I joined because I needed desperate help as I had succesfully deleted the administrator account on my XP box leaving only a guest account. I stuck around because Neowin was the only site to produce a solution and then I discovered the SD&A forum. It took me a while to realize that BPN is where I would grow and even longer to discover that we had a front page where I could be most useful

I was a guest in Neowin for ages using the forums to help me find answers for the studies I was doing at TAFE.

My first ever post was when hotmail upgraded to 250MB

I got 446 replies to that thread so that was a nice way to start out on Neowin since then I’ve had a strong belief that forums go both ways you should help out others as much as possible as well as ask questions of other people.

Don't specifically remember, but it had something to do with the as-yet-to-be-released Windows XP. Of course, back then, things weren't so strict, so it probably had to do with the leaked volume license copy that got out a month before XP hit the shelves...

Someone told me it was possible to apply other themes to XP by patching a file and I did a search that brought me to Neowin. I downloaded the patch and a theme but can't remember what the theme was. It might have been Luna Element.

I think my first post was a thread I created asking where to locate a driver or BIOS update for an old computer I had that I was re-building to give a friend.

I found neowin many years ago (probably around 2001 or 02) from an affiliate banner at the www.the-ctrl-alt-del.com news site.

I visit neowin back from then, but I never bothered to get into the forums

My first post was a noob post about Microsoft coming round my door because I used XP

Until now, you'll be hooked from this day forward!

I first saw Neowin in July 2004 (don't ask me how it took so long to find it!), being linked from another forum, which has now closed down. However, I was addicted to using that forum and didn't want to get addicted to another so I didn't sign up. Then I read on a blog that Luna Element 1 was released, and the blog post linked to Neowin, so I signed up then... I think it's safe to say I'm addicted to Neowin, like most of us here
