| Why I Love Tech Forums (this is my reason for loving tech forums, whats yours?)
Some of the rules SUCK, i dont agree with them
BUT--- (before u moderators and admins click the delete button=P hear me out)
I love tech-forums.net
I dont like a few rules, but i can live with it, because it means i dont have to put up with the idiots that are all over the other forums on the net.
Example:
Tech-forums member asks for help "i just got a new system, u think i can play crysis?"
They will probably get a good answer, from a knowledgeable member-base.
(because u guys rox)
----
Anonymous-Online-Forums member asks the SAME question-
And countless times, again and again, i keep seeing "you should have bought an intel, you should have bought a radeon, u should have bought Gskill, YADDA YADDA"
(because other forums are teh sux)
----
This is why i love the Tech forums, because the rules suck, but the people rock.
Whats your story?
(p.s. dont ban me again =D)

| Re: Why I Love Tech Forums The rules here are the most thought out and best executed rules on any forum I've seen.
The reason I love these forums is because of the great times and the many friends I've made here. Simple as that.

| Re: Why I Love Tech Forums I think the rules are fine. They're reasonable rules that are upheld somewhat strictly, but it's the internet. Either the moderators are strict with the rules or they become useless, and nobody follows them.
I like everyone in this community, and at first I only joined to ask a stupid question about my stupid Dell, but I've come very far since then. Heck, I rebuilt 2 computers last week (successfully), both of which I picked good parts for, because I can actually pick out the right parts thanks to these guys. I never expected to stick around, but I really began to enjoy being on the forums, and I've been checking non stop ever since joining. I've been on other forums before, and the level of maturity here is excellent.

| Re: Why I Love Tech Forums We enforce them otherwise we would end up like 4chan, but thank's for the support.
Oh an when it comes to checking the forums my browser is open when ever I have a internet connection, I am signed in all the time. Spam dosen't last long and the members like youself are a huge help there, most of you are mature and know what your on about an for this i am thankful.

| Re: Why I Love Tech Forums right, out of all the forums i've been involved in, this one seems to have the most mature member base, and the least amount of flame wars. My second reason is simply one word....Trotter....awesome guy and i respect him a lot, with all the things he does he still has time to be human (as well with the other moderators who seem to view him as a roll model) ....i've been here going on 4 years and haven't been disappointed yet. I've learned everything i know about computers (almost) from this forum....thanks guys....thumbs up! |

| Re: Why I Love Tech Forums Well I've been here for over 4 years. I don't post a whole lot, but I read. I'm the guy lurking in the shadows so to speak. I'm still here because members here actually seem to know what they're talking about (crazy right?).
