Neowin is a good example of why I love to use forums.

Ah, other forums. What's the point of having a community where the minority of people can't express their opinion? There is no progress, only stagnant fanboy-ism and piety. Nothing more than cheering the heroes and booing the villains.

Neowin doesn't have fanboys. There are no white knights that step in to defend the administration if they are criticized.

Administrators here love critique, they love to listen and improve. That is why neowin is so great. And I find it unique that a forum is like that.

Also the moderators on staff have historically been very fair and understanding. They are staunch and liberal and I'm surprised to see that their is almost no censorship here.

Very often is their any deleting here. Nor moving. It's simply a warning just in case it were to happen.

This forum is a haven of intellectual progress by far. Surpassing any educational institution I have seen.

Neobond we should be paying YOU tuition.

Over the years Neowin has been a haven for entertainment and troubleshooting for me. It's my one stop shop for answers. I've even recomended people I know sign up and use the forum as its so handy.

Even the 1 post wonders make it entertaining

We all make it what it is.

It's certainly one the best out there...compared to, say, the Gamespot forums. Oh god...I cringe every time I look at their message boards; ****ing retards or children who can't make complete sentences bitching about the tiniest details of IRRELEVANT issues.

...yeah, neowin's good...

Amen to that. Neowin is freaking great. It's much better than say, on NZ's GPStore comment section. I lol every time I see that. Especially the Tags for 360 and PS3 products, and Halo 3 etc..."ps3 killer", "xbox sucks", "die microsoft", "sony fails", stuff like that. Epic win. Newin's good for stuff like that. Rock on Neowin!

I have been searching for my main PC related forum for a few weeks now after getting into PC gaming/upgrading etc. And have to say, this forum has the most eye pleasing graphics, the largest array of subjects/boards, and isnt dominated with hot-headed teens who chat rubbish.

All in all, a great forum!

There are limits to "opinion expressing" just so you know :D

Neowin doesn't have fanboys. There are no white knights that step in to defend the administration if they are criticized.

They just haven't reared their ugly head yet. But there are fanboys. I have to say Neowin is one of the better moderated forums though.

Otherwise, welcome to the forums. :)

aww thanks :blush: but you guys really make the community, all we do is provide the means and try to keep the peace. Listening to your community is what every forum should be about because we gave this to you to build upon.

can we have our cookies now? :p

Just to re-iterate what I put in my blog, Neowin is like an old pair of pants, you get new ones come along but you always go back to the best, most comfortable pair.

I don't agree with the no fanboys comment either, but I've grown kind of used to that and don't take it as seriously as I once did, hehe. I think I've moved on to mostly similing at those kind of posts instead. :) Especially when it's old and tired arguments being used.

Yes, Neowin is an example of a quite encompassing community that covers so many subjects, way beyond Windows that one may think at first sight and hearing the name. What I like seeing most are those funny threads that sometimes pop up, heh. Oh, and being early on informing myself on computing news. While the journalism may be more or less "amateurish" at times (not automatically a bad thing though), the news often come quickly and accurately.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
