The history of Seven Forums?

[chris1neji]

I just realized how many resources I have at my disposal especially thanks to the tutorial section.

I then realized how this is such a great contribution and it's quite simple and organized. Also we have an App
Maybe not every single problem gets solved but a big majority of it does.
I was wondering who started this project? Did this start since XP? Was there a XP Forums?

I would just like some background information.

We started with Vista Forums on the 15th of October, 2005. Seven Forums came next on the 17th of June, 2008. Eight Forums came shortly after 23rd of July, 2009.

John (z3r010) is the all-powerful creator of Designer Media Ltd which is the company that runs these forums. Shawn (Brink) is the other admin on the forums, Aaron (Airbot) is the Super Mod, and the mods are Guy (Dwarf) and Nigel (Barman58).

Thanks
So what made Zero and Brink do this ? I am sure they didnt just wake up one morning and decide to load up the servers.

What makes anyone one do anything?

The only one's that can truly answer that are themselves.

Actually it all dates back further than that - 64bit World started 29-feb-2004

The only other person that is still around from those days other than me is chinga69, brink joined us in 07 and Barman, Dwarf & Airbot in 08.

And yes I did just wake up one day and thought I'd like to play forums on the internet

A big thanks to Admin who put up this kind of forum and helped a lot of people about their computer problems.

I must say it's not all about fixing computer problems. Since i registered here just recently, i learned some new tips and tricks just by reading some threads. This forum to me is like a giant computer library and it helped me a lot. I am no guru in fixing computer problem, just a regular guy who loves to help some friend with their computer problems. Just a BASIC computer technician if I must say. Using this forum as a reference for any of my computer repairs really helps me a lot.

Kudos to Admin and to all awesome guru here

Wow, I didn't realise there was another forum! :shock:

Whatever the reason, I'm just glad this forum is in existence.

Well run, great tutorials and great help make what it is.

Carling don't design forums, but if they did, it would probably be the best forum in the world.

Wait.........................this is the best forum in the world.

I always thought Seven Forums, it was on the 16th of June, because I always have mentioned it on the same day as my Birthday, that is how I remember it.

Ditto. Much appreciated spot on the net...

Kind of odd though. Even though 64bit World is the oldest, it only just recently celebrated its 2nd birthday!

I feel that these 3 forums are not only a superb technical resource, but also a community of friends. It is comforting to see how everybody helps out and that in the most decent fashion.

And sometimes we have also a lot of fun. I am not a frequent visitor of the 'social threads', but when I do, I often have a good laugh.

Let's make every effort to keep it the way it is. It cannot get any better - or?

Of course it can... GROUP HUG!

I thought he was an old beat up Android App.
