When did you join Open Tech Support?

[Canis Lupus]

Well, OTS.Net celebrates its fourth year of operations, and I thought a poll related to it may be in order.

So the poll question is pretty simple - when did you first join OTS.Net? I'm not talking about first visit, but the time when you registered to be a member!

Poll away, citizens :)

looking under my avatar, will vote soon.

Always asking the tough questions Lags...If I recall it was while you were putting up the very first prototype OTS and you asked us all to help put her through her paces. I logged on and was redirected to a porn site. ;)

[Tecil]

I was bored one day at work and had done a search in Google for Tech Support Forums. OTS was the top link that popped up, and I've been here since.

It also helped that I was a gamer and a Blizzard addict at the time.

[~Binabik~]

Has it really been that long ???
Whoa!!! Time sure does fly ;)

[armystud0911]

well, I'm definitly a newcomer at OTS. I was doing some google searches on insects back in march and believe it or not, I wound up here! Ergo, the "lady bug thread" was one of my first to post on.

:lol: :lol: No wonder :lol: ladybugs :) I was looking for help on speaker systems and i typed in "technical support help" in google and i got OTS. Found out the colours were easy on the eyes and i decided to stay. This is my first forum ( and up to now, the only one i am a member of)

[RAcastClarke]

I came here with a video card problem, and was ignored...

Stopped coming for a while, but then I came back. I'm here, albeit somewhat disliked by a few. Not all though. I like OTS. It's a good place. Made some friends.

[taco_fox]

umm 2001

edit: how can you not remember your reg date?
<---- it's right there

[RAcastClarke]

Hah, yeah, I laughed when i read the title of the thread. It does show up there..pretty easy to see....

[Bunmiadefisayo]

Racast who the **** doesnt like you here? Just name one or two, in a PM if you dont want anyone to know.

[RAcastClarke]

Hah, glad to know that you're there for me, bud.

I'm sure there are people out there somewhere you have something going for me.

[Wacheif]

Dec 2000 man its been a while, i can still remember coming here for the first time :P got a link off the OTS chan on b.net

[AltronHGX]

2001 reprazent

[armystud0911]

I wouldn't say that about yourself clarke- if anyone doesnt like you, its their problem.

[RAcastClarke]

I'm a huge huge pessimist. Sorry, it's my habit.

Inferiority complex, big time.

Eh, I manage. :)

[Bobaroo]

I feel like an old man!!

I joined 5 months after OTS opened :)

Nov 2000

[uh...ok]

Not sure (guess I'll find out after this post), but I remember joining a week or two after OTS.net opened up... reading the first posts of the forums, and going "Holy crap, this is the new place to hang out" (since bnet OTS went to the gutter). Are these join dates technically correct? My memory may be failing me, but I remember that there was a first run after which we had to register again... though perhaps the join dates got fixed sometime afterward.

It's definitely been a long way, and I miss a lot of the people who used to be around a lot but no longer visit for various reasons.


Cheers for the 4th year. LA3 forever!!! :D

[Blackknight]

Hmmm it's been a while. :p

[IceBreaker]

In 2004...I think...but time seems distorted here..

[Spider]

August '00

Was around before that but didn't get around to registering for a couple months. Was too busy wasting my time on battle.net

Actually now that I think about it, I registered over at TG before here

[uh...ok]

Yea Spider, almost exactly the same case for me. I discovered the TG forums shortly before joining here, and then got redirected to here ... don't even remember how. Either through the TG forums or someone advertising in OTS. :)

[SpecOpsHoov]

2003.

I registered with TG way back in I think '01, always heard about OTS but never bothered to register, would just lurk here and there.

Since TG went down the drain I needed somewhere to go.

Thus, I arrived here after being banned at sojplz. ;)

[SKYHN]

I joined in 2001. Why? To get help with my pirated games of course.

[nocode]

Where the hell did everyone go from 2002?!?:D

[Freak]

Big Red X!

go go simple HTML webpage frames

[FL_techgirl]

REAL NEWBIE!!

June 2004

Read posts for a few months before I registered though. :cool:
;) Got good help so I stayed! :D

Same. Registered a while into TG; started posting here seriously when Wargasm kept censoring columns. It was a good move since TG died like a month later :lol:

[Phate]

2002 I think


Edit: Yes.:D

[PhantomGamer]

i joined in 2001

[Storm_Shot]

It was probably 2002.

[Bishop]

A long time ago (in a galaxy far away?)

[C-Money]

September last year...

Joined for a Diablo2 problem.

[justinious]

uh lemme see 2002

[The-AoD]

Which time? :) I think I registered to OTS like 3 times back in the day :)

[slugo3]

June 2002 ... so what did you guys get me for my 2 year OTS B-day :)
I came here from a link in a usenet post while researching a problem.

[kidd657]

looking under my avatar, will vote soon.
same here buddy

[kidd657]

lol sluggo nice avatar makes me laugh

[Maverick]

July 2000, pretty early :)

[madman55]

i was looking for a good tech support site to post my questions. i came across ots, and decided to join. Its been great ever since.

[Radiator]

2002, could have joined in like 2000 or something but then again I'm not sure if I already spoke english back then :p

[Mr.Dragon]

<------------k.

[Hambones]

I joined in 2K2 because of a little squab I got into with Angst Merchant. :cool:

He verbally throttled me...it was great!

[AngstMerchant]

I don't have a taste for that sort of thing anymore. I'm on the IRL tip now and a lot more mellow. :)

[Hambones]

It's all good my friend. Getting slapped around every once in a while humbles the soul. :)

IRL...interesting. I noticed you don't post as much lately. I've never really been a big Internet personality myself. This is the only forum with which I affiliate, and I do alot of gaming. I would say I'm 90% real life and 10% digital me! hmm...

[Shalome]

April 2001, shortly after Scav told me in the Open Tech Support channel on Battle.net.. "you'll get tired of this in three weeks."

;)

[TheHairyOne]

2004...but I should have started coming here a long time ago... 8)

[Drake]

Battle.net Channel since Diablo Beta/Demo

forum since 2001, TG well before that, only do web surfing in between games (every 3-6 moths hehe) so i tend to drop off the face of the earth alot.

[EMU]

samo samo here.. battle.net then here (or the one b4 it) i've re-registered a couple of times due to inactivity and too lazy to recall my username :-)

Wench convinced me that this was better than talking to the n00bs on Diab

[Sandman1278]

[Zakir]
