Hi guys!

As part of our efforts to market the our upcoming upgrade to IPB3 and a new theme across the site, I'll be preparing some materials and would like your help! I'm trying to get hold of screenshots of Neowin from its very early stages. Can you help?

I suspect many of you may have screenshots lying around your machines, or you'll be better at using Archive.org to get hold of them anyway - so some images of the front page and/or forums from the different themes we've had would be great.

Full resolution please, and preferably where all the images are showing (Archive.org doesn't save all images but on occasions it does) - PNGs (JPGs at a push, but nothing that's been scaled down or reduced in quality too much).

Thanks!

Anyway: http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.neowin.net/

It has archived pages of Neowin dating back to 2001. It isn't complete though.

I originally read this topic and thought I didn't have any screenshots, until I realized in my early screenshot taking craze of browser layouts, that they also double as screenshots of Neowin's Swift layout.

Here's one that dates from 2005 (feel free to crop out the browser bits):

I took this and uploaded it to Wikipedia a while ago:

Aww, take another one with ClearType maybe?

EDIT: Makes you realise exactly how many subforums we have :o

EDIT2: Maybe a screen of the FP and an updated image of the logo?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
