How many posts did you have / how well known did you become, until you felt comfortable saying "Welcome to Neowin" to new members ?

When I join a new forum, I don't feel like it's my place with only a few posts to welcome new members, I always wait until I've got a few hundred posts at least

Kinda makes me feel like I have been invited to a friend of a friends house, and then take it upon myself to invite my own friends too :p

How about you ?

Wouldn't worry about it mate. You've been here a good few years now and even if you'd only been here a week, it's still polite to welcome people.

I do if I catch the thread before 20 people have already welcomed them, but when I join a new forum I always wait until I've been active for a good while first, I guess when it feels like I am part of the community and not a newbie anymore :)

That's me as well. When I was new here I wouldn't welcome anyone. Now, I feel like it's my place to welcome them.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Nas · Posted

      FWIW this whole 'universal printer driver' challenge has been around since the 1990's! Back in the day it was ADOBE that held the mantle via their portable document format (PDF) which provided the most fidelity between your-layout and your-printer's-capabilities. By the 2000s, Microsoft went with XML-defined formats -- namely XPS. Alongside the [possibly transient] format, and combined with USB standards, the document driver models were evolving. A new generation of hardware adopting different/outdated security models prevented Microsoft from 'forcing' the industry to utilize a single 'Universal' printer driver. Every major OS generation (and obsolescence of older hardware/vendors) moved the needle further along... until 3D Printers (esp. by mid-2010s) changed the maths again! While standard documents had attained sufficient compatibility across OS + printer scenarios (and the slow death of Fax support), there were two major shakers to the hopeful calm: open 3d model formats, and subscription-based printer resourcing (HP and Epson are mostly guilty here). With a sense of calm in the printing industries (whatever is left), there's hope for another push for standardized printer hardware drivers... until another printer hardware trend wrecks havoc and custom drivers become requirements...

      Can you tell me what the difference between the Moto G and the Moto G Stylus is? They look similar.

      They do. Nobody reads them.
