I joined because I like how active it is, with its many different forums

What first brought me here was Autopatcher, back when it was in full swing (I mean full)

I've come back because, I had a good look around and it was a cross between Bleeping Computer and here

I asked a Mod there for a little help, and I'm still waiting for the reply.

Whereas here the Mods are very (I mean very) quick and helpful all the time.

Basically it was the Mods here that was the icing on the top. I'll see how things go for a while.

Oh and I like "Activity" window, that helps too.

I suppose the only thing I don't like is the huge banners, I think its the members signatures, all over the place.

I find that a real put off, but I suppose its in grained now, so no use arguing about all those ads !

Anyway, thanks for having me so far. And to the active Mods: your good work is noticed :)

I found it like yesterday, and I don't remember how I did it... Strange. But I think it was through a Google search, I was searching for something - Windows related I suppose. Great site, can't say the same thing about the members though :p

...nah, just kidding. I love you all!

Friend told me about it one day, and I was also getting sick of hearing him talk about "Just reading forums" and I got to the point were I thought... "link me to this forum you go on so much", and it was Neowin.

Was interesting so I registerd.

*Note: NiceCarpet-ng. Got me into it :D

A google search brought me to an article listed on the BPN, and I noticed that I pretty much liked all of the news listed there. I checked it casually for about a year or so in the Lo-Fi version (that's what google brought me to), not realizing that it was actually a huge site and forum!

After clicking the full-site button, it changed my homepage and news source forever :p

Searching for information during the Neptune and then Whistler betas brought me to this site. I can still remember what the front page looked like. Thinking about it makes me miss college and the simple life... but only for a moment.

ArtScott, welcome to neowin. I see so many of the "1 post" wanderers here and there. So amazing the most people that contribute to this thread has only a couple post and they went silent for ever.

    • Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
