How'd you get here Thread

[Hopalong X]

Googled Dual Boot Windows.

Dual Boot Windows XP popped up. The two top choices were another forum and sevenforums.

My brother said click that one. Went to the other web site first. Exact same Method 2 tutorial as Brink's until you get to Step 7. They had no Step 7!!!:shock:
They said nothing about the .net framework being downloaded so the Easy BCD would open.
So I clicked the Google sevenforums dual boot link.
Straight to Brink's tutorial and the rest is a short 60 odd day lively history.

PS
My brother has the two Masters degrees.
One in Computer Science (not sure of the exact degree) and one in Accounting.
He is the Prof. teaching at a University.
I'm the one building our PC's now.

Well, i first went to Vistax64 because my version would not update. Damn thing, same errors all the time and never did get to the bottom £162 wasted, thank god i bought OEM and not retail.... anyway...

Yeah, started on the Vx64 site. After a while, i gained a version of the 7 RC think it was build 7100, but then what do you know, the next lot kept being leaked, did a search on Google and it bought me here as there was thread stating to PM people here for the links.

After a while, i made my first post about imaging and never looked back since.

I was trying to manage my new Win 7 as I did XP, didn't know squat about Win 7 and was making a mess of my system. A friend referred me here. I found one of Brink's tutorials that answered my questions. I used a restore point, got my system running and Chev helped me get my networking set up properly. I have been here ever since and trying pass the help I received forward.

I have been here ever since and trying pass the help I received forward.

And succeeding

I found Vista forums through google search for an issue I had and for some reason stuck around the forum,, (there was just something different about the forum from others that I could not place ).

Joined and started to pass on some of my knowledge to others while I was absorbing the vast knowledge available there.

Ted, (BareFootKid) sent me a friend request that confirmed that this was a nice place to hang out, and the rest is history,

I was invited onto the team and then to Moderate and as soon as I took the plunge with win7 signed up here.

So blame Ted for all the time I spend here, Thanks mate

 

[Joan Archer]

We wouldn't have it any other way Nigel so we'll thank Ted not blame him

 

[mickey megabyte]

so who's to blame for ted? :devil:

And he turned you into a chain-smoking chimp too. I sure hope SevenForums has a medical plan.

i found you when...

i got the transformers game from the library and i couldn't get it to play properly on my comp.

still haven't solved the issue - but i thought i'd hang around anyway

I class that as an improvement - I used to be a chain smoking chump

and I did use this (d) as an avatar for a while until I found my true self

Glad you found your true self. As stated in an earlier post of mine It took me some time to decide whether or not to join this forum but after getting used to the friendly, helpful & humorous (your avatar, THW, boobah) atmosphere I was hooked.

Another amazing & humorous event was when I tried to create my own Sig & Avatar with Paint.NET and the end result was other members creating a Sig & Avatar/Animated Avatar for me without even asking. On a humorous note that would be one way to keep the relevant thread "neat & tidy" in reality their time & expertise helping others is greatly appreciated.

But lets not forget the true reason I singed up and that would be the whole purpose of SevenForums existance - eg: Tutorial section and Legendary Gurus such as Gregrocker and others to numerous to mention.

Found VF on a search about Vista questions. Hung around there (never did achieve guru though ), and when they brought SF online, I went over and checked it out.
Was not overly interested at that time (hey, I was only like 16), but posted a couple questions.
After I got hooked on Vista, I looked deeper in SF, and started getting to the Beta hype, and stuck.

I was planning my new PC, and knew I would get Windows 7, so I started Googling for sites. Came across 7F, started reading, had the answer to a question, so registered. Jonathan King sent me a friend request, so I have been here ever since (6 months ago today as a matter of fact ). So, guess Jonathan is to blame...NAH!

Came here to fix that dreaded nvlddmkm issue

 

[Francis93]

I had a couple of problems with my Windows 7 which prompted me to google for a Windows 7 Forum to ask for help, and this forum was first on the list. I then joined the forum and started posting. I found out that the members here were very helpful, knowledgeable, kind and hospitable and the forum has everything you need to know about Windows 7 from general topics to system security, etc. so I decided to be active because I love SF.

Tell us the story of how you came to SevenForums

This seems like a topic not yet covered. For me it was soon after I was running windows 7 beta for quite a while and stumbled upon this forum while looking for tweaks to improve the upcoming OS. Let the flaming begin if this has already been covered.

I also joined because of the BETA, but that was not my only reason. It was natural for me to join after being a Vistaforums members for some time, I knew the admins z3r010 and Brink quick well...

I regret not finding the Vista forum while I was using it as my primary os. I had many questions regarding Vista back then.
