But seriously, this is still a pretty big community. Sometimes yeah there's lamers but in general it's still more mature than what you can find out there.

Where will you go now? I'd go to 4chan.

Stuff like this image is what people get fed up with. Its been done countless times and has no value to the thread.

1) I agree, neowin is now full of kids hiding behind monitors, who in the real world wouldn't stand up to ****, but on here feel it's acceptable to completely berate people and act like the hard man!

Agreed, some of the responses I've got over moderator actions are weird when you consider the fact that someone actually was behind it and wrote it.

2) If you do not enjoy a place, leave - but I would suggest you make mods aware of the sentiment - they need to know the overall feelings on the forums when they turn sour.

Agreed, like Barney said, this place is huge. PureLegend :wub: The Report Button.

3) But don't rub ego by making a thread about it. PM those you wish to stay in contact with. Then again, why the hell not!

Agreed, though I probably wouldn't agree if this was titled something other than "Farewell" and it was more about the state of Neowin than you leaving.

... and I must be the village douche bag. :D

Take joy in knowing that you are not the village spam-bot.

to OP: I don't know who you are, or if you are actually going to leave or not, but farewell and safe Inter-tube travels. It's always sad to lose a valuable member.

I'm leaving, I'm tired of people arguing in every topic nowadays. It just seems this place is full of underage fanboy geegs. Every topic here seems to turn into fight about nonsense and i'm sick of it.

But I will still miss alot of people here :) .

Goodbye threads = Attention seeking, you'll be back.

Yeah, I've noticed that the quality of the posts on many communities have spiraled downwards recently. Common decency and respect for another member's opinion has diminished in many forums, and not a day goes by that someone has to drag religion into some topic where it wasn't needed. I'm not affiliated with any religion, but I have to admit that many of these Atheist's are getting to be just as bad as the religious zealot's! Digg.com was a site I visited often in the past because I was treated with unique news over a variety of topics. Today I often see something about Atheism, politics, marijuana, lolcats and some random video that wouldn't even make the ranks if it were dugg legitimately.

But I digress, farewell Joni_78!

The quality of Neowin's posts have indeed declined.

Instead of supporting and helping, all I see is bashing, bashing, bashing ad nauseam, along with caption pictures and other crap.

Come to think of it, the bashing threads about Windows Vista has truly grown old. I even got warned for "attacking another member" when *he* started the bashing crap. That guy I "attacked" should have been warned for being an idiot in the first place, anyway. :hmmm:

Go ahead, mods. Warn me some more - just goes to show how much the quality of posts here on Neowin have been declining more. By warning me - *and* humiliating me via showing my warning level to other people here - you have just proven my point. Thanks.

:rolleyes:

With responses like these I'm not surprised he's leaving.

Wow, really. i was reading the comments and were some of those really needed? dont let the door hit u on the way out? wow, really? cant u just not say anything?

Anyways, sorry to see u go, cant remember u on the topics, but i know what u mean, sometimes its not always a friendly place to post a question, or even try to help someone, but its still a lot better (thaks to the moderators) than other forums out there. Anyways, good luck with everything.

1) You don't know how other members are disciplined. It is not a public affair.

2) Your warn level is not shown to other members. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it was.

Basically, it goes like this: it does not matter who starts what. If you participate in it, you will be disciplined. To say, "well he started it!" is about as childish as it gets, and I'm surprised anybody on here is using that as a defense.

Feel the same way as you.

Which is too bad since I've gotten a lot out of Neowin (link to an excellent keyboard I didn't know about, link to a VGA to DVI cable, etc.) yet there are still idiots running around here that are now on ignore :o

I now what you mean bro. I blame the Web 2.0 revolution. It use to be when people joined forums or participated forums it was because they needed help or wanted to help. Thats not the case anymore. We have one post wonders bashing everything from Vista to scrambled eggs.

P.S: who remember where you could click on ANY of the current forum threads and be captivated by what you read and more so. after you had finished reading you actually LEARNED something.

This is simply going off topic unfortunately. Members can be ignored if you dislike their posts and when you sign up you agree to follow our rules here. If you don't, you get warned. We can't force anyone to stay, but leaving simply because some members act immature is silly.

On the farewell song note...

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
