My fellow Neowinians, we are coming upon an unprecedented time in our lives. Change is in the air, new things are on the horizon. No longer will we dwell among the lower levels of the Internet. No longer will we be bound to traditional forums. No longer will be sit by as the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. I know we can do better, I know we can hit eight million posts before October. Come on, say it with me, YES WE CAN! Thank you Neowin, God bless!

Ya, just adding a +1 but going to disguise it as encouragment to all other forum members.

We can do it guys! Just keep on posting!

+1 :woot:

Still think we should go beat the people who said no with a keyboard, but maybe that's just me, talk about no community spirit, lol.

And hey, if we need to make up a few hundred posts, we can just make a "8 million posts" topic like 7 and 6 million ones where everyone ends up posting constantly trying to be the millionth poster. :p

If you were able to identify the user who posts the 8 millionth post message

then he could be a good choice for the winner.

then it would be funny if the person who made that post was a newbie 1st poster. lol What are the odds?

I just realized that Neowin will be 8 years old on October 1st 2008, wouldn't it be great if we can also hit 8 million posts by then!

Today, the stats are as follows ...

Yes we can!

If we make it, I will randomly select an active poster (the coders can help me with that) and send them a retail copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (x86 or x64)

I'm out of the competition!

    • BS, I've yet to run into a typical pc user that uses it at all, let alone half the population.
    • Codec Tweak Tool 6.7.7 by Razvan Serea This tool is a Swiss army knife for managing codecs and codec settings. Codec Tweak Tool will scan for broken filters and remove them.

    • The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
