This thread is for users posting their journey through the days, months, or years in this online, virtual world, tech forums and everything else. Keep it like a journal, and I would like to start off with the first page!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Journey with tech and online encounters(other than downloading small game demos at 5-7 Kb/s with my dial-up connection) truly started in 2008, although the primary factor behind it was my encounters with the "CHIP" magazine over the years since 2004, and finally "ThinkDigit", for which I took an immense liking, and now finally I can say I read both the mags almost every month.
So yeah, 2008 started with CHIP.in forums, what a start, I was soo excited. It felt good to help put (although in the beginning I was a notorious idiot who irritated more than helped), eventually I started making better contributions.
My biggest contribution goes as "Hardware News Thread", which can still be found in the CHIP forum sticky. Why my name is not listed as author? A loong story.
Well, with great enthusiasm, I started the Hardware News Thread, a first of it's kind in these forums, and if you look closely, you might find today, "Software News Thread", "Gaming News Thread", our very own "CPU/GPU News Channel" all inspired by the start which I created.
Now, unfortunate turn of events took place. I once saw that thread, after about a year, become "un-stickied". I asked a MOD who gave a stupid reason saying I was spamming and increasing my post count using that thread. PLEASE! What a childish mind that guy has.
At first I was confused, which contributed to RAGE, after which I quit the CHIP.in forum for good and joined to good folk at TDF. Now if you look closely, you see the Author listed as "erif", not many days since I went in-active.
That was the BIGGEST reason I never went back. I just couldn't believe what I saw, the THREAD was BACK STICKIED, but I was stripped out as author, AFTER ALL I HAD DONE. That was it, I was in a bad mood. BUT, TDF, you folks, are so, soo good. I remember the main guys at that time, topgear, desiibond, ico too, you guys were the best people I could ask for in a forum. We were friends. I found friends online, a world I was convinced was full of devious, opportunistic, idea-stealers only.
Thank you friends.
So, here, I think you all are aware that I started off with the "Latest Prices !!!" thread in 2008, and pretty soon, I was keeping an up-to-date tab of prices across a RANGE of hardware, and suggesting to my best ability, back in 2008 and 2009, rigs to everybody. Maybe start of 2010 too I believe.
New users, you can call me Jaswanker Singh before he joined TDF, only Jas is soo much better, amazing guy!
Now, unfortunate events took place again, and this time, I WAS DEVASTATED. To find one day, that my THREAD was TAKEN OVER AGAIN, by another great mind, 2nd time, was too much for me. I RAGED AGAIN, and QUIT, it was too much to take, and if anybody else had been in my place, they would have written sooo much more than what I did here, and to think I actually apologized and quietly left this forum for what I thought was good.
I was sad why? because after 1 and a half years of input, a person isn't supposed to be allowed to come and RENAME MY THREAD, PUSH MY WORK DOWN, AND PUT HIS OWN WORK AT THE TOP OF HIS PAGE.
If only you had asked for permission, I wouldn't ever say NO, after all it's for everybody's good.
I found out the THREAD has the same title as the Great Mind's thread back at CHIP.in, which made me a bit confused as to what this guy was thinking, WORLD TECH FORUM DOMINATION **** and all (I know crazy thoughts me!).
But we all know where it stands right now, the Thread at TDF is far FAR more popular, with 251,000 views +, compared to 93,000 views only. Trust me guys, had I wanted, I would have gone to post this entire thread in other forums too. But you know WHY I didn't? Because I meant this thread to be a TDF exclusive from the start, I want you all guys to know that.
Anyways, there ended TDF, I was truly let down by the 2nd home I thought I was in. Techenclave, or TE, where I was already active, became my place. Trust me, I was bugging and notorious there too! And still am, but I help out people, get a laugh, give a laugh as often as I can! It's by pure interest and no obligation or something!
But, a month or so prior to today, one person from TDF and common to TE, came to me (PM) and asked me about what happened, and why I should let go and come back. We had a laugh about some .. bah forget that guy, and I thank him, for he is one reason I came back, thinking, "What the Hell!", I'll do what I have to, don't care about who steals anything from me this time!
The rest is, well you guys know. Back and active at TDF and if feels great!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have read this entire post, I hope you understand why I raged and it was circumstances which forced me, not once, but twice, and 2nd time was HARD, hence my hate post as many of you might remember.
I just felt this is something I had to do, write it, let you all know.
Thank you.
