I built my first computer from higgs bosuns 0.000013 picoseconds after the big bang. I've been biding my time for the last 13 billion years waiting for the industry to catch up.

2) Mature, savvy, and patient hardware and troubleshooting advice.
3) Everyone seems to get along really well and theres no flaming.
4) Cool deals, Buy 'n Sell, great contests
5) Everyone keeps me up to date on new tech and gaming news from around the web
6: It's Canadian eh!

Quoted For Truth!

That really does sum up why when I dropped in last year I decided to stick around... Though I`m not sure if everyone in my family would agree that this decision was a good thing ....

I agree with what Alwaysrun said.

I really like how questions are not answered with RTFM or Google it. I try doing that first but sometimes just asking gets a better more straightforward answer or you get a direction to look in. If we stick to the manual or Google it kind of takes away from the "community" thing (as in less discussion).

This forum still has the small community feel to it and I hope it stays that way as we grow. I find that the tone of a forum is set by it's existing members and as new members join they usually adopt a simular attitude. This forum is well balanced now and I forsee it staying that way for some time to come.

Being a Canuck site helps, we are just so gosh, darn polite.

Outside of the XP vs. Vista threads, everything seems to flow smoothly around here, which is why I like it so much.

Also, lots of knowledgable people that even experienced users can learn a thing or two from.

Knowledgeable is an understatement. I believe this quote sums it up the genius of some of our members:
"He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament."
BrainEater, I'm looking at you.

IMHO, "discussions" about Vista vrs XP, Dual vrs Quad, or 4Gig vrs 8Gig are not a bad thing so long as the discusion stays civil. There are benefits to boths sides of the "discussion" and it's important for folks to get that information in order to make an informed decision.
