10 years and counting for me.

Neowin, even though it's changed completely thru the years, is still the backbone of my web browsing experience.

Actually wherever I tend to go in the world, it's one of the things that make me feel comfortably 'at home' :)

:| A 4-year-old thread resurrects!

Lol - I lurked on Neowin for 2 years (2001-2003) before finally joining on Aug 4th, 2003.

Nice to see all these old timer's reminiscing from their retirement homes :p (just kidding)

(I used to lurk back in my xp days, when I realised thoosje's sidebar's news feed gadget defaulted to neowin, and that was my introduction to neowin like 6 or 7 years ago, even tho I only joined just over 2 years ago, mostly my experience of the site, and it's users have been fun, worthwhile and enlightening, I would go as far as educational.. the things I've learned from some of the forum posts have helped answer some questions I wouldn't have dared ask.

And it's always nice to meet new people, even if it's online looking for advice on something :)

Another 3 years under the Neowin Bridge. Makes me 11 years as a member here.

I was quite suprised to see so many "ol timers" still active on Neowin.

A great History when you look back from the early days.

Thanks for posting guys.

Thanks for coming back/staying :p As a Supervisor who's only been a member here since 2007, it's interesting for me to learn about the history by seeing old threads and members who have been here from the start.

I've been here too long.

I don't really know what that means though. It's like saying I've been using soap for too long. There's not really anything else out there which is as useful. :rofl:

I remember this thread from the first time round...I guess that shows how long I've been around.

Coming up on 9 years. I couldn't imagine what I would be doing if I hadn't been introduced to Neowin. It's pretty much the first and last site I visit when I open my browser.

I was around when iexbeta was doing not so legal things ala XP beta links, and Internet Explorer as well.

I was checking out the forums for a while and I think it was when Steve/Redmak decided to host a beta in the forums for signed up members only that I ended up joining. Otherwise I was around since day 1 or 2. :D

Gunna be around for a while yet too, can't get rid of me that easy!

Who let this riff-raff in, 10 years or gtfo

Im just stirring guys, theres no super secret 10 year only thread....:p

Great to see a community with so many long-term members in it, says a lot I think, will always remember Windows Neptune/Whistler as it lead me to neowin and we lived happily ever after, the end.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2. Download: VidCoder 12.20 | 47.0 MB (Open Source) Download: Portable VidCoder 12.19 | 89.3 MB Link: VidCoder Home Page | Github | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
