This site
I cannot stress enough how incredible this site is. The amount of work, help, frustration, and fun that goes on around here is incredible. The regulars and moderators here that consistantly help others and guide them through their problems are the most generous and helpful people I've run into.
I'm not trying to kiss any butt in this post
just figured this was the only way I could thank you all at once. I've had numerous questions already, most have been answered and if not, directions were pointed to follow up on. The knowledge base in this community is incredible, allowing the regular user to pick up on and learn about so much in a little amount of time, and then start fights with his friends over how nVidia is terrible and ATi rules, or how you can save hundreds by overclocking and then rubbing it in friend's faces that have bought the $2500 POS that you can still outperform. ....not that I do that or anything.
But back to the matter at hand, I would like to thank all the people around here that make owning a computer...or at least windows operating systems, that much less stressful and painful. Everything from the amazing 4 or 5 guys in the secruity forums for the endless HiJack This threads, to the quick response time in the Emergency Help forums, to the knowledge in the overclocking forums, to the "humor" in the pub. Thrax does amazing work when I consistantly bother him on AiM, Geeky always makes sure to show me his latest post that gets him into trouble with shorty, prime, or mediaman, and the countless others who actually give a damn about other people's computer problems, no matter how menial, noobish, or advanced that question might be. All and all I don't think you can design a better site from the start to end up being what short-media is today. And after all that NONE of you expect anything in return, aside from another folding box, which is a whole new thank you in itself for the dedication you put into a worthy cause. So once again, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say
THANK YOU!

Great job to all with whom take the time to help.
After sticking around a little longer you will see it just flows from this place. I have been proudly associating myself with these fine folks for almost 4 years now and have seen some outstanding examples of what you speak of. So I hope you are comfortable, have your feet kicked up on top of the sub under your desk (no, not that wench we sent you
Oh yea, welcome!!!!
/me looks for folding badge or signature in Night's post.....doesn't see one....
Dexter...
Well spoken.
I have actually tried that once or twice, the look on his face is priceless.
Note: My friend actually thought, he could kick serious ass with his puny FX5200.
haha YES!!@!#ihsjbnsajfdboiasudf23
This is the only community that I've <i>wanted</i> to stay a part of for so long. The members are spectacular, the mods aren't power-grabbing lunatics.. They're just friendly. I rarely come here to get help, but when I do, I know there's someone who can answer my pleas or think of the things I didn't. And when I come here otherwise, I know that there are people who can use what I know, and I feel honoured to help them get their computer in tip top shape.
Well, grow larger certainly.
It's nice to see the pub get a mention too, it's the heart of the community is the pub, well known fact that.
The help I've recieved here is beyond price because it's freely given and the folks here are special people because of that.
Welcome NIGHTS, stick around and enjoy.
We couldn't say it any better than what Bothered, Thrax and all the others have said.
I have been to a lot of forums for a variety of reasons and even though there are some top quality forums out there, Short-Media stands out as a cut above the rest.
Like Bothered said:"The help I've recieved here is beyond price", and "the folks here are special people because of that" sums it all up.
It's unbelievable that there are so many with such a great sense of humour too, not just knowledge.
And then there is the Folding team. w00t. Very dedicated and helpful too.
Glad we joined Team #93.
