Overclock.net is celebrating its fifth anniversary on March 21st and it's time to celebrate! What better way to celebrate than to give out some cash and a few prizes?

More on this after a little bit of reflection

What an amazing five years it's been. From our tremendous growth, to our wonderful reputation as a friendly, professional place for enthusiasts to discuss the pursuit of performance - our once tiny community has turned into one of the best on the web.

Each of you should be so proud of your contributions both directly and indirectly to the community. It's amazing what can be done when you get a bunch of people with a passion for performance altogether. Just look at the tremendous progress of our Folding@Home team which is now #10 in the world!

The future looks even more promising for Overclock.net as a whole. There was once a time when Overclock.net development was nimble and members were often pleasantly surprised in small additions to the site often occurring. Let's just say we want to get back to this place and are doing what it takes to get there. I am personally tired of typing things here and, as of the last year +, things not occurring in a relatively timely manner. So, I will let action speak - and not mention much more now.

So with that all being said - it is time to celebrate!

So here is how it will work:

How do you enter?
Post in this thread, one great memory you have had here at Overclock.net. You can post multiple times, but only one time will count.

When can you enter?
Now! Contest closes March 22nd - but enter as soon as you can for more chances to win!

Who can enter?
Any current member of Overclock.net - including non-admin staff.

What you can win on March 21st?
Hourly Prize #1: $25 via PayPal
Hourly Prize #2: Overclock.net first of production T-Shirt (will ship when ready - they have not been produced yet)
Hourly Prize #3: Overclock.net applique pack (will ship when ready - they have not been produced yet)
Grand Prize: $250 via PayPal

Due to some time zone restrictions, some hourly prizes may be awarded all at one time.

All winners will be selected at Random via Randomized.com

Good luck to everyone! I personally can't wait for another great 5 years!

Happy Birthday OCN

My fondest memory of OCN is when my Dad used the site to gain as much info as he could to buy me a brand spankin' new C2D rig as a present for doing so well in my end of school exams. Thanks the great advice of members, I now have a great rig that does all I need it to.

Before I visited OCN, I'd never seen inside a PC, I now take mine apart and rebuild it for fun, and I bet I'm not the only one!

Thanks to all the members, past and current.
