I've been seeing a lot of people coming from Google, just wanted to get some statistics. Personally I came from Google, looking help with a printer problem, I just never left.  Couldn't stop.....Edited by Grinler: If you hear about us from a Magazine, Newspaper, or TV...please let us know which one or what show.

A Yahoo search for CHIPSstart.exe took me to a random forum page. I can't remember which one...
Like Yano, I couldn't leave. Great community, and I love anything about computers (esp Hardware...Yum...  )

While searching for a computer help forum. I just could not find one where I felt I would fit in. So I wound up lurking around one in particular, where Papakid was a member. And he would mention Bleeping Computer, from time to time. So I visited and registered. Bleeping Computer was brand new. With only a few members. So I was not to intimidated. LOL It took me a month to post for the first time. Now they can't get me to shut up.
 Thanks Papakid! For directing me, (albeit inadvertently),  to my new home away from home. And thanks to Grinler, for creating such a wonderful site.  Where would I be without Bleeping Computer? I have learned so much along the way. And have made so many friends as well. This place rocks!

I was surfing around looking for some help with my computer problems. I don't really remember exactly how I got here, but I saw some other sites and I felt more comfortable here. I have been reading your tutorials for about 2 weeks now, and trying to learn more about computers. I have always just been a user - what I knew how to do, I knew how to do. Now I realize that there is much more to learn if you really want to be effective... and have also found that it is fun and interesting - mostly, I think, because you talk to people in layman's terms instead of "computerese". Thank you for that. I will be going over to the Malware section to post my problems, and trying to help fix them won't be so scary now.

I was involved in the old Tech TV forums, and someone there mentioned BC as a good place to go at the time when G4 began to transform (read: ruin and trivialise) TechTV and its boards.
