Thrawn Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I think I found a link to it on WindowsXP.nu -> Bink.nu... Now how did I find WindowsXP.nu, That I don't remember. I did the old posts search as the thread recommended, and take a look at this web browser shell I made in two thousand frikin four, that I had forgotten about: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=205144 I think I had the Vista team beat by like three years!

Ownerizer Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I found this site through Google many years ago, and have been visiting it pretty regularly since then. As what made me register... hmm, don't really know, but I definitely should have done it a long time ago. Better late than never! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHD Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 zomg, banzors! :p It is said, that this magic number is still used. There seems to be a typo-version which is still valid. :whistle: I was searching for a very flat xp theme, found out that M? bullies, found the patcher and looked around from time to time. I assume that i will also stay a one post wonder since i hate most people and try not to communicate. What led me to this post i do not know... AHD.

roadgeek9 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I registered waaaay back in 2006. It was a sick day for me, I was sick of the incapabilities of the GMA900 to run Aero Glass. I registered on November 1, 2006 - the day my uncle sent me a copy of Vista RC2 Business (he is an IT guy), on that day I also opened up my TechRepublic account. My first posts were about Vista and the Intel GMA900, running one of the hottest topics on Neowin, right on my first day, with 30,000+ views! After that, I wasn't too active on Neowin. I would log on once every 2 weeks at most. In August 2007, I went on sort of a "posting rage" - I really wanted to get up to 250 posts. Then, I went back to being inactive. In December 2007, I came back to Neowin, and I went from ~350 posts to 1,100 posts from December 2, 2007 to January 10, 2008. Now, I am just making an average of 15 posts per day.

BinaryFragger Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I honestly don't remember, but it was most likely from a Google search or a link from another news site. Although I've only been a member since 2006, I've been reading the Neowin news and forums since 2001 or 2002. Come to think of it, Neowin and Slashdot are the only technology websites that I used to visit 7-6 years ago that I still visit to this day.
