+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted November 5, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted November 5, 2012 Remember when Tom Warren left Neowin to start WinRumours? A similar move happened today: Brad Sams is leaving Neowin to start his own site. I'm sure an official Neowin announcement is to follow. http://www.winsyde.com/welcome-to-winsyde/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdsams Veteran Posted December 2, 2012 Veteran Share Posted December 2, 2012 Wow! Not sure how I missed this post. Anyways, I stepped down after having spent 6.5 years running around and creating content for everyone to read. I can't stress enough that this was a personal decision and has nothing to do with any drama on the backend. In fact, the site is stronger than ever with traffic being exceptionally high. My goal was to leave the site better than when I found it, and I believe I succeeded at doing that :) I started Winsyde as more of a personal site to follow Microsoft and to write some content that generally did not site well with Neowin readers...such as content like this http://www.winsyde.c...o-smokes-crack/ or http://www.winsyde.c...d-scope-report/ When applicable, I try to add more opinion and flavor to the posts as well which Neowin readers didn't seem to fond of me doing. At the end of the day, I take a different approach to what I was doing here with a mashup of the old engadget style and a bit of tenacity for those who spread bad information. It's fun adventure for me and knowing I left Neowin with my head held high and having passed along the correct contacts to the current staff, there is plenty of room on the 'net for another Microsoft site. garwin 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scumdogmillionaire Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Why does this site now go to some crappy windows observer site? Someone take over your domain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Well, I wish him luck, unless the wave on Neowin is one of hate, in which case, I hope he crashes and burns :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrack Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Why does this site now go to some crappy windows observer site? Someone take over your domain? Yeah..What is going on? Is the name of the site Windows Observer? Because that is where all the links take me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted December 13, 2012 Veteran Share Posted December 13, 2012 Tip, if you want a site to close shop a month later (2 for 2 now), have someone do a metro theme for it :D b10h4z4rd and Charisma 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
