For some, maybe!

I did go a long time not being active here so although I've been a member for a long time I haven't been all that active during all of it. I probably post now a lot more than I used to but it will still take me quite a while.

 

spam the staff area ;)

eh, should also be after a certain amount of years on Neowin.  A lot of members are active, just not actively posting/replying.  Still generates revenue for the site if they visit...click on links...are shown ads.

 

There just seems to be a lot of active users viewing forums or news articles that will never reach the 25k mark.

Well it looks like I have a loooooooooong time before I reach that.

 

OFFTOPIC: How do you find out how long you have been a member for?

It says it below your avatar and profile page, for example:

posters theoreticlly generate more since they make the readers generate more clicks as well.  it's like a pyramid scheme.

True.  Make it 15 years of being an active users, whether or not you post, then.  Users that dont post still generate money for the site.  All this does is encourage people who currently post, to post more.

    • Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
    • I'd basically agree. The only point I would add is to be careful not to treat science as a religion, complete with priests, dogma, and blasphemy. Humans are highly susceptible to religious-oriented ways of thinking since it aids in forming communities of like-minded people. The problem is that when this happens, nobody wants to be ostracized from the group by saying that a deeply-held idea is wrong. Science and "peer review" are not immune to this behavior, unfortunately. In the end, finding truth is our own responsibility and we can't depend on others to hand it to us. Skepticism is key, along with curiosity and the willingness to critically evaluate and consider ideas both new and old.
