I did.

It was posted on the front page under the title:

Neowin 8 years today & details on a new design

8 Million by Oct 1st

You may remember the forum thread where I asked, 8 million by Oct 1st 2008 & Win! a copy of Vista Ultimate on May 7th of this year, when it looked like we might miss the target. Well today we are well over 8 million and I'm proud to announce that lylesback2 won the copy of Windows Vista, congrats to him! A big thanks also go out to our community for standing by us all these years, and as I say every year: Here's to another X years!"

But the discuss this link goes to this forum

No, 8 millionth post didn't get Vista, it was a huge coincidence. He got the post, and got randomly selected for Vista. And he made a motivational poster like 3 days before he actually got the post to pretend he won. He has a time machine for sure...

"If we make it, I will randomly select an active poster"

Maybe what Neobond meant was the winner would be the 8millionth post, and at that time, it was completely random as to who... it would.... be...? :unsure:

so *he* would *randomly* select a person from a group of 1? (after all, only 1 person could post the 8m post) :p

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone

      By Nas · Posted

      I'm still rocking iOS 25.x on my primary phone cuz iOS 26 still has usability quirks (mostly aesthetic and thus its UX) which I don't wanna deal with -- and I've been piloting them with all of these updates on my backup phone, so I'm well aware of its "improvements" since iOS 26 was first released (compared to version 26.5.x).
