Neowin is a good example of why I love to use forums.

Ah, other forums. What's the point of having a community where the minority of people can't express their opinion? There is no progress, only stagnant fanboy-ism and piety. Nothing more than cheering the heroes and booing the villains.

Neowin doesn't have fanboys. There are no white knights that step in to defend the administration if they are criticized.

Administrators here love critique, they love to listen and improve. That is why neowin is so great. And I find it unique that a forum is like that.

Also the moderators on staff have historically been very fair and understanding. They are staunch and liberal and I'm surprised to see that their is almost no censorship here.

Very often is their any deleting here. Nor moving. It's simply a warning just in case it were to happen.

This forum is a haven of intellectual progress by far. Surpassing any educational institution I have seen.

Neobond we should be paying YOU tuition.

Over the years Neowin has been a haven for entertainment and troubleshooting for me. It's my one stop shop for answers. I've even recomended people I know sign up and use the forum as its so handy.

Even the 1 post wonders make it entertaining

We all make it what it is.

It's certainly one the best out there...compared to, say, the Gamespot forums. Oh god...I cringe every time I look at their message boards; ****ing retards or children who can't make complete sentences bitching about the tiniest details of IRRELEVANT issues.

...yeah, neowin's good...

Amen to that. Neowin is freaking great. It's much better than say, on NZ's GPStore comment section. I lol every time I see that. Especially the Tags for 360 and PS3 products, and Halo 3 etc..."ps3 killer", "xbox sucks", "die microsoft", "sony fails", stuff like that. Epic win. Newin's good for stuff like that. Rock on Neowin!

I have been searching for my main PC related forum for a few weeks now after getting into PC gaming/upgrading etc. And have to say, this forum has the most eye pleasing graphics, the largest array of subjects/boards, and isnt dominated with hot-headed teens who chat rubbish.

All in all, a great forum!

There are limits to "opinion expressing" just so you know :D

Neowin doesn't have fanboys. There are no white knights that step in to defend the administration if they are criticized.

They just haven't reared their ugly head yet. But there are fanboys. I have to say Neowin is one of the better moderated forums though.

Otherwise, welcome to the forums. :)

aww thanks :blush: but you guys really make the community, all we do is provide the means and try to keep the peace. Listening to your community is what every forum should be about because we gave this to you to build upon.

can we have our cookies now? :p

Just to re-iterate what I put in my blog, Neowin is like an old pair of pants, you get new ones come along but you always go back to the best, most comfortable pair.

I don't agree with the no fanboys comment either, but I've grown kind of used to that and don't take it as seriously as I once did, hehe. I think I've moved on to mostly similing at those kind of posts instead. :) Especially when it's old and tired arguments being used.

Yes, Neowin is an example of a quite encompassing community that covers so many subjects, way beyond Windows that one may think at first sight and hearing the name. What I like seeing most are those funny threads that sometimes pop up, heh. Oh, and being early on informing myself on computing news. While the journalism may be more or less "amateurish" at times (not automatically a bad thing though), the news often come quickly and accurately.

    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
    • On my music making (non internet) PC Sony Acid Pro 7.0 Adobe Audition 2015 Korg Legacy Collection Windows 7 SP1
    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
