few months please only post on the joining part =P

Occ = best place for advice, i remember taking part in the 3dmark/aqua comps and tweaking my oc'd 2500 & 9800xt to within an inch of their lives to get higher than the 9800 crowd, i didnt get the best 9800 scores but that was cool.

has to be the MS Paint OCC Member portraits contest

 

man that was fun hehe

 

edit: also the 3200 Winchester OC battle between me and GregP24... man i froze my arse off getting my cpu temps in the teens in that very close battle... that was a lot of fun too

I don't really remember what brought me here, I think it was looking around for a cool forum where I could get some help with my computer questions and just a general hang-out when I had free time sort of place.

 

Here I am now, still posting after almost two years. Perhaps that means I'm addicted to OCC?

I actually found thise site a couple years ago searching for case mods and found the case gallery here. After roaming the case gallery and forums I finally decided to join just to post my case gallery lol in all honesty I never had any intentions of staying when I first joined haha. Then a couple guys took interest in one of my OC's (mainly hardnrg), then I got addicted to folding and well now I never left haha. .........I would say some of my fondest memories would be watching people working their butts off trying to match my 2500+(barton) OC, the seemingly one on one folding contest between Whitelightning and myself that was a blast, and of course the benchmark war. There are lots of others but those are the main three that stand out the most.

 

I have made many friends here at OCC since I joined. You know who you are so I won't name all of you and thanks for the memories.

I joined about a year and a half ago, and i probably should of joined before hand. I remember looking at this forum a few times about a year before that. I had it in my favs and checked the computer news and reviews and teh case gallery. But regretably i lost the url until my official join date Fav memory has got to be some of taz's ghetto rigs.

Me....I think I joined like 3 or 4 months ago. Occ the best thing that ever happened to me. I haven't been around long enough to be part of the more memorable vents here, hope to be in the future.

i joined occ because whenever i googled for tech advice OCC came up, and when i was lurking in the forums(in the shadows lol) i noticed that there were lots of people that share my love for computers......thanks OCC. im sure ill be around for a while....

I joined after stumbling upon OCC when Googling a noob speaker wire question. It's ironic that the first person to reply to this thread, Dean 25, was the first person to answer my first post. I was brand new to computers then, (and still am probably the least knowledgeable member of OCC), but despite being in waaaaay over my head here, I loved the place. Besides being a site packed with really serious computer geeks, you guys are funny . . And there is a culture of friendliness and helpfulness here.

 

I keep coming back because of the above, but also because I want to know everything about this new world, and I've always believed in learning from the best!

[LoArmistead]

bs you followed me and my OC addiction that's right I'm responsible for him spending long hours in the Politics & Current Events section of the forum.

 

Anyway, I joined bc the http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/ suck...or well they did back then...Back then it was the 1.8 celeron and my Shuttle XPC

 

What keeps me here? idk, it was helping people with problems and trying to learn more, but here recently I question the decision to stay with the number of stupid topics that show up everyday. It's becomming the same old questions with the same answer, [rant] if someone asks what mobo to get everyone cant type the words DFI LanParty fast enough...yet most of these people have never even tried anything else for 754/939. It just seems that people here are starting to all try and comform to the same system...granted the LanParty is great, but it's not the only good board out there...[/rant]

 

So anyway I'm still here bc of folding, and the rest of the members that have been here for awhile [opps more rant]and actually take time to think before posting (heck I rarely ever post a topic unless it's in the for sale section) and actually look around. Back in Feb. when i built my current LAN rig setup, i had people telling me how I should go with a $200 case when the budget i had was $60. [/rant] Again I'm here bc of the people that know how to think.
