simms Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 PM5K, that's for that info...Its good to be updated so you don't make a fool out of yourself :dead:... .... Nevertheless....how about this statement? I think that the succession of Neowin or Neonerds should be based on the opinion of the public, and not just the Mods and Admins of each respective site. The reason for either forum, or ANY forum in general is to have a community, where we can share ideas, laugh, comment, even though we are all 1,000s of miles(kilometers) apart. With this...schism, our community is tearing. Each side is right in the respect that yes, Neowin MAY (MAY!!!) be detioriating, Neonerds may seem like a n00b in the scene..but ultimately both will serve the same purpose, which is to unite the community. We'll have to see who does better. This is not a fight between two people. Not between two communities. There is no fight at all, just an argument that started with one questionable thread post.

Keldyn Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 This is kinda sad. Neowin has just about everything i want in a site. I don't feel compelled to seek out an alternative. Neobond and Redmak do a great job of things here. They should be proud of what a succesful comunity it has become. Neowin is not going down the tubes. I doubt a minority will bring down such a great site. People should not be complaining about the quality of posts here. Afterall... its the visitors that make the site. If no one came here, then neowin would never have got off the ground. Neobond also cannot be held responsible for the behavior of a minority. He works damn hard on this site, invests alot of his own time in the process. I think alot of you should be grateful for that alone. Rather than being so quick to lay blame, take a step back and think. Would neowin really be heading the way it was if it were not for the posts of some more troublesome members over the past couple months ? The staff can only do so much, they cannot see or control everything that its members post. So... what to do ? As PM5K has said... too much moderating can be a bad thing. People need to feel comfortable here. I know i do...and i have been here since the beginning. Regardless of what << spam >> is about, it is not an attempt to poach neowins members. Personally i think its great 3nd3r has embarked on his own project. Good for him. What i don't like is people mud slinging saying things like " Oh after reading this thread, or the way neowin is going, i'm leaving. " Or. "I'm joining neonerds". Ok, fine... but Neobond or the rest of neowins staff don't really need that hurled in their face like they are somehow responsible for your leaving. Please don't act like you have been so personally affronted here. Neobond does his best to listen to everyone here. He always has. Countless threads he has made asking for the communities opinions, looking for ideas, or suggestions as how to best improve things. Neowin is for the community, as it has always been. Lets not let the actions of a minority sour what is otherwise, undoubtedly and still the best place there is to hang out on the web. regards Keldyn.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Neowin is a cool site. I like it a lot. It has different niches for all kinds of people from case mods to XP styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simms Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Good point Keldyn. I think I like this kind of discussion more than 'Oh boy, Neo______ sucks!' '#$@* off!'... I know both sides believe that their own ideals are right. Neobond: He's done a great job with Neowin, and I know he won't let anything happen to it. This was the first forum I joined... but I guess its time for a tidy-up or something, because people are complaining. I personally can't say anything, because I don't see very much of it, due to the fact that I can't post here often. 3nd3r: He's a nice guy who's done about everything he can for Neowin, and what a job...he's one of the people who kept me in Neowin, because of people like him. Yes, his efforts will be flamed at first... but hopefully we will all be mature about it, and not take it too harsh. To the both of you, kudos on your hard work, and may the future bring out the best of you two, whether it be on Neowin, Neonerds, or any other place on the Internet or the world.

Tesseract Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I feel comfortable here as well. I hope that things can get back to normal here soon. I think that people just needed to go somewhere and let out steam besides here. I am not sure about the immediate future of this site, but I can assure everyone that this site will soon come back and be as strong as ever before. Until then, I think that the best thing is for neowin.net (including Neobond) and << spam >> to work together since 99% of the member base at << spam >> are from neowin.net.

3nd3r Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Guys and Gals: I never wanted this to go this far. Lets just leave this alone and MAYBE Neobond and I can work this out like 2 grown up men. The last thing I want is for myself and my members to be hated on this forum. That would not be cool. I am just gonna sit back Smoke my cuban and drink my b33r and wait for Neobond to come back online.
