Just your friendly Neigborhood dragon swooping on in.

Fled OCN like everyone else because it's pretty dead. Well that and my display name was gendered and I figured out I'm a trans lesbian. These days I do nutty stuff like OCing ram by 50%, modding the snot out of my gear to make it run faster, and snuggling my girlfriends.

Most of my hardware is bodged together one way or another, ex: mobo on Wrath is using a laptop CPU heatsink for the chipset because the fan annoyed me.

Welcome

 

A lot of us are OCN runaways so you're bound to see a few familiar faces.

I was trying to figure out what happened to OCN. Ended up being on r/Overclocking discord for a while, got tired of that, and focused on the fandom and scrambling up the career ladder for a while instead.

Welcome.  It died because I left. 

And yeah, you'll find that's EXACTLY why most of us are here.  Got tired of reddit tier content, so instead we'll just make our own!

I'll let you and our resident gamer girl @Fluxmavenfight to the death for the title.

A lot of things happened to OCN... Not going into all that lol 

 

Part of it is just that internet forums in general are less popular than they were a decade ago. A lot of people switched to things like Reddit and discord. 

 

Which we do have a discord server as well. 

 

As Pio pointed out a lot of us got tired of low effort content so we came here.

Given that my OC is canonically 3 quarters of a ton of combat cybernetics, 7.5' tall, and has 6 arms, it's going to be one hell of a fight.

[GanjaSMK]

Welcome!

 

I also fled OCN in the last year and haven’t looked back.

 

I was there for maybe 10 years…ish but would be off and on. In fact when I was on hiatus from forums (3-4 years) and then went back to OCN in ~2018, the first people to help me get back into PC hardware were the same individuals that are now here. Speaks volumes eh?

 

ExtremeHW is the only forum I use because there is a good community driven by passionate members and I also find the more you put in, the more you get out of it.
