    How were you....

    Introduced to Hexus!

    Question i've always wanted to ask, how did you find Hexus in the first place.
    I found the link to Hexus.net on the overclock.co.uk website when I was bored. Ohh how glad I am that I was bored that day!
    Poll away guys!

    I was looking to buy something, Aaron of Aaron fame said 'What about the Hexus Bargain Hunt forums?" , I said "What is this 'Hexus' of which you speak?", he linked me up right nice, I came, I saw, I stayed.

    David said "Mod?" and I said "Yes" about 800 posts later, and the rest in history; or at least, will be in the future.

    Erm, probably Moby dragging me along to Deckards BBQ, felt well out of place, didn't know anyone, met a fair few of the mods, and had a great time, probably getting on to 18months ago now... Doesn't time fly when you are having fun

    I was in the UT 2k3 lobby of Gamespy when a bloke called Sirus sent me this link about 1700 jhuibs and the link was for Hexus, so I just browsed around the site and forums for a few days and registered.

    I was searching for something and came across the Hexus website and thought it looked better than all the other pages I'd been to. Then lookin around I found you guys here.

    I used to hang out on the [H]ardOCP forums, and they have a bargain hunt section. I figured that it wasn't much use to me as they only posted US bargains, and what I needed was a UK forum with a bargain section. I figured Hexus would be a good place to start looking, and whaddaya know! Then I just started hanging out here until I was hopelessly addicted.

    A friend of mine, and mod, Joshwa, directed me here from http://nelsoncolne.blogspot.com when I was looking to build my first PC.

    I came, you helped me build, and I decided to remain. PC is still going strong, best I've had.



    Cheers.

    I used to use the OCS boards and people kept going on about their 'Hexus' every time they were selling something.

    I used to be a mod/reviewer for thetechzone.com so I knew of a fair few other sites. I joined up at HEXUS and things lead on from there...
