Scorbing Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 This is a stupid question since the URL is obvious, but does this page has anything to do with Neowin? I came across it by accident when I missed typing on W in %5burl=http://ww.neowin.net/%5dClick%20here%20to%20take%20a%20look" target="_blank">WWW Click here to take a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroChaos Veteran Posted March 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2002 i remember there being a thread awhile back about viewing neowin's stats. i never looked at it :p , but i would guess that this is what you came across, and it's supposed to be there.

gobbledok Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 i gotta say that neowin is probably one of the best forums/websites ive come across for general news and good discussions with little/no flaming in various threads spanning lots of issues and stuff :D thats why i hope to become more part of this place :) gj neowin!

Gumboot Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 actually, they are running IIS 6...1337 i supposed You can run ASPX (ASP.NET) pages on IIS 5.0 (Win2k) or IIS 5.1 (WinXP). In fact a quick check reveals that www.microsoft.com and support.microsoft.com both use IIS 5.0 (ie. a Windows 2000 server). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to run it on Exchange, but it couldn't handle the load (of SPAM) :) At least that is what I remember ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
