I love this forum, I've only been on one other forum in my life that I liked as much and that was around 20 years ago! Seriously I thought forums were dead but this one is simply great. Plenty of activity, tons of knowledge, fast answers for most questions asked along with multiple opinions each time from people with different perspectives/preferences/etc in the rc game.

I spend far more time on this forum than anything else I do with a screen.

I remember the day dad upgraded us from a 14.4k to a 56k modem. The neighbors came over to see how fast it was.

Wondering if you guys feel the same way I do..

This is probably the 123rd? (guesstimate) forum I have been 'addicted' to. Thankfully I barely ever got addicted to Social Media apps before I realized it was a plague and nuked all those apps from my phone and favorites.

lulz. I had an Atari 1600? 3200? 'PC' back in the 80's and was envious of the guys with the Commodore 64's.

My first modern PC with my Ex (late 90's IIRC) was a Dell 333mhz CPU, 64? MB (not GB) of RAM, and some tiny 128 or 256 maybe GB HDD,... with a printer and monitor, and dial up modem... I think it cost us 2.5k?

Equally addictive for me. I’ve picked up 5 RC’s since getting back into the hobby around the holidays.

This forum has been awesome and I spend a good amount of time cruising around for info. Everyone I’ve encountered has been extremely helpful, and just super nice. Completely different experience coming from the car forums where money and ego seem to rule.

So, to all of the members here, thank you for helping us noobs get up and running so we can enjoy the hobby as well!

Yes....I remember those, and they were called BBS board. I used my 1200 or 2400 baud modem to dial in. No internet but you could connect to a board to chat.

They were great, but I tied up the house line for hours

Well I suppose I was way to young to know about that at that time .I wasn't even into RC's untill I reached my twenty's.at that time I was just a high schooler and only cared about girls and shooting hoops all day and practice with varsity basketball team.didnt care about computers.just wasn't my thing.even to this day Im not a computer person .but I love RC's
