Which TSF member helped you first or helped you fit in?

bry623 · 11-04-2005, 10:08 AM

All of this speedo reminsceing and woots response got me to wondering which TSF member helped you first or got you hooked?

For me it was jgvernonco. He helped me with a virus we had at the office.

The one that helped me first was you bry, but the one that got me hooked was Fox. I asked a few questions here and there and he answered all of them and I was thinking, "Man this guy is pretty smart...". So I stuck around to see what I could learn.

It was Danrak the man himself in my case. But then.. I wasn't really needing help with a PC issue, rather an escape from another tech website. So this is tricky..

**Fox** · 11-04-2005, 08:46 PM

Mine goes waaaaaaay back.

The list includes:

Danrak, Speedo, DJ Specs, Drupy, Sealy, Johnwill, Waltside (at the time "Bob Vila"), merlin, Der Rabe, DaTruMasta, Doonz... the list goes on and on.

Same here...same case....was contacted by Danrak late one night in a PM saying "I'm starting my own tech site...wanna help me out?" I couldn't resist...in fact, Danrak, DJ and myself were the charter members here.
Made many great friends here as well!

Those were the days.. our community was so small back then, lots of free time, it was a blast! Right MT?

**Speedo** · 11-05-2005, 05:17 PM

What about Valiant, seems like he just went poof into the night.........

**Fox** · 11-05-2005, 08:47 PM

Yeah, he was (in)famous for being our youngest moderator...until I came along

Had some very artistic ascii though, if I remember correctly.
