just like to say that this isnt another 1000posts cheesy thread thing, its more of a story...
it all started in aug2004...
a good friend of mine (rogue|saber) started a thread on here to help me with my internet connection for my Xbox live, it got help and solved my problem
time passed by... till dec 2004.....
i was in a bother again technologically (not really a bother as you will se soon)
so i registered here on my old laptop, not knowing then what i let myself in for...
i made a pointless and useless thread that really was childish and immature, and in doing so managed to upset 3 senior members, and even more oddly slagged somebody off (kezzer) for having 178 posts and no life, ironically this is my 1000th post and i still have a life... reading through the thread it would be easily obvious to guess that i was a pushy n00b at all things PC and was too arrogant for my own good...
So time passed by even more...
i came back, again and again, i don know why, i just did, i treaded water in the general hardware section, not really knowing much BUT LEARNING MORE THAN I COULD IMAGINE from you people.
i began to post, meaningless (trying to help posts) to seem helpful posts, to help other people, all the while still earning, soon enough i came across one or two people with the same problem as me, there were people i could help!!!!!
time kept passing, i soon found myself with the forums as my homepage, logging on each day to see what was new in general hardware.. learning posting, having fun
time passed yet still, i learned there were other parts to this forum, such as help (where i should have been making threads) general discussion and the like...
i posted more, and more i became engrossed, i came onto hexus at school as soon as i had a minute, checking news,m prices and reading and re-reading hex s reviews
i began to realise that the pc i had recently built was like the ones here, i could overclock it, there were terms that applied to what i was doing, the ram that was talked about was the same as mine, i didn’t feel alienated, i participated further...
i began to meet people on hexus whom i am glad i know, i saw regulars, people who have reputations, and soon earned one for having sloppy typing......
i posted more and more, passing 500 not caring that it gave me an avatar, just that i was learning more and more every time i did, although i may not have posted, but ive probably read every thread in general hardware and overclocking in the past 6 or so months, this place seemed a second school to me, somewhere i could learn in my own environment, while also having fun,
i approached 1000 not knowing it, and this is oddly enough my 1000th post, its also when i realised i should write this thread, after all the reason my pc is still in one piece is because of you people,
i guess what im trying to say is THANK YOU, im also saying SORRY for things i may have done over my 1 year here, that ive hopefully learnt not to do again,
ive had a great time here and truly believe i AM a better person for being here, reading threads in general discussion learning more than the confined realms of technology, its taught me a great deal, and i wouldn’t trade it for the world
i liek to take this time to personally say sorry to:
KEZZER: sorry for saying you have no life
STOO: sorry for being tube and getting your back up in my first thread ^^)
AZ: sorry for my sloppy typing that you reprimanded me for
DAVID: sorry for what i asked you, it was inappropriate
id like to take this extra time to thank a few other people:
DAVEHAM: bargains.....
VAUL: your always helping me and are very friendly
DAVID: great set of forums you have here
DIRECTHEX: thanks for sorting out my cs problem
KUSHTIBARI: thanks for the drivers
i cant remember anyone else, although there are 100's
EVERYBODY: for putting up with me
im also sorry for making you read all this with no funny joke at the end, lol because you probably wont understand really that im happy to be here as i do
i look forward to many more posts here,
it truly is a great place
p.s. sorry if you think this is just another spammy post
</ emotional post>
