Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

I believe it's in July @Gloom.  I know it coincides with the end of the Spring contests.  I believe July 1st is the effective date.

So my birthday isn't until tomorrow but I came home last night and my girlfriend gave me my present early!

She went and got me a nice frame for my Shogun/Gustaffson autographed shirt that I just got in the mail the other day. And she also bought my a new computer!! She got me one of those HP's that the hard drive is built into the monitor! Pretty sweet little set up now I just have to get used to using windows 8!

Your girlfriend is awesome, but Windows 8 is horrible. You know which one has to go.

Haha yeah I was playing around with it a little bit last night...I'm like where the **** is the start menu??? Then I google and see they decide to remove the start button.

I've really gotten used to using Windows 7 here at work which I really liked but Windows 8 seems pretty different. I'm sure I will get used to it, and it beats the hell out of my 10 year old computer!

Windows 8 is the ****, why do people hate on it so much?

The only thing that sucks is the random restarts, instead of freezing your computer the OS is just like '**** this' and automatically restarts...really annoying. Thank god it doesn't happen very much.

I haven't really played with it much so far it seems pretty cool but the missing start button was the only thing I didn't like so far. I just have to figure out how to get to things a different way now.

The app screen is pretty different but I prefer the desktop for now until I really learn how to use it.

If you google it you could add the start button on your desktop again.

Personally I got used to the Start Screen in a couple of weeks, I have no problem with it. The layout's real sexy too. It's Windows' attempt at being Apple-like and appealing to younger people with a sleeker, smoother design with little gimmicks.

I'm perfectly happy with 7, although I also almost entirely skipped Vista and went to 7 straight from XP. I didn't mind any stuff removed in 8 and liked some new features (specially the boot and repair/recovery), but just happy enough with 7 (and used to it too much). XP was the **** in its day though.

I still use 7 too, I always run two computers at once and 7 is still stellar even if that computer is significantly older and ****tier than my new one with 8.
