I was looking for stuff for vista and I visited VistaX64.com. To tell the truth I was actually put off by the name (Because I was using X32bit Windows.) Then I found some useful information And signed up. Since then I have gained the Vista pro badge, Signed up to Windows 7 Forums,Chrome Forums and Windows 8 Forums.
I originally joined the Vista 64 Forums (now Vista Forums), and was elected to be a moderator. When the Seven Forums was started, my memberhip was carried over.
Although my time is not my own, and I haven't been very acive in either these last few months...
When I purchased Windows 7 Ultimate a year ago the first thing I did was perform a Google search of forums that pertain to windows 7. After bookmarking 3 or 4 and doing some comparison shopping so to speak it only took a couple of days to seal the deal with Windows Seven Forums as this is the only site with a massive tutorial section & relevant accurate solutions. After lurking for about 4 months I finally decided to register and have yet to lose interest as there is always something new to learn and as other members have alluded to, A friendly atmosphere.
Thanks Airbot, this should be a sticky
Came here from a Google link, trying to puzzle out my broken Picture Locations issue (it's still broken but I posted a workaround). Love the place, friendly atmosphere, I really enjoy reading the threads where people manage to get their problems fixed.
Using google, found a link to here.
Liked what i saw and stayed. Lots of nice people with great advise and wicked sense of humour.
GTA IV was giving me some issues, so I came here to try and get them sorted.
It's funny, because I look over a lot of posts I've made seeking advice since coming here in December 2009, so much of the stuff I learned is just second nature to me now. I've had an interest in PC's since I was like 15, I've learned bits and pieces over the years. However now approaching 22 I've learned more here in under a year than I had in all the years before. It's testament to how helpful the people on here are and how easy it is to learn if you have the right instruction.
I honestly have no clue how I ended up here.
Correction...
I was trying to figure out something about two nics on a domain.... something to this day has not been answered :P
I had a few more posts over the next few days then about a month after joining I started responding to other posts and I was addicted....
i got sick of MDL being all about hacking windows 7, so Googling windows seven forum brought me here, and i stayed. I havent enjoyed an online community this much since the late 90's as howcaniloveyouifyouwontliedown on the yahoo Linux chat room!
Well, I just got here yesterday. I was looking for info on why I could not get PFBackup to run on 7 x64 with Office 07. I have been looking around and so far I like the site alot and hope to stick around for a while....
