Your memories of TEK.
on: May 02, 2008, 23:47:15 PM
I remember many things, the Spie + Sam thing on gamersx.com or whatever (WELL before most peoples time I think), me telling berks to sod off, but mainly talking to Tongy about girls. Damn without him I would have phailed at uni, thank you Tongy. :)

Anyone else remember the good old days? (Not that TEK is going anywhere, I hope!)

*Egg frying does not count.*

Theres an air of nostalgia that been looming around here for a while, egg cooking, profile clones, Predator avatar threads, the Good vs Evil movie character tournament, all the madness of the testing forum. Great days they were. Who won the good vs evil tournament, was it Smugs?

I seem to remember someone pretending to be me, I did a double take and then asked if they had ever been barned, Ive never seen anyone go so tail between the legs :mutley:

I also remember a time when the Admins forgot to lock the option to change who you were, so there was more than a dozen of us changing names, at one point there was a horde of Nis. Then the next morning they found that Sam had locked the names and they were temporarily stuck.

I seem to remember someone saying in a time related thread that if time travel existed in the future they would come back and edit their post, so, being kind and generous, I did it for them :) They then proceeded to have kittens, until they noticed my post below theirs with the original contents quoted...

A certain person who had a hosting company and got many people on here to be on it and watch ever increasing problems and complaints and arguments and him leaving the forums and the new company of same host becoming a ghost host.

OMG TekQuiz, yes awesome stuff! How I did rock on speed despite my glaring typos :lol:

UT was always classic, me + Sam vs Tekforums lol. Sams just too good. Knighty I seem to recall you would do kamikaze runs to try and kill him.

the gun avatars :)

threads comparing Super-Pi and 3DMark scores back when we were more or less all overclocking the backsides off our machines.

the SETI@Home and UD Cancer Research distributed computing teams. I seem to recall Alien8 providing more crunching power than the rest of us combined at one point.


Most of all, the days when most of us couldnt afford the latest bells and whistles and spent most of our time trying to coax a few more FPS out of a budget class machine held together with string and sticky tape and overclocked to about 200% of its rated performance. When a successful overclock meant the difference between being able to reasonably play Quake 3 and not.

Yay gun avatars. Still miss Wizbit. I had a really good discussion with someone over use of the word "paki", might have been co0l. Not just the egg frying, but everything from Troubador. Avatar hijackings, IRC, randomcolourorange, just knowing some great people.

:hug:

litterally running across town to get to an internet connection in time to buy a prototype GF3 Ti500 from Bladerunner.

Man alive that card was fast for its time. Its still going strong in my ex-GFs machine AFAIK.

 :mutley:

definitely on of the best members ever to wind up

in terms of people whod bite easily wrt politics the duke was probably number 1

followed closely behind by Jimjym, faulky and maximusotter

it does seem that, with discussion boards at least, the more left wing the poster is the less of a sense of humour they have and the more theyll get wound up/angry when people just simply dont agree with them
