How did you find Neowin?

[Daedroth]

I was looking for decent tech forums, and I stumbled across this one after a bit of Googling.

[Klownicle]

Many many moons ago, might have been while I was looking for tech news or for a windows longhorn beta. Who knows. What matters now is I'm here. [group hug][/group hug]

I can't remember. I have been coming to this site since I was a kid.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The computer was buzzing, chrome ready and waiting

In hopes that a great website soon would be loaded;

The parents were nestled all snug in their bed,

While anger of my school marks danced in their heads;

And dog in her 'kerchief, and I in my chair,

Had just settled down for a long web surf,

When out on the google search there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from link to link to see what was found

Away to the adress bar I flew like a flash,

to take note of the location.

The page so clean and crisp

Gave the lustre of great things below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a giant N, and a bunch of text,

With a little old nav bar, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be Neowin.

More rapid than eagles the site it loaded,

And it flickered, and flashed, and showed me the options;

"Go to, Forums! Go to, News! Go To, Gallery and More!

Great, News! Great Information! Great, Look and Speed!

To the favorites bar! to the top of the my list!

Now click away! click away! click away all!"....

I believe I was looking for a copy of one of the early Longhorn builds :p

[HardyRexion]

One of the few sites my company's internet doesn't filter out :D

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

It's been so long I don't think I can even remember. I think it was down to problems with a bit of a CPU / Motherboard / Graphics Card issue and I either followed a link from another forum or found it on Google! Been here too long! :)

Cripes - in fact just over 10 years. Scary.

By an employee I fired at work.

[Carbon Fiber]

[PixilEyes]

Gotta ask was he fired for being on neowin? lmao

Na she wasn't for that :p

A long list of other things though.

I don't remember but I think people dislike me here because I do not connect Neowin to Facebook. Seems like almost everyone here does it. Not that I care. I just feel it makes a difference. Even if a little. From what I seen and tested.

What??? You think people here dislike you? Because you don't link your FB account with the site? That's pretty funny stuff.

Haha i had to ask!

[Dusco25]

[whyme]

[DPyro]

I needed help with a PHP script and posted in the coding forums. Thanks the_mole001.

[Ragde]

Neowin was featured on Tech TV's The Screen Savers - went to have a look and it's been a bookmark ever since. (Y)

[brink668]

From Digg.com back in the day when it was just getting off the ground and no one knew about the "Digg" site. They linked a few stories and news articles and I liked the community. I actually never registered until 2.5 years later.

[mokthraka]

looking for information on windows 7, worst mistake ever...

[KeeperOfThePizza]

[BeerFan]

i found Jesus.

And Jesus showed you Neowin? I always knew he was a techie at heart.

[muzzle79]

I used to troll around here Virtual-Hideout.net. At some point I found Neowin around the same time, probably through a forum post.

I honestly don't remember. When I joined I was known as "Lain" LOTS of speculation to if I was male or female. This place has stuck with me since 2004....

[Gladiatorus]

Can't remember. I was a lurker for years before signing in.
