How did this site become so POPULAR?


Recommended Posts

I registered in March then registered again this month beccause I wanted a username change. In two months there have been 5,000 more registered users!! Thats nuts! :laugh:

I heard about this forum from another forum (Sc4ever.com/forum). It's a dying forum so I wanted to come to a place overflowing with users. Neowin is definently the right place.

So how did Neowin becomes so populated? Do you guys advertise? Is it simply from word of mouth?

uhm you're only allowed one username, PM any of the admins if you want a username change. more info in the topic "Can I change my username?". :)

this site became popular just being featured in magazines, having a big word of mouth. of course the work from the admins/staff and us remaining to post. :)

I originally came here after a google search after Halo PC leaked...

I managed to lose that account (forgot the password, and also forgot which of my fifty email addresses I registered with), so I just lurked here until later.... I think it was when Half Life 2 leaked. I came for the torrent, stayed for the rest of it :D

For the curious, I was...I think it was "TheChode", or "The_Chode"....or maybe "Choden_One" or "Choden1".....

I've been a member for so long... I can't even remember how I found this site. I think I found it searching the Web for ways to optimize my PC. That, or I was looking for new Visual Styles when I got XP and became aware of StyleXP.

Agreed! :p

I have been coming here a couple of years. First time I found it was from a link from Bink's site if memory serves me correctly. It always used to be a site I'd check occasionally for news etc. I then noticed the screen shots threads, i was amazed at the things people do with their PC's. After a while I started browsing few the forums and finally decided to join.

I gotta say, this would have to be the 100% best place to find help on the net, you post, then within 10 mins you can get an answer. Try getting that kinda support anywhere else, I'll bet you'd have a hard time finding it.

Came during the XP Beta's (I think it was beta1, maybe 2). I heard from news site that said Neowin had screenshots of a new design.

I came around the same time, but I never registered until last year.
