That's when the fit hit the shan @ Sysopt and TechIMO was started by the same dude who owned Sysopt (Scott)....and so the great migration of Oct. 2001 occured and post counts restored.

Well, there is a "standard" of what basics works best among tech. sites and websites in general.

IMO, this site looks a lot different than Sysopt.

actually I think its very different *shrug* just my opinion...
I like this better
As wart mentioned that is the time of the trail of tears...
We were all very upset at the situation of SysOpt...
But I figure forgive and forget... we are just different sites now

No not at all!

Scott had to start from scratch and recode everything. There are similarities because Scott changed to the new BBS software before getting word of his untimely layoff. The entire site is new and much more developed comparatively.

Basically, the old site's heart and soul was found in its membership which gathered because of the leadership core of the site and their dedication to a good, clean and fair forum with great, timely information. It was also one of the first pioneering sites to fully cover overclocking. When Scott and the rest of the staff was forced to leave, the rest of us were compelled to follow since the site was not the reason for going there. It was the people who began with the leadership. (I speak of myself as a user and poster instead of a mod because I am a veritable newbie to the site compared to the peopel I am really speaking about here).

Scott began restoring some ppl's registration date. Hence mine saying something liek Sept 99. He found that to be kinda time consuming, so he just concentrated on names, profiles and post counts.

So, in a nutshell, this is not a cut and paster. It was alot of work and truly shows the dedication of the top brass of the site and the visitors for banding together and regrouping here.

it's so cute how everybody is so loyal to scott. yo you said scott got layed off, does that mean that Sysopt was not exactly his (legaly speaking)?

is this site solely owned by scotty then or is it part of some big company...?

Not all of us came with the move from systpop (Doc's spelling - I kinda like it ). I lurked a bit at systpop before finding TechIMO. Hence my later sign-up.

Personally I don't visit systpop anymore because it offers me nothing I can't get here (except being ignored or bored).
