Well you see I was out walking my girlfriends sisters dog when I noticed that in the distance there was this weird light so I approached it to find out what was generating such a huge light when I passed by an old cinema complex that was only airing one film so I went inside to watch it when I met a friend of mine there and then he was telling me about this time his brother and him were at the gym doing their usual workouts and then he saw this bear casually walking past the outside window so he walked outside and saw a sheriff who told him that the bear was set free because the owner decided it would be healthy for the bear to get some air but in actual fact it wasn't a real bear but a convict who was trying to escape from prison as he once stole bread from an expensive bakery and then was sent on a ship to a foreign country but didn't know how to speak the language so he decided to take lessons but when he met his teacher he discovered that it was his true love and the two of them which are now good friends of mine said "Oh hey you should check out this site called Neowin it's really cool!"

It's been quite awhile so I honestly have noooooo idea.

Actually, James Tingle recommended neowin to me in 2000 and I was a member then, but because of joining the *** I wasn't on the Internet for a couple of years and missed out and rejoined after leaving in 2006 and been a member ever since. I do recall Mr. Parker getting a little hot under the collar because neowin.net just exploded onto the sense and aggressively expanded. I am 99.9% sure at one point neowin did close their doors and then decided to come back.

I think the webpage was grey with a light grey window stating that neowin has closed and a brief statement from Steve stating the reason for closing. I was gutted at the announcement but it was short lived as neowin was back and the only other time it's been off line was when one of the servers got a little wet.

I lost touch with James and last I heard he was doing a Masters Degree in Mathematics (which gives me a migraine just thinking about it) and was trying to sail around the coast... neowin as we know it now is nothing compared to neowin in 2000. It's a former shadow of itself, fully HTML5 and CSS3 with one of the best front end websites on the Internet.

I just remembered James T software, it was called Virtualnews, god that brings back memories. I was a client of Virtualnews as well and owned a license as well.
