Richardo Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi, this is my first topic-starter. I'm a long term lurker here going back to the days of whistler, but very rarely post, and only became a member recently. My job is a PC tech, and I dedicate at least an hour of every day to reading Neowin. I don't think I?ve missed one topic on the front page news in about a year. Its helped my immensely with things like the msblast virus outbreak, sp2 going rtm, and in general all things technical. As such, Neowin has become a lifestyle. There's no website as updated, diverse and unbiased. If I have one complaint, it would be that there are too many people posting information based on their own opinion or experience that is inaccurate. I feel that if i don't know what i'm talking about 100% for a fact then I?d rather not post - but learn from others. Neowin can be an excellent tool to learn just about anything, from Circumcision to DRM. I'm hooked. Thanks Neowin, without you the Internet would be a bleak place.

Xtreme $niper Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I agree, I was a lurker for a long time before I signed up but then I just couldnt resist. And now look.. lol If it wasnt for neowin, I'd be pretty damn clueless on the technology front. Thanks neowin! =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey992 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I was a registered lurker for about 3 months before I got involved in discussions. I do agree that Neowin rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConfusedFusion Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I agree to the fact that a lot of people at neowin post even if they dont have a solution or answer to a question. Most of the time, I wonder if people actually wanna help or put more stars next to their names. But it is true, Neowin rocks and there is no substitute. I wish some of the members in question can stop being STAR hungry and actually help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted January 31, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2005 I feel the same exact way... There are so many things that I have learned from Neowin that the last couple of years of my life probably would have gone much different if I'd never found this place. It's amazing to think so...

I don't agree with your complaint, because if people didn't have opinions or didn't post about their experiences, there would not be half as many post on this site. People post what has happened to them in case it can help anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
