Why do you come to DH?

Falstaff · Dec 9, 2007, 10:32 AM

Superior reviews
good news
different views
nothing to lose
LOL
Its been years but I love this place, it has sort of grown on me and lots of folks..As a Vulcan character once said "may we live long and prosper"
I hope the coming year brings fullfillment of promises, new oppurtunties and a chance to reconcile differences and find mutual respect and of course..
start over. Cheers everyone, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and many more.

Why do I come to DH?

Why not?

EZero · Dec 9, 2007, 11:56 AM

Haha I agree with the nothing to lose option!

Yeah that and for the occasional help threads. I've lurked a whole lot but rarely post.

I used to be a daily regular at the old cdmag.com/cgonline.com (computer games strategy plus magazine). That was from 1997 till about 2001 when there was the real RIP of the forums. Been looking for a new "home" since then. By accident (I think looking for omega drivers) found this forum back in 2002. I didn't start posting a lot for a while. Slowly I felt better and better coming in here and now I am here every day, most of the day.
I come to DH because I like DH.

The ladies! OH YEAH!

Or maybe just the huge amount of news, excellent reviews, great competitions and "new posts" in the forum

WhO_KnOwS · Dec 9, 2007, 10:11 PM

I come here to write reviews

Actually, I come here because of the great team that DH has, as well as a lot of the users which make writing reviews worth it! (sounds cliche, but I mean it)

Vikingod · Dec 9, 2007, 11:17 PM

I'm sure I came here in the first place looking for drivers for my Dell Inspiron 5150. Right away, I realized it was different from anywhere. I'd never even been a member of a forum, and really didn't spend much time of the net. But everyone was very helpful, and professional (especially for the internet), and I never saw "h@x0Rz" written anywhere, so I gave it a shot. A bit later I was offered the newsposting job, then mod, then supermod... next, master of the universe.

Robert McClelland · Dec 9, 2007, 11:59 PM

I come here for fights between Geminiwave and Jeff

drakesteakn · Dec 10, 2007, 12:12 AM

same here, to start off i found the site through the kX forums, i'd post there a little, then i started to read the news on the frontpage, and then slowly ventured out of only posting in kX, and eventually here.

I just like the atmosphere here, real "family" sort of feeling

niceguyrichy · Dec 10, 2007, 04:06 AM

I've no idea why I keep coming back tbh..
I do know I got a lot of stick from my gf when I started visiting DH regularly, she wasn't realy into the intraweb thingy. now of course she's a bigger forum whore than I am, but that's besides the point.
