giga Veteran Posted May 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2004 It's usually word of mouth. Or should I say keys. People refer to neowin over many sites and everyone starts to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceminess Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 i found this site through bink's site, when wm9 was released on beta, i think it was first leeked through neowin. after that i think i eventually decided to sign up when i was into visual styles a lot.

Dogan Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I think I found a link to neowin in warp2search or something.. it was ages ago :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I found a link on Bink's website for some beta a few years ago. I think the fact that neowin can get so much inside news on betas and other stuff helps keep this site above everyone else. also because it has the best mods and admins in the world.

HeavyTwenty Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 About a year or two ago, I was either reading the theinquirer.net or theregister.net and found neowin.net :). I think the story was about how neowin.net was shut down by Microsoft for having an "illegal download" available (SDK or something). I lost my original name though :(.

ECEGatorTuro Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I read the news on the site after I found out about it through a friend of mine about 2 1/2 years ago. I didn't register until a while later and then I discovered the forums. I originally just read the news and then I started replying to the forums and the rest is history! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Veteran Posted May 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 17, 2004 Neowin is popular because of all the effort put into it by the staff and the members. They rule (Y) ...and because of the NeoTroops continually recruiting people :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
