With the closure of a certain other forum we've seen a steady rise in forum members. Nows the time to introduce yourself and let us know a little bit about you.

Two major forums have closed recently, come to think of it...
Well, to start ...
I'm Graeme - I work at Kustom PCs and my role is to offer sales and customer service advice (although by email typically and not through the forum). I'm also in charge of the website upkeep, and can be contacted to discuss possible new products in the store (you can raise ideas in the 'Product Suggestions' forum for this).
As well as being (obviously) interested in computers and case modding, I like playing guitar and have an interest in cars, so I'll often be lurking in the Music and Cars forums :)
Hello, I'm Sharky, currently sports mod (Please post there :) ) and general helper guy, although the others usually beat me to the answer :P
I'm intrested in computers (dur!!) and the usual things like almost all sports and anything involoving drinking :). I'm currently a student in CArdiff Uni so have lots of free time to post on the forums
Pop in to say Hi if you are a new member, and enjoy your stay :D
See Graeme beat me to it :/

Hi,
I'm Adam and I am Big.
Unlike the other mods I enjoy sleeping during the hours of darkness so can be found around here mostly during office hours.....until my bosses cotton on at least.
Apart from a spot of PC-tinkering, I'm into Home Cinema (legit stuff, not HTPC) and at the weekends I can be found stripping in my new house.........paint and wallpaper, that is.

Hello everybody, I'm Brenda from Wilmore, Kentucky in the heart of Bluegrass country, USA.
I have a son, daughter & 2 of the sweetest grandsons ever created :D can't help chuffing a bit here!
I joined the forum recently because I'm learning enough to build my very first computer...so tho u may not feel it, I'm gently pickin' ur brains a bit every day, lol.
Working nights as an Orthodontic lab technician makes it possible for me to sync europe time :) ( lucky me) and read the posts frequently.
Besides wirebending & making retainers, I enjoy chocolate, beer, D2 , UO and brilliant people (Kustom forum seems to have in abundance)
Other interest are hiking, camping, fishing, shooting bow & rifles...errr, that's about it...Blessings!
I'm James,
Been hanging around this forums for a long time, since March 2001!
Was at one point top in the post count, but that was a long old time ago :)
Just finished University and noticed that the grad schemes are hard to get in to. Specialise in programming, but I'm pretty good with most things to do with computers. Thinking of writing some short stories at the mo whilst I am unemployed to see if I can bolster my income.
Recently becme a Kustom customer with my first purchase, spent around £280 at Kustom in the past few weeks.

Hi im
<---
Been posting here for several months, used this place as home away from the other home. Bought some nice stuff in your trading rooms and from the store :)
Ive found scots to be very trustworthy and all round decent traders
oh and btw the forum is back but only if you look hard enough ;)
PJ Matthews
13-08-2003, 22:02
I know the forums back but not that many people have found it again unfortunately. The rules are still a little restricting seeing as theres no store left but maybe this will change. Also a decision needs to be made on its future, as if people are to stay its going to need a good review web sites to do with it otherwise people are likely to stray.
PJ
Well we are in the process of sorting a lot of stuff at the moment to ensure the long standing future of the forums. We had a very good community with the store but i reckon without it we will be going strong. (i hope) :)
I cant wait til my trading rooms are bustling with sales again.
There are a couple of review sites that i know of that i hope will be happy to link to the forums but we will have to see.
For now we have some mods and members to thank for there donations towards hosting and licence fee's.
In the words of a raver.. we will never die :p
Jeez it's like going on a training course where at the beggining you have to say who you are and where you work etc. :D I'm usually late so get to skip that bit, I've been posting here for a while without introducing myself so I guess it's kinda the same thing :cool:
Anyway, I'm Paul, 33, live in a small village in Kent which noones ever heard off, work for myself as a network/pc support engineer, interests apart from computers including music, playing guitar, motorbikes, good food, erm that's about it for the mo.

I am the Wolf....
- The Wolf enjoys speaking in third person
- This makes the Wolf feel special
- The Wolf is 17 and is generating this mind-bending bout of idiocy through the awesome power of insomnia
- Bow before the Wolf as he destroys your brain cells
- Going by the theory of intellectual osmosis the Wolf is assuming you've reached the mental level of a 3 day old spider monkey by now
...uhh..yeah...:rolleyes:

Hi, I'm Slamdog.
Pigboy and a few others will run screaming now that I am here, telling you to lock up your daughters, and hide the mucky DVD's
I am outspoken, controversial, pedantic, perverted, obstroperous, insane and generally a nice bloke to know.....
To keep in line with the AA type introductions....
I am Slamdog and I am a Deviant.
oh yeah... I drive HGV's for a living after getting fed up of being a freelance IT contractor. A lot less stress and all the sysadmins here know what I mean!
I also run my own forums (no blatant pimping cos it is a bit naughty) and do a bit of modding as well. I am planning my next project which involves a lot of UV and large quantities of UV reactive paint.
I will admit to modding a case for my 2 kids.... a barbie pink standard steel case....
Welcome to the forums Slamdog:)
Takes b***s to own up to making a pink barbie rig:D:D:D

Afternoon!
My real name is Sven, I'm 20, and live near Gatwick (well, about 20 miles from it, but it's the only thing down south you Scots will prob have heard of :D )
I'm off to uni in 14 days to do Computer Games Programming - guess what I enjoy doing ;) :p
Been working for 2 years since college, doing really boring repetetive data entry for some medical companies.
I don't have a drinking problem.
I am however addicted to buying pointless gadgets (Like Kynoch's keyfob :p) and have just got into discovering my creative side with Photoshop - I made this a few weeks ago:

Hello, I'm Theo. I am currently dancing to Spandau Ballet whilst wearing only a pair of jeans. I had nice long hair until last month, when I had a bad hair day and decided to cut it all off. I regret that now. Yes, I do.
I've been casemodding and building computers since around 2 months after I bought a Packard Bell P100 quite a few years ago... *shudders*
Anyhoo, I was just browsing the kustompcs site, and saw the forums link, so decided to sign up. Looking forward to posting here regularly :)
