i think neowin's ok not many complaints

I was looking for an example and I have one now. Sorry, but people who use big pictures to make a point.

I can't stand the "Look at me I'm an attention ######" images. Really annoying.

The fact that I am never registered as logged in everytime I visit this site untill I go and click on log in, and then when that page has loaded I am suddenly already logged in.

Ah ha, got another good one. It's not really a dislike though. More like confusion. :dontgetit:

Supposedly we do not allow multiple accounts. :huh: But I've seen many members that have them and they don't end up getting in any trouble about it. :blink: It's like they are actually allowed. :wacko: I feel this needs more clarification from the staff, specifically the admins as it's they're site and ruling. :unsure: I wonder if maybe it's not that easy to spot multiple accounts unless it's made obvious like by similiar names and matching personalities and IP's. :s But I know they're clearly aware of some member's extra accounts, yet they sit there and let them have them. :/ Just doesn't make sense to me. :ermm: What'd they do to be allowed an extra account? :|

Likes:

- The fact that we have people from all over the world contributing with their own views. I have learned a lot from different culters and countries just from posts.

- I have never had a question unanswered. Even the question about the screen flipping horizontal on me all of a sudden.

- The intelligence of (selected) members. There are a lot of smart people on here who are really helpful to the community. The fact that we are of many different ages/generations adds to this.

- The forum layout in general is nice. It makes sense, it's organized, it's easy to follow. Yes it's the typical IPB but it's modded so that it's Neowin and original. A lot of work has gone into it and it looks great. Can't wait for any upgrades to come.

- All of the subforums. I'm a sucker for the "Post Your..." threads and I try to hit up the milestone threads because whether or not post count matters, it's gratifying to know that people like you here on the community and like your contributions.

- Moderators and Admins. They do so much around here that I give them most of the credit for making this site what it is. Yes, I know Neowin is Neowin because of it's great members, but it wouldn't be so great without the amazing team of Mod's/Admin's we have working behind the scenes and on the front lines.

Dislikes:

Hit and run spammers (but they get taken care of fairly quickly).
Quite an annoyance really, but our mods do a great job of fixing this issue.
GMail threads (but the mods managed to get that under control).

These are really getting out of hand. We almost need a news splash stating not to start any Gmail threads unless it is new news, etc.

Neowin is the only forum that I go to everyday because of this.

Well said. I'm in the same boat.

Dislikes: "I have 1000 posts" threads (So lame, only post quality counts !!!), members who have their PC specs in the signature (Seriously grow up, no one cares !) and GMail threads (What's the big deal anyway ?)

Likes: everything else.

I can't speak for everyone, but some people only do that so it makes it easier getting help when you have to make a topic asking for help with hardware. That way you don't have to type it out, it'll all ready be there when you make the topic.

Well in all fairness, Neowin is a tech forum.

There were these two former mods that I no longer see at Neowin.

Silly_Walk and [saintDark]

I'm really glad they're no longer here.

What? They changed their names to Joel and [sanctified]?

Oh why, THOSE guys. Err, um... sure, I like THEM. Um, always did too.

:p

On the subject of Gmail, you notice how it seems like a few hundred or so people suddenly have their email addresses listed in their sig, rather than just in their profile? You notice how all those email address end in @Gmail?

Yeah, it's pretty ****ing lame. "Omg lolz look at me I haev Gmails Acct!!!11"

I've got a Gmail account too but I don't go around parading it like I'm at a lesbians rights rally. (No offense to any lesbians or lesbian supporters on the board meant :D )

Then I guess there is no pleasing you. Perhaps this is Soapbox material?

Dislikes:

- Milestone Threads...at least make them so they don't show up in the Recent forum posts on the front page

- People that mispell curse words on purpose to bypass the word filter

- Pictures that have curse words in it

- Post your whatever threads

- Peoples relationship problem threads

- Huge sigs

- Server to busy messages, get them at least 3 times a day

- Improperly named threds. IE..."OMG look at this" and then its a picture of a gold fish in a bowl or "PLEASE HELP ME NOW". Also could you guys please enable the option to make thread titles lower case and not all caps.

- The huge emoticon that has a huge billboard saying "I'd hit it"

- Posts that only have a smilie face or lol in the post. I think there should me a minimum message length to make sure peoples post have some sort of quality to it and not just a post to up their post count.

- Members that point out that the news it old. There should be a rule against this...its completly stupid when people say that because not everyone spends all their life on their computers, and not everyone has heard the story...if you have, good for you don't post then.

- P i s s being filterd by the swear filter...comeon how is P i s s not allowed but bitch and dick is? makes no sense. (Yes, I know I just circumvented the swear filter and that was one of my rants...no I'm not a hypocrite)

- The theme...I don't dislike it, I just think it needs a facelift...like the one that is being worked on now but make that the default.

Damn it must sound like I hate neowin, but I don't...Those are things that have built up over the past few years that I have been here that I think have caused neowin to go downhill. but I still enjoy spending hours a day on neowin.
