RenegadeJr Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 It seems the news on this site is creeping to a halt most days. For instance, this Obama story has been at the top for a day and a half! yikes. Maybe they need more reporters (just my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just the way things play out every single week, nothing we can really do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take a peek in the 'Site Announcements' forum, you'll notice a thread entitled 'Now hiring: Neowin Writers' ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Most of the news editors post their stories directly to the front page, most of the stuff in BPN and RWI is posted by members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdsams Veteran Posted August 31, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2009 weekends are quite slow for technology news and most people (myself included) spend their weekends away from the PC...if you feel that you have time to consitently write news on the weekend then apply for a news position :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted August 31, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm surprised no story on the new OS X release. Not even a peep on the front page I was going to do it, but I thought someone had. And then realised we hadn't, but it seems a bit silly a good few days later, lol.

BetaAddict Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 It's just one of those weekends. If it makes anyone feel better, we are only 9 more days until the Apple iPod event and the forum should be flooded with at least a few of those threads. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodel Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I find that it feels slower too, which is why I'm browsing this part of the forum. The front page always loads fairly slowly and the white background is the last thing to pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarm Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I find that it feels slower too, which is why I'm browsing this part of the forum. The front page always loads fairly slowly and the white background is the last thing to pop up. Exactly, in fact the white background loading last is the reason I'm not coming here as often now, even a slow loading site is usually readable whilst you're waiting for images to load, but since the design of Neowin is buggy because the background loads last (and not first), it means you have to wait. I'm on a 6MB BT connection in the UK, and it's clearly one of the slowest web sites I visit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Maybe he calmed down, alot of people expressed vocal discontent with the spamming Either that or he was aiming for a certain post count and stopped caring after that. Or maybe the combination of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
