1000 Posts Later.... And I'm Still Here

[Mystic Mungis]

I've been using Neowin for about 4 years now, for a while I was a lurker but just over a year and a half ago I decided to join the forums. I usually start using a forum but then either get bored of it or find that the members are ass hats but I've just hit 1000 posts. I wanted to make a quick tread just saying what's kept me here and what I find so different about this forum to others.

First and foremost are the other members, I find that a lot of respect is shown to others on here (well with a few exceptions) which is a big deal as having a forum full of flame wars is just no fun so respecting others opinions goes a long way, in my books, to making a great forum. I also find that the forums are pretty much open, other places I've felt shunned because there were little groups of friends and if others commented in a thread that one of them had made they would either ignore you or mock you, never once have I had that feeling on Neowin which is nice.

I also find that the wide range of topics keeps me here, I can go from tech news, to religion, to someone's real life drama and then even get Warwagoned once in a while if I'm in the mood. This helps to keep my attention as reading the same kinds of threads over and over becomes so boring, I honestly can spend hours on here, in fact the new content page is my most viewed web page!

It's not the most important thing but I love the design of the forums (and the whole site in general), I think that Pegasus looks awesome and having something nice to look at while browsing is always a plus. I also like that there are customisable options so that, for instance, if I got bored of the background I just need to go change it and then it feels all new again.

I could go on and on but I'd end up waffling and I don't want it to be a case of "tl;dr" :p Basically what I want to say is this achievement is more yours than mine, I never thought I'd have a post count that was 4 figures but Neowin proved me wrong. Thanks for all the news, laughter, drama, cooking tips, beer recommendations, well... you get the drift! :)

Congratulation. It gets challenging to stay here after a while with life pulling you this way and that.
