interested in the history of this forum

[anta]

hey am new(ish) here, been posting a few days.

after reading the Rep sticky made me wonder where this forum came about.

Been in IT a few years now and never come across this forum until my first post a week or so ago.

I'd tell the whole terrible history but I'm afraid they'd hunt me down mercilessly. Also the red mist starts to descend just thinking about it!

PS. A warm welcome to the forum anta

It started before the win7 M1 then the beta...

 

[smarteyeball]

It was Vistax64's lil baby sister site that first started becoming active around the 6801 build leak.

It continually evolved as the leaks progressed, saw more influxes when the official RC beta was released and then finally when the RTM was released.

Now it's here for everyday searchers.

Even if most of the people have changed (a few originals still exist here and there ) - it's always been one of the best non-official Seven sites around.

It started With the Vista Forums, then they added seven forums, and recently they added eight forums

I'm sure there will be Windows 9 forum as well in future
