+John. Subscriber¹ Posted January 14, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 14, 2015 After what I reckon must be 2 years, I'm back in the game on here. So what's changed around here? Anything major? Front page looks nice and the forums are a lot fresher than I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well you missed out on a new law imposed here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1241670-2015-random-text-thread/page-35 1. Anyone who leaves neowin must pay the first person to respond to their thread ONE MILLION DOLLARS And of course you CANNOT MISS OUT ON NEOWINs MOST IMPORTANT POLL DOGS VS CATS https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1225743-official-dogs-vs-cats/page-128 The Evil Overlord, +John. and Victor Rambo 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted January 14, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted January 14, 2015 Aside from people shamelessly promoting their threads (looking at you, Draconian Guppy ) I don't think all that much has changed in 2 years other than the site getting a facelift. Watch out for pictures and videos though, profanity is no longer tolerated (in fairness it never was, but we're being a bit more aggressive with the stance now.) Welcome back! Mind me asking what caused the hiatus? And the return? You can tell us that you missed our love, we won't get clingy about it.

No no, the dog vs. cat poll is a neowin collective to determine who loves what and why they hate the other But ok, I started that thread... However if we were to be technical on thread starters, Guess who started this one: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1241670-2015-random-text-thread/#entry596701376 So i'm shamelessly promoting Your thread! :rofl: The Evil Overlord and Victor Rambo 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeMaster Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Welcome back! Not that I know you since I wasn't here when you were active. Also, following Guppy's & Nick's suggestions is recommended, although Nick seems to have forgotten that in late 2013 & early 2014 that profanity was allowed in the Random Threads, as Neobond even stated at the time that it was. Obviously now it's not allowed, but it was for a couple months. Victor Rambo and Draconian Guppy 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted January 15, 2015 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks for the heads up regarding the profanity etc. Nick, to be honest there isn't really a single reason. Life got in the way I guess. My Neowin bookmark in Chrome never actually left, just got pushed off the page with snippets from work and home, but I had a good clear out over the new year and recognised that familiar 'N', and here I am! Guppy, would you accept PayPal? hackdoom and Draconian Guppy 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted January 15, 2015 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 15, 2015 I gotta say as well the news on the front page is so much better than before. Maybe it's just me but I remember years ago there'd be one story a day that was at least 3 days old? Great improvement Marshall 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I know I'm hardly a regular contributor in that or the previous ones. Nick, to be honest there isn't really a single reason. Life got in the way I guess. My Neowin bookmark in Chrome never actually left, just got pushed off the page with snippets from work and home, but I had a good clear out over the new year and recognised that familiar 'N', and here I am! Fair play to you. I've had times where I thought I would be needing a break for a while. These days though I think my Internet usage is quite limited. Pretty much the only site that is always, without fail, open in a tab is Neowin. Anyway, welcome back again! +John. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life got in the way I guess. Aye... been there... My Neowin bookmark in Chrome never actually left, just got pushed off the page with snippets from work and home, but I had a good clear out over the new year and recognised that familiar 'N', and here I am! Guppy, would you accept PayPal? Sadly, We the Council for high brides, only accept bitcoins, you know, for our own safety. Heh, while I may have been the thread starter that is only because I was tasked to do it for this year. You and I know I'm hardly a regular contributor in that or the previous ones. Fair play to you.

Ok, so now that we now what the problem is, how about you and I do something about it?
