Why 68KMLA is amazing...

[hilga007]

You know, its been so long! I can't believe I haven't checked it out after everything got back up and running. After my cancer surgery I was going to be doing lots of talking on here, and it was dead! I had to rely on... other sites, and sort of got stuck on them.

Compared to one large rumor site, this place just feels like home, since I think I had joined here when I was 14 or 15.

Nice things:

-People actually help each other here

-People are nice, and don't talk down other people's opinions

-If someone types the wrong advice, the next poster isn't a jerk when correcting the mistake

-People give other people good deals because they like helping fellow collectors

-If something is worth $50, there won't be a lowballer talking crap about the seller and the item to save $8.

-And the list goes on.

Thanks for being a great site, and members this is a big thank-you, for probably being one of the most mature, friendly computer-related message boards on the internet and for trying to keep it that way.

:b&w: :beige:

I agree this place is such a great community.

It has a warm feeling.

This seems like a place where everyone is your friend.

Places like Mac Forums and Applefritter seem so exposed and public.

[LCGuy]

Indeed, indeed. This is really the only computer forum i go to, because i'm not mentioning any names, but all the others either:

a) Got too big for my liking (this is the perfect size IMHO )

B) Became too...well...snobby/upmarketish/pretentious for my liking (i like places like this where everyone is friendly with everyone)

c) Became too Nazi-ish

d) All of the above

This forum has spared me many a boring and eventless night.

Hats? HATS?!?!?!?! Did I hear something about hats?

You know I reckon a 68KMLA hat would be a really cool idea...

 

[iMac600]

These hats are becoming a 68kMLA icon, sort of like the modern day Feets. Now I feel like I sparked a revolution...

*goes to get a drink to celebrate*

As I remember it, the secret project you were working on at the time wasn't a hat

When the hats get mentioned on LowEndMac articles then I feel that they've passed form being the insane rantings of some English dude to being a cultural icon

 

[iMac600]

Hence why I said "Sparked It"... you coined the term.

But yes, it's now somewhat of a cultural icon... the "Mac Hats". One place this could apply is on the G3/G4/G5/Mac Pro, where there's 2 "Feets" and the top handles are "Hats".

You really do need to get out more don't you

 

[iMac600]

Indeed I do, sir. :/

I've always Loved this place. The original site of the 68kMLA pretty much marks the beginning of my online life.

How has everybody been?
