Something I've always been curious about is the ratio of men to women. Seems to be a LOT more men than women on this (and the old) forum, or is it just that user names don't really reflect gender?
Rather typical of geek forums. And I'd hazard a guess that most of the women here lurk a lot more than post.
All the forums I frequent skew heavily male. Computers, cars, sports.
As for me, I was looking through my oldest posts at the old forum - they date back to Dec 99, which is when I settled on my current handle. I remember the great forum crash, and how you didn't need to register. Looking back on some of those old posts is a blast from the past.
Some things that I posted about - Iomega Buz, SCSI CD-writers, the iXMicro Ultimate Rez deal, buying tips from onsale.com... I even found one that referenced "Cyberian Outpost." Before they were Outpost.com, before they were bought by Fry's. Remember those good old days? Free (or was it just incredibly discounted) next day shipping on everything!
