SoCalRox Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I found the site when it was fairly new, but didn't register for the forums until later. Lost my profile name, and re-registered a bit later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Ride Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I needed help with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, i build a new computer and purchased the software to install on the system. I could not get Media Center to work at all, so i took to the internet to find a solution and came across Neowin. After taking my newly built system to a computer shop, and them installing drivers for my TV Tuner card and charging ?40 for the privilage, i sought info from Neowin and deiscovered i needed a decent Graphics Card for Media Center to work properly, once i did this i had all of the bells and wistles and i was then a proud user of Media Center Edition 2005.

cork1958 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Can't vote as the only search engine you listed is Google. I don't think Google was even around when I found this place!! Even if it was, I didn't use it much then and still don't! Probably found it through http://www.altavista.com/ search though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Through google, I was looking for different things and at least on three searches it came on first page and I said, oh this must be an interesting forum, and joined :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o Ginja Ninja o Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I was looking through Wikipedias list of the the biggest Forums, and Neowin was the only one using IP. Board. For me, IP. Board > all Forum Software so I had to sign up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohn64 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi , I joined to see if I could get some answers that I don't seem to be able to find anywhere else. BigJohn64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuchOfDeath Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Long-time JCXP visitor here, and when that wonderful site went down I simply stopped forum-ing. I ended up reading the Front Page of Neowin for a while recently and I guess the forum itself seemed solid enough, so I bit the bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvatar Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 If I remember it was linked to by an article by Digital Dave over on the old win98central.com I had a prior account from 2002-ish but I didn't end up liking the name so I made a new one.

OOOOOOOO Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yup yup...was gonna mention part of the Magic Key, but didn't know if anyone would hit the panic button... I remember that :D lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:: Lyon :: Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ugh..good question.. I forgot where I knew Neowin from but to me, it's the best tech community out there. It looks great, there are plenty of threads, and admins don't just ban you like they want to show their power off :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am0nrahx Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I voted Google but I really found it via StumbleUpon. I stayed because I saw the amount of forums and that you had a tech and game section! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habeascoffee Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I was reading a story posted by Violetblue about how Neowin's Facebook page had been shuttered. She mentioned that it was a pretty worthy news site so I gave it a look. I'm impressed with what I've seen. Enough so, that I joined the forums. :) It was part "EFF YOU!" to Facebook and the ass-hat that created the issues there, and partly my interest in computers that drove me to check out the community. Cheers to everyone! :pint: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phendrome Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I found Neowin via Google. I was looking for a site that brings me technology news, because I wasn't satisfied with the sites I was currently visiting for these kind of news and forums. I've been visiting this site for a good while now, but only until now, I decided to become a part of the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garychencool Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I didn't find Neowin, Neowin found me! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipeters61 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I noticed that a lot of the time when I looked for information about technology, I landed on Neowin. It seemed to be an accepting and well-rounded community, so I figured I'd join in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoLdFuSi0n Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I found this site way back in the the early days when someone was spamming it on a dalnet IRC channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
