http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeowinI particularly like this quote:

If you think it is wrong, you can change it yourself. That's what a wiki is all about.
ROFL!!!!
Ahh liquid, take a joke. To argue would make it true

well, neowin was found on the basis of testing beta software, but does not allow the distribution of illegal software. however, discussion is allowed about it. i can see how they would draw a parallel, but whatever, it's not like people are going to see that and leave.

Neowin Chat
Neowin also maintains a small chatroom for real-time discussions. This java-based chatroom is usually inhabited by Michael, the most advanced chatbot known in the world. Its AI is so advanced, you'd believe you were talking to a real person.

And yet here you are browsing our forums. We're flattered you took time out of your busy schedule just to post that. The internet is a big place my friend and no one is forcing you to come here. Feel free to leave at any time. I'll be sure to let you know should anyone give a damn.

Whilst, the primary focus is Microsoft and Windows-centric, it maintains a smaller number of sub-forums for various other discussions including:
Latest technology electronic, devices, gadgets and other hardware.
Wallpapers, Icons and Windows Visual Styles
Console and PC gaming
Dicussion of real world events (primarily American-focused)
Hardware related topics, such as overclocking.
Mozilla Firefox related discussion.
Linux and Mac technology issues, even though the website as its name suggests is focused on (Neo)Windows related news.

i'm hurt that you feel the need to hide. i'm really a very nice person who cares about stuff.
i don't know if if i'm a ms fan...i just use the os and eventually hope to move to linux. however, i'm not into testing beta sw because i don't know what it would do to my computer.

Sigh, I just checked the edit lists and its been nothing but constant vandlizing over the past day or so, I'm going to be the killjoy here and put the page on "requests for protection" because all the vandalizing is really not needed =/ . If it carries on the page will probally be deleted altogether, its been put on the requests for deletion in the past
