Funniest/weird/sad things on Neowin


Recommended Posts

OMH: Never knew about this <snipped> character.

I just remember the Pink Panther, his weird threads, how he would just go straight on the attack, and what a lil kid he is.

And then the fun and games a bunch of us had afterwards with our little sigs - oh funny days!

Hehe, oh yeah i almost forgot about him. Wonder what he is doing now... I wonder if he even still goes to Neowin under a different name? :shiftyninja:

The funniest thing has to be the reply to a thread...look in my sig..its the one about using boiling butter for lube.

The most annoying thing here are certain bungholes.. . you know who you are... i believe its called small man syndrome.

Who remembers <snipped> and his fetish for younger girls (ie: underage) and his posts about his 'girlfriends' parents warning him to stay away.

Wow, I'm impressed. You don't even know this person, there's no way you even know the whole story, and you're kicking a banned person while they're down with no way to defend themselves. Good job assuming you know what his situation was. I don't know him either, but that's crossing a line. I don't care that this is your site and you're the admin, and this member is a banned one not here any more, that's not the point. What you said about him is so unacceptable and unprofessional as an administrator. This is not an example you should be setting for your other members.

Wow, so:

1) Defending someone who you don't know

2) Questioning someone over something they claim to know about and you claim not to know about

3) Telling Neobond how to run his site!

I am not a kiss-up here (far from it), but if you don't like how the owner of the site does something, um, well, not really much you can do is there!

I kinda think your reply fits nicely into this thread! LOL:

Noob members who attack respected members over things they clearly have no knowledge over!

Oh, so just because he's staff he has every right to bend/break his own rules and people MUST respect him? I believe respect is earned and not given. I wouldn't care if he was God or Jesus or the president themselves. I may be out of line, but he was too. No, I don't know the story with the member he brings up, but neither does he. He doesn't know him either and that doesn't make it right for him to play guessing games.

Oh, so just because he's staff he has every right to bend/break his own rules and people MUST respect him?

Dooooh, yes. This little corner of cyberspace is his. None of us have to be here, and we can leave any time we please.

Im not to sure what your problem is, but let it drop.

No ****.

Not really a problem, per se, just find it funny he'd do a thing like that when he doesn't even know the person (yea, yea, I don't either). Oh well. I guess that's what makes the internet fun, isn't it? Hiding behind anonymity, eh?

Sorry for hijacking the topic and ranting in it. D'oh, indeed.

Well from what he said, those accusations are an accepted fact on Neowin. I doubt he'd say it unless he knew that other members would remember and back up those claims. I doubt you'd have a clue. He obviously does because he was there when whatever threads/PMs happened.

So umm, I can't see any rules broken by his post, can anyone else?

Oh, and I wouldn't expect you to respect or be respected by anyone here yet, but for long standing members it's a bit different.

Back on topic....some of the mods here are funny/weird/sad but I can't think of much else.

If this issue causes you sleepless nights i suggest you PM' him. Im sure he will be happy to fill you in on what ever the reasoning behind any actions he has had on the subject.

Apart from the fact that staff actions are not to be questioned on the boards, not because its a dictatorship, but because if every one that had a problem with a staff action or choice the site would become less of a news and tec site and more of a whingers forum, so you are always entitled to question any issue and or action, but by pm only..

Hope you understand.

How can you claim Neobond doesn't know all about <snipped>? You have no basis for making that claim! I am not claiming he does, but he shows a knowledge of him, that I have no reason to question.

And do we have to do as Neobond says? Not, not in the least - we are free to leave HIS site at any time we please.

On topic: Persephone is weird. And she smells of gerbils! But I love her all the same ;)

No, that's just it. There is no fact or truth in it. It's all assumptions unless the aforementioned member was able to confirm or deny the allegations. Staff members aren't always right in everything either. Let's just move along now.

Dude, I have been here longer than I look. I don't need the manual quoted to me. Thanks. And I all ready said it doesn't bother me at all. Humors me, actually. Let's not make this topic the one to be funny/weird/sad, ha ha.

On a site this big, do you think Steven would take the time to personally get to know any members? Just because he'd say whatever he said about him doesn't mean it's true. He just shows an assumption about him.

Drop it, let it go.

On topic please!

definitely the using melted butter as lube thread lol

p.s. Weebis - you drop it..lol you started it!

Also when people say: Dont need anti virus..i use common sense.... because i should actually be I have common sense i use anti virus!

That thread was funny as hell, I loved that... I think that thread easily can be the most funny, while sad and weird post ever

or may be I need to look more :unsure: or may be I need to get a life...

arent you assuming that neobond doesnt know this guy personally? didnt you assume that neobond doesnt know any of these statements as a fact? im not saying your wrong but im just pointing out the fact that you made this statement on assumptions of your own mate... for all you know these two could be next door neighbours and from what ive heard anyway, i dont think this guy was very secretive about what neobond said about him in the first place!

i couldnt help but get my say in on this matter... please dont shoot me :(

LOL, you're okay, dude. From my research, the one guy lives in the USA, and Neobond lives in the UK? Across countries. Most likely that they don't know each other. Aye, maybe not secretive, but what if he was looking for advice on something, and someone wanted to be an arse and turn it around into something it isn't. I'm done with this now.

Anyway...

Who's this Pink Panther guy and what did he do? Was he like Scoobie? :shiftyninja:

Speaking of <snipped>.... This thread https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=278150 is hilarious! He comes back and is all apologetic and such... And the thread is celebrating his 1000th post... But he's banned with only 1000 posts! Which I read being banned because of that thread! :laugh: Edited by Fred Derf
Who's this Pink Panther guy and what did he do?

I love you for asking that. You just opened a can of worms that makes me giggle whenever I hear it!

OK, so he was a 14 year old kid, who made psosts like this:

1) I stayed off school today to masturbate over web pr0n. Am I weird? Do I do it too much?

2) I like {insert band}, but now my mate is into them - I liked them first, and he is just pretending, I hate him

He'd make comments like "If your parents ever saw you naked, you'd be in such trouble.", "I am the most mature person anyone has ever met. My teacher says so"...

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...ult_type=topics

Seriously, wow!

When I said accepted as fact, I mean as in that member alluded to such behaviour on this forum. But yeah arguing on the internet, can't be bothered.

Pink Panther - now he loved arguing on the internet lol. He behaved like he had an autistic spectrum disorder - I don't mean that in a flame bait/take the **** out of the handicapped way either.

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.
