Well its 2015 now, my relation with Neowin stareted in 2012 when windows 8 was launched. I googled about windows 8 reviews, features and etc and found out the site. By then i did'nt have much bandwidth for browsing other than my school work nor i was familiar with forums. In 2014 June when i was 18 my grandmother bought me a lumia 525 and my parents upgraded my internet plan to unlimited. Having a windows phone i used to vist WPcentral (now windows central) for news about software updates and stuff and made an account in that site. In some of articles the source was shown as neowin and found reading articles was interesting and i became a regular reader. Not long after being a reader i decided to make an account seeing the amazing community here.

give it a month, then you'll figure out no one here knows what we're talking about

Yea some members defiantly missed a dip in the gene pool  ...........and a timely reminder to all not to forget to post in the Dogs v Cats thread.

Found it while looking for sites that display software updates.Using the neowin software page along with filehippo,betanews,majorgeeks,portableappz & portablefreeware pretty much covers it.

I'm don't remember exactly how I found Neowin.  However, I do visit a lot of tech and computer hardware websites so I mostly came across Neowin that way

I found it while searching for Elephone P7000 Smartphone

Frankly speaking, I was looking for some great forum which could help me on winning some money from online games. I have tried poker, roulette and lotto but have not come across any luck. Hope to find some great stuff here.

Through an ex-friend who used to visit the site when we were in High School 12 years ago.

I've had various usernames but I visit the site pretty much everyday!

[MikeM97]

By searching facts about Windows 10.

I found Neowin while searching for a review of the new Surface 3. I had read many reviews up to that time. Neowin, however, was the first review that was actually thoughtful and fair. Since then, I have made it one of my few go-to sites for info.

I was looking for XP/Vista help. I found another forums while searching as well. Been a member since then! I just came back a few months ago though!

[Mockingbird]

I saw that my older brother is on this site, so I took his account.

[deepeejay]

I'm a Surface 3 pro user who once had a C64. Nowadays it's a complete mystery but it keeps me off the streets.

15 years ago, during the Whistler-era I joined. I left in the mid-2000s but recently re-joined with all the Windows 10 preview talk. No idea what my username was back when I first joined

[tompkin]

This is bad. I only joined in January and I don't remember how I found out about Neowin.

[benthebear]

I don't know if I've ever replied in this thread, and a search turns up nothing, so here it goes.

I started coming here right before Windows XP was announced in early 2001. I found this and Thurrot's site by searching Google (ick) for Whistler news. I didn't sign up to become a member until after XP was released. I hung around for a bit, and then I joined the military. The whole basic training process kind of zaps your brain a bit, and by the time I got to my first duty assignment, I had forgot my password, and my email provider had shut down, so I couldn't recover my password. I created this account instead. Funny thing is, ten years later I was sitting at work, and my old password came back to me.

Was running from a Hardware and Gaming site that had a lot of racism and name calling,landed onto ghacks and then onto one of ghack friends then. Am addicted to NEOWIN

[Sszecret Veteran]

I think it was an article about the unveiling of the Start Screen by Steven Sinofsky and Julie Larson-Green (so early 2011ish maybe?) that brought me to Neowin. Not entirely sure how exactly I got to it, but the important thing is that I did. Lurked for about a year and then in May (or April) of 2012 I created an account on Neowin and one on The Verge. Needless to say, the one on Neowin gets used a lot more than the other one.

No idea..  but it was quite a long time ago. Check the news daily but always forget about the forums

To be honest i'm not sure if google was already a thing when i found neowin.

I probably found it via altavista.

I found it when i was trying to make NFS 3: Hot Pursuit works with windows 2k. In a typical EA move i had to find a home made patch made by a guy for the game to be playable. Found it here.

Here's what Neowin.net looked like back then :

The banner image was awesome i bet Neobound made it himself using Ulead Cool 3d or something similar

BTW for fun ...

Mass deleter strikes again! --oh it was me.. Posted February 25, 2001 by Neobond (1)

Ahem, I accidently deleted the Neowin poll yesterday while trying to install another script (without success) anyway I learned from this experience that you cannot select with the CTRL buttons multiple folders without deleting the folder(s) in between the selections, with WS_FTP 6.6 DAMN!, anyway my web site partner Redmak, had a backup of the Poll and re-installed it, this does mean however that the votes are back to zero.. er sorry. So, Will you purchase Windows XP when it comes out? one more time.. thanks again for all of your patience I know, I know....
