What are almost 2000 people doing just reading posts??!

Overclocking articles, news, downloading ATI tool, lurking etc.
Im sure theres HEAPs of reasons for that many people to be reading.

does anyone else find that strange/somewhat creepy?
there's us then there's about 50x as many people reading our posts!
it's just eerie...

That's not creepy to me. I hope that they find enough usefull information to either find their solution or find a reason to join like I did. I lurked for months before I joined TPU! If I'm found to be creepy by some, then oh well, becasue I'm found helpful by more (my goal)! :toast:

I think it's great that there's so many guests viewing. :toast: to TPU!

The "trouble" is TPU used to be a small community of enthusiasts from around the world...

That has changed somewhat. W1zzard's ATiTool is super famous, and the TPU "editor's choice" actually means something to manufactures seeking positive reviews. I'm looking at an ASRock board with a TPU sticker on it.

When I look at something that and say, "Wow.. and I've actually talked to W1zz on the forum." This site doesn't seem "famous" to us, but it is. People come here for all kinds of info.

errrr, their forums probably "were" popular and our quite old. Also they might have alot of spammers signed up, which never posted anything.

Definitely, I wish I had found the site sooner...I'd be so much more tech savvy by now :(
But indeed, I think it's great about the TPU approved stamp, I think you should give companies a mention about that from now on in case they hadn't though of it (though that's doubtful)
It would help get our name out there even more than it has been :)
