How did you ended up in MacRmors Forum ??:D

I joined after every Google search I did for Mac problems came up with MR.
I first started posting after I'd gotten my iPhone 4 - a year and a bit later, I'm still here :p

In fact, this is my 1,000th post exactly.
 
An 'issue' with my MacBook that turned out to be a non-issue. I thought the place was interesting so I stayed.
 
I had been having some issues with my PowerBook G4 I believe. I was an angsty sophomore in high school at the time so it's all a bit foggy. :p

It's actually been a great place, and I made a couple friends along the way.
 
I left an oppressive Mac based forum for enlightenment and the freedom of expression embraced by the MacRumors staff.

That's a very good question. I just recently started posting but for some reason joined in 2008. Probably back when I was making themes for my iPod Touch :confused:
 
back in 2007 when the iphone came out. was looking for release dates in the UK or something.

How come there is no MacRumors App in the App store?????
 
Back in 2006 i think i was in my Jr high computer lab googling something about buying a mac, i signed up and purchased my first macbook :)

I've been hooked ever since
 
I believe it was through a search that was iPod related. I lurked MR's for years (I really means several years) before finally signing up.
 
Seems like most of them are through searches and you end up on a thread.
 
I was at a different, well-known Mac forum which I liked because the repartee was zany and fast, even more so than here. But one of the mods, for whatever reason, seemed to have taken a dislike to me and kept goading me with snide remarks. He was, in short, acting like one of the trolls he was supposed to be policing.

Now, I know a lot of people play the "mean old moderator is picking on me" game, but I was well-liked at that forum. I was not a troublemaker, nor a headache to the mods. And really, I'm the same person here that I was there -- and I've been here for well over seven years without so much as a single time-out.

So anyway, after this went on a while, I decided I didn't want to keep up an ongoing textual battle with this guy at the other forum. After all, one of the prime rules of forums is "Don't feed the trolls." And let's face it, he was a mod: he wins any time he chooses to.

So I wrote a private, explanatory goodbye PM to the owner of the forum and a couple close acquaintances there, and found this place. I have to admit, I did check back a few months later and it was nice to see that some people had discussed the circumstances of my absence and said they missed me. Frankly, I miss them as well.

But this feels more like my permanent home. The mods seem very level-headed and professional, and there are certain people, like leekohler and Blue Velvet, for whom I have great respect.
 
I googled "mac forums" and searched for a site that had the most active members. I also noticed the thread counts on this forum were huge and after reading a few threads as a guest, I registered. :D
