Why are you on the forums (and life stories)

Guest

So, I wanted to ask this question for a long time... Why are you on the forums, not that the forums are bad, staff and members did a great job making it what it is today, but, why?

 

In my case, it was my life, my loneliness (sorry if i spelled that wrong) that influenced me (sorry if i spelled wrong again) to join this forum. Outside of my computer is a world full of people I don't want to hang out with. Full of retarded sexist bastards talking about penises and trying to get boners. Yeah, I am in a weird fucking place, but ill maybe never be able to get out of there. A world full of people that were your "best-friends" when they needed your money, your food, your drinks, your will to give them anything you want so their arses could be happy. (sorry, but really thinking about it i feel bad now) 

 

And I aren't talking about this because other people do, and I want to be like them, but because it already happened to me, and I'm freaking 12! Same story, a guy pretended to be my friend so i could give him things, be in his surroundings and protect him, and when he needed to get on his legs alone, he made me look like a damn bastard....

 

Then i found how a computer can be valuable for a person, not because I'm a gamer/tecchie now, but because I am already for 9 years... Because, yes, I started playing my first game on my 512MB's of ram computer with a pentium 2 CPU and an emulator. When i was three i knew more shit then 14 year  old's knew, and i was harrased because of it.

 

And when i got internet in 2008, again, i realized how gaming, and being on a computer could be a good thing. I was constantly making friends and meeting new people. And I aren't bullshitting again, because, I met my best friend through the net. We talk each day, 4 hours, for 5 years now, and we still have much things to discuss about, but since my friend was already a "enough" tecchie himself, i felt that there was emptiniess inside of me. That i couldn't help people with the best things i've ever learnt about. Computers.

 

So i tuned in a lot of channels like JayzTwoCents, BarnaculesNerdgasam (Both of them are on the forums) Newegg, and ofcourse, the almighty LinusTechTips and NcixTechTips... I already knew much things Linus was discussing about, but i've already just wanted to hear someones else thoughts, and so I discovered LTT forums. Where i could interact with people that are same like me, and help them.

 

I know this is a long ass post, and that it has been posted probably 1 or 2 times already, but i would be happy if you shared your own story with me ;)

I just like sharing my experiences with other people. Forums are also great source of information and I've learned a lot just from reading threads. As far as the reason I started hanging out on Ltt, I really don't know. At my school there are kids that own gaming pcs, but they are not true enthusiasts (ex: 270x kids and "omg i'm scared of overclocking kids"), and they are mostly AMD fanboys...so yeah...Amd

You're 12 and lonely because people your age are talking about boners?

 

Sorry but they reached puberty so its fairly normal, and sadly this will continue. Most people grow out of it and you have a joke here or there but a friend of mine is 35 and thinks its he is the business.(We just think he is an idiot at this stage).

 

 

 

But yeah I'm here because I was a fan of NCIX and Linus.

My company went bust, And since i was unemployed and needed something to do i decided to build my first pc. (And i got accepted into the mechwarrior online closed beta)

Then when i was going through youtube videos and reviews to see how the parts i had bought were reviewed. That's when i stumbled onto tek syndicate.

After a while on that forum i heard about a thing called the linus tech tips forum. So i decided to poke my head through the door and have a look.
Two seconds later i was pulled inside the door and i haven't been able to escape since.

It isn't just about people with boners, and I'm too going through puberty, but those people will littelary go and shit in the middle of the street if they need to, not quite fun people to deal with....

Well that I can understand, although it makes about as much sense as "AMD vs NVIDIA" war where people rank GPUs by the size of a cooling system (psst, I think this is a clear winner)

I got started using the forums when I decided to cave in watching one of Linus' videos (where he says to join the forums), since I felt that I could try to lend my hand at being helpful (since I know a decent amount about tech).

 

And as for a life story... I like pancakes.
