The Hipster Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 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".....

CrimsonBlur Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 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.

Jelly2003 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 http://www.tridian.com/content/images/photos/goldfish.jpgI am indeed a goldfish :p 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
