Andre S. Veteran Posted February 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 7, 2008 I didn't find a thread already for this so here goes. There are two web sites I visit every day at least, and generally twice a day: my email, and Neowin. I currently study in software engineering. I've always been passionate about computers, technology, astronomy and astrophysics, God, and video games. I've been participating in various forums for 4 years now, mainly tech and religion forums. Tomshardware used to be my main tech forum, and I would browse Neowin from time to time. In time, I've left all the forums I've been talking on, except for Neowin. I don't exactly know why, but I'm hooked here. I get the everyday news that really interest me: what new robot is being developped by the Japanese, what new critical security threat has been found in Firefox... When I have a precise problem whether hardware or in programming I usually get meaningful answers in short time, a luxury not found at many other places on the net. Plus the forum is huge: if I feel like debating a deep philosophical issue I can, and there will be people to challenge me; I won't get flamed to pieces by a dozen idiots like so often happens on forums. If I feel like talking about my last game of this or that, or posting a review of a game I like, I can. Basically I guess the reason I like Neowin is that it's a place where I can talk with people who share many of my interests, where I can provide make a meaningful contribution and help people out with some of their problems, with the little I know, and when I can expect help for my own problems or just friendly talk about whatever I like. Thanks of course to those who run the site, I understand that it is a lot of work and dedication. But my biggest thanks goes to all the contributors who share their opinions, problems and advice with me, they are the main reason I have a good time hanging here.
