How did you find Neowin?

[dmd3x]

Joined Neowin when it was just getting started. :cool: I was searching the web for Windows stuff. At first I just visited for reading the news and browsing the forums, and eventually I created an account. (Y)

[Zelciah]

In college where asked to do alot of research on software updates and game releases and Neowin would always be shared around the class.

I cant remember the actual reason, but I came here linked from iexbeta looking for download links of the beta of IE5 i think it was. Back then the rules were very lax so links to the betas were put on the front page all the time. I remember my first post being in the desktop thread thou.

I've been coming to neowin for tech news for sooo long I don't even know how I found it or why I registered. I do know I've seen at least 3 major site revisions since I started coming here. I used have a set of 4 sites that'd open when I opened my browser, Neowin is the only one that is still in that list, the other 3 either closed down or became total crap.

I also don't think this is my original account, I had one here under rstat1, but forgot the PW and no longer had the email address I used to register it.

Anyone here remember xBeta.net?

[ToneKnee]

Came over from Overclockers.com, not sure why I signed up here, but it was something to do with the early Longhorn days, but I do remember coming to Neowin just before XP was released, just didn't bother signing up until Overclockers.com died down a bit.

Hi Guys

I registered because I love to surf and find unusual and funny things,

so I looked in Google and found your site, I hope I can have fun here with you all.

Kisses :p

[Pc_Madness]

It was that place you could sign up to to get into Beta's or something, but I never actually joined up. Came back a year or two later to ask a question I believe. :)

[Phenom II]

Yea Vista Betas I think I was looking for, cant quite remember !

[+Random Stranger Subscriber¹]

found it years ago.. this was THE SITE that gave the latest news on the windows and such....

i believe i found very soon after the sites original creation :)

stayed here for a long time, loved the theme's for XP... and the forums...

stopped visiting, after i realized i have almost 4000 posts, and i am wasting time here.

now i drop by once in a while... since it is still a great news source.. not as rouge as it used to be, but it is all for the better.

ps. interesting to see the same people i used to remember, still active and posting... so many years after :D

you know who you are - you have more the 20k posts now

[Ibutsu]

Was bored, waiting for co-workers to come online. My usual forum didn't have much going on today, so I just remembered neowin.

Looking at the forums, it seemed good, so I signed up.

[standup]

Hi Everyone! I'm new here... it's my first post!

I found this site through a contest that I entered in Canada, where I live.

So... I signed up!!

yey!

I had an issue with wmplayer.exe running all the time (process) in the background I googled it it brought me to this forum. Someone had the same issue with Vista SP1 (I have XP Pro SP3) I figured out what was causing it during reading the post. I Registered to this forum so I can help the person with the same problem.

I have very advanced computer skills that involve security, & virus, malware, malicious programs, and trojan annalist & removal.

Also customizing of Windows, tweaking, also troubleshooting.

I figured hell I could help others also problems I have someone can help me then I can help others.

Plus I have my own Windows forum which no one goes to lol.

Well, while searching for hardware/software answers I was redirected to posts in this forum a lot of times in the last few years, so few days ago I decided to finally register and I'm glad I did.

[itzwolf]

I have been browsing and reading this site since the beginning to be honest. I simply never signed up for an account because I was never big on forum usage. Over the years I've changed and I was reading like usual and decided hell with it let me sign up for an account. I actually had issues with NeoWin while at work before the upgrade and such where pages took forever to load and the register page never would load (I tried a couple times). Thankfully that problem was resolved recently and I then signed up for an account. A few days after registering I thought for all the great free information I've read about over the years, I felt moved to become a subscriber and I don't regret it! :cool:

hi i just want to share, i found this forum from google, i cant remember what i type but then i found it interesting then i joined.

[PdHex]

Was searching something.

[troist]

I came here back in the days of iexbeta (sadly it always seems to be dead now :() when I saw someone mention it over there. Thought it looked good so I signed up :)

[amon91]

Some other news site sourced to Neowin, which led me here. I wish there was a bigger back story but well, there isn't. :)

[Tarrie]

A friend Told me about it , it seemed like a good place....

[Gr0znak]

I was looking for a forum where I could discuss Windows OSes and here I am.
