    I dont know what has happened but I only joined this site a couple of weeks ago due to issues with my sys but after greater exploration of the options avail (im still exploring) I find I cant switch my sys on without coming along and at least having a look. I think I must becoming an evolving geek which is an absolute paradox as five years ago I was a meathead constuction worker (more brawn than brain). Three years at Uni and a degree changed this slightly but this still does not excuse this behaviour I have recently adopted. For goodness sake I spend more time hear than searching for porn and yet I am still this full blooded male!?!. To the FOUNDERS and CREATORS of this site I take my hat off to you to inspiring me to exercise the upper muscle relative to the lower. My learning curve realative to comp sys, CPU, mobo (fancy potatoe), heat sink, etc, etc has increased exponetially. The methods for security analysis of the integrity of a system must be wholly appluaded.

    I wonder should there be a GEEKS ANYOMOUS estab., I am yet to come out of the closet on this but, BUT!!!

    Thank you all who have provided advice especially Halo and Shadow Pewter Dude.

    I like this site but theres not many people on here. I find that it takes a long time for people to reply in posts. But anyway its still a good forum.

    Sometimes it is like this. Before my job got extemely busy, I'd probably spend quite a bit of time posting during working hours.

    Like theefool and D3m3nt3d, the posts nearly all get answered, we just dont post for the sake of posting.... their is a bit of thought and substance behind the posts I like to feel, all the spammers dont last long as they get nuked by the Abbynator™ ;)

    I have been a member on some of the bigger web forums for 5yrs+ and now see that ok fine some have 1000+ guests and members online at any one time, but I feels they have ben spoilt as I and I know alot of others cannot stand sifting through the kiddychat, blatent WRONG information and half arses wannabe hacker talk!

    Which is something that we here dont go for...

    Like a lot here at MG, I use the forum as my startup or home page, using Opera….on Firefox I use the majorgeeks . com, as my startup page……but, if you see me on the front page, but don’t get an answer, I’m out there surfing somewhere……wobbles

    I have to agree better to have quality relative to quantity. Theres' more than enough research resources that can be read when not seeking responses. If you want hi-density then go to WinMX chat and you will copius amounts of people with all the elements mentioned above catered for.

    True, and most of the forums out there are similar, yes they may have 100k+ members but their is generally only a core 100 or so members that actually post, the rest lurk, so most forums are only small in reality.

    I am in the same boat..came here awhile ago because I was googling for help. Got the answers I needed here. And again, and again, and again, and now it is my homepage also.

    I cannot help other's too much, yet, but I try. I have never frequented a forum before this one so I have no experience to go off of, but I would not join another one. Where I used to just use this thing for miscellaneous things, now I get in deep, and break it often. But thanks to the people here, I am learning.:D
    CHEERS MAJOR GEEKS!
