How did you find OTS?

[Canis Lupus]

Another dumb poll? Maybe, but I must say I'm curious ;)

How did you find Open Tech Support? Let us know and share your first impressions too! :D

[Ion Silverbolt]

I think someone told me about it..hehe

[Kdr Kane]

I'm pretty sure I got it one day when I went looking for BRXgaming.Net or whatever it was called. I forgot now.

You know, your old site.

[The_Druidess]

I resisted for a years but found out resistance was futile :). Now I'm hooked on you guys.But was def word of mouth.

[DemonBob]

AoD's old anti-idel....lol :)

[Tweaker]

Dumb luck! ;)

[Bobaroo]

Nfested told me about this site.:D

[Outlaw]

I think Dru told me...

[Chako]

I visited Bnet OTS after one of my famous long leave of absence and found the only person I could recognize....Revenge. He sent me here after I asked him where everyone was.

[Mr.Dragon]

hmm... i was in BNEt Ots getting into a arguement with wenchie as usual and someone um... i cant remember who mentioned a mascot contest at OTS and i was like wtf is ots and was told "go to www.opentechsupport.com so i was like "um ya ok" and the story goes on....:cool:

[Shalome]

Combination... word of mouth from people I met at OTS forum on b.net... I think Scav or AoD told me to download Topaz Chat from here, and I wound up sticking around.

[BobSkywalker]

anakin, whom i have not heard from in years, sent me the link back in the day
anyone seen him around? he must be busy with his new movie or something :\

[Spider]

OTS on battle.net


And Dragon, that was most likely me, I was spamming about the contest when I was out of town for a couple weeks. :rolleyes:

[Bobaroo]

I never really went to OTS on b.net. I was just on with my friends and we stayed in our own chat. I occasionally go in to ask for help and realize there were to many bots in there.

[Shalome]

Umm.. Bobaroo.. Those "bots" are all us OTS regs...

[redwench]

*wiggles her little bot butt*

:p

[Bobaroo]

O, well if i ever go on B.net agian i will go to OTS channel, and may actually know people

[-EG-raynor]

i was on the b.net site and it poped up and i thought it would be a good site .. and guess wat . it is :)

[Tecil]

I had done a search at Google for PC Support Forums.

[Freak]

Old skool lol
back in the days of D1 with Tiny and Di and Sexi and hanging in ots with momser eskimo and a million other regs I have not heard from in ages.
Course back then I was ignorant and stupid at the tender age of 11/12.


Wait, I still am.


When Laggy was Laggy with his D1 site and funky top and bottom frames hehe.
When BobaFeTT was THE trainer
When Diablo Strategy Forum was actually a place you could get some cool info
When the-group.tierranet.org was around hehee.
When Woody's BNSomething( Beyond Naked Something)
was FUN
When I had Eaglehorn AND Windforce (LEGIT !!!)

the short version:
ok I first heard of ots.net a couple of years ago :D

[Spork Lover]

I was forced by gunpoint to sign up and post so often. :D Actually I asked a co-worker to post a question in here for me, then i broke down and signed up

[PhantomGamer]

I founded it out becuase someone told me then i made my account and i never leave:D

[Indira]

I first found OTS when I was trying to get help from Blizzard. They had a link on their site. I just loved the site when I got here, still do :)

[Storm_Shot]

OTS on bnet for me :D I was actually there for a legit question first, but then I found out I knew more than most of the people there! (except the regs of course :p) So I stayed and eventually someone said I should come here :)

[Xtren]

I found OTS from a link at Project404.org. I thought the forums here looked really cool so I started posting.

[Heathen]

Pure luck.

I've never been on Battlenet and was searching arounf for tech support forums. Found OTS and the rest is history.

I keep meaning to buy DS... but dunno if I'd like it. I normally only play sports games... still thinking about it though....

:D

btw - OTS rocks... I love it here :)

[†Pr|§M†]

/vote search engies

i was looking for somewhere to get better support then THQ

[Seijin]

I just recently found out about OTS from Blizzard's Battle.net website. I needed help with computer freezes and The-Group.org didn't help much, so I tried this site and have gotten a lot of help.

Seijin

[justinious]

Found the site by searching for "tech support". I needed help with a bunk vid card ( my very first post (http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6237):D ), and I started lurking on and off. I flipped out when I saw the other Missouri-ble people out there. Then I did a touble flip when I found out there were other people who threw thier $$$'s into MU's gaping maw, and knew my hometown! Been hooked ever since.:cool:

[tkron]

Hmm
I posted help starting June of 1997 in OTS battlenet.

After few months TheHelper pointed me to the Blizzard tech support forum, and I found it easier to post there

In August of 1999 Blizzard made me their second MVP on their web sites

Posted mostly on Blizzards OTS web forum from maybe August of 1997 until it closed in July of 2001.

Started posting on the Helpers forum in 2001 after Blizzard closed its OTS forum, and finally after lurking on this forum for several months I registered on this forum and started posting here.

[Xtren]

I got the link to this forums from Project404 where I first started posting in December. I then started posting here in February of this year. I also post now at Visualcues.com because Project404 is down right now.

[elhior_manwe]

from just being in ots battle, someone told me to come here...dont remember who

[REVENGE]

someone ICQ'd me and said he was starting up a new tech site and was looking for some help.

Guess that was like 2-3 years ago.

[Canis Lupus]

LOL REV ... I bet you regretted the day you received that ICQ message, hehehe ...

[philmcneal]

i remember seeing some guy's signiature on b.net fourms.. it said www.opentechsupport.net i was curious

[Aeris_Flame]

I remeber in bnet OTS The_Druidess was talking about her pic she had posted here. I was curious about it and wondered what she looked like. I had seen several people in OTS talking about this site already, like Canis Lupis, REVENGE and Red Wench. I just couldn't stand not knowing what it was about. Then Dru said if I wanted to see her pic I have to go to the sute. If I recall correctly, there was someone else who signed up with me that same day. All to just see Dru's pic (who is quite beautiful, may I add). Anyway I ended up just staying.

[Soulja]

Vbulliten.com linked you all as site of the month. I had to check it out ;)

[The_Turks(ff7)]

well i learned of this site from ''GrayGhost'', he told me to read the post about him so i did then like a couple days later i decided to register

[MLX]

Bobaroo330 brought me here to benefit the site. So far i think im doing a pretty good job. Everyone say thx Bobaroo. :D :)

[MLX]

If anyone doesn't remember, i actually first came to this site in late 2001 as MLXMariners.

[WD40]

I found OTS through the bnet channel, it was in someones profile.

Xoncide's profile I think

[EddieJ300]

I found it using a search with Coopernic.

Hey I use Copernic too, it's a wicked earch, you find much more than using any other engine. I never tried to search up OTS though, which is something I usually do to see if I can find a site I like or something. Guess I haven't been bored of late :)

[darkknight1223]

I found it from bnet... Someone was helping me with SC and he recommended here

[nocode]

altavista search engine.......i was building a computer at the time and found the black athlon thread. i found the guide very helpful. it's been a few weeks since i completed the computer.....and i'm still hangin out!....this is a great site!!!!!!!

[ZeRo_MaXwInG]

I think I found this site after trying to figure out what was wrong with random SC crashes. It was a link from TG from another site and another site...etc.

This is an awesome tech site.:)
