|  Why are you here?
So why do you hang around the forums and keep the hobby active?
Personally I find computers very intriguing I first came here to learn how to make a media server for my friends I think, I then got engorged in the whole techie side. I also see myself as an altruistic person and so sharing my knowledge is something which gives me indirect self-fulfillment. I am a 20th century kid so hand me any bit of tech and within 20 mins I will be able t tell you every function of the device its a talent that is fairly specialised to my generation with a few exceptions ofcourse.

The other 18 forums I troll weren't fulfilling my trolling needs.
Plus I'm learning stuff here.

I first came here looking for help with things I couldn't figure out at the shop. Computers have always been a huge passion for me, and I really don't have anyone around here to geek out with about new hardware and stuff, so this place is perfect for me.

I stay here because computers are not only my primary source of income they are also my hobby if not the driving force in my life, and helping others learn is a nice way to spend my time.
I like this place so much that i stuck around to help and now I am a Smod helping to make this community grow and keeping the community safe.

I stuck around the forum because it is a one of a kind forum....
Without computers my life would be just to boring. I just like them. I really started getting into them about 6 years ago, from then i have only gotten more envolved, starting to know the actualy fuction of circuits and stuff.

I come back for information mostly, and for laughs - I laugh my a** off sometimes and I find this place very entertaining.
But the big reason, you all make me feel young and old at the same time  | |

Wait... we can leave...? 
I came here with a question, started helping people, and got hooked. I kept coming to see what was new and what was happening. Now I stay because I care about this place and the people here. | |
