How did you find MacRumors?

[gauchogolfer]

I don't think Google was even around when I first found MR. Must have been some other way.

 

[Aranince]

Googled for Mac Forums

Saw tons of links on digg to apple related stuff here and eventually made my way over to the forums for advice on purchasing my MBP.

I first started thinking about switching to a Mac about a year ago and used Google to learn a bit more about Macs and the people who use them. I guess cream flows to the top when it comes to the best places to find useful information--and MacRumors has been at the top of my list since I first discovered it!

MR is older than Google??? Where is MRs millions of $$$$ and phone OS, then?

You dont even have your own internet browser!

A small white rabbit led me here.

My POS powerbook was acting up so I googled for some help and I found this site. You can't imagine how much that seemingly trivial detail ended up changing my life. </very long story very short>

And you've been on e ever since

....but not the illegal drug kind of e, obviously.

God came to me in a vision.

That wasn't God, that was Mad Jew!

I was just thinking about starting a thread about this!
well anyway, It was iPhone 3g launch day, and I was caught in the mess of apples server crash (july 11) I was pissed that I couldn't restore it, so I googled an answer. The rest was history...

 

[OutThere]

A new friend showed it to me back at the beginning of freshman year of high school (man that feels like a century ago). That was before macs became extremely popular with the 15-25 group...so I was happy to have some other mac users to talk to, as I only knew 3 or 4 in real life (these days in college everyone has a mac...I probably know 50 people with macs). I also found it to be a good outlet for my inner geek, which tends to be entirely ignored until I get on here.

 

[iFanaddic]

People on iPod touch fans were talking about it.. I started looking at it for its front page and its rumors..

I found it quite tasty and with a delightful presentation, but I didn't fancy the bell peppers.

 

[bassproguy07]

a co worker of mine was always on macrumors.....its how I read about my iphone 3G and the reason I bought. Thanks MacRumors!

 

[tMac85]

got a MBP. had no idea what it was capable of doing, so i googled some ideas "best things to do with a MBP" and this site was the first one. i kept reading and reading and reading, and then i got addicted. joined. posted. posted.posted. its kinda like drugs. one try is all it takes.


(not that i do drugs....) haha

no really.
i dont

 

[runplaysleeprun]

I found it through As the Apple Turns. God, that was one of the funniest Mac sites I've ever read, I miss it sometimes...

 

[maclover001]

i was planning to buy a MacBook Pro and so Googled "mac forum" and MacRumors was the second result. i also signed up to Mac-Forums.com but found MacRumors to be much more active and fun .

Yeah I totally agree.
Don't mean to thread-jack, but this one on Mac-Rumors is rather hypocritical

I read a few of the first post and it seemed that they don't like us and think we're unfriendly.

"Dear MacRumors,

I never believed anything that written here really happened in real life, until one day, I was surfing and... <dot dot dot>"



Seriously, Google --> Buyer's Guide. Then looked around from there and got hooked!

 

[me_94501]

I first heard about MacRumors back in 2002 during the run-up to MWSF that year. I joined the forums about a year later. I've been around a while, even though I haven't posted too much overall.

I linked here from a discussion on HowardForums.com

Google...

Is that considered a 'one word answer' that will get deleted?

 

[tinfai]

Came by this site a couple of years ago to check out the rumors of iPods that were about to be released. Probably linked here by another site.
