What? Neowin needs... revenue?

I thought this place simply ran off of adblockers, love, slavery and Neobond's semen. Hm, what a strange concept. A forum. That requires... revenue to operate? This changes EVERYTHING!

Have the boys at the lab confirm this!

Your post made me want to Re-Subscribe.. I have been meaning to do it for months now but never got the time.. but thanks to you.. I am going to resubscribe this week.

I have been a loyal Neowinian since the dawn of age.. back in the time where Neowin was not just a forum but something more.. Things changed, people passed away, got fired, left.. whatever reason.. I still stayed.. and am going to till well something happens to me.

Neowin has been my Second choice in navigating to, first has been Gmail. We don't subscribe to seek benefits from Neowin and it's staff, sure thats an extra.. We subscribe to support the staff and the site itself to see it excel into greater things! Hello?; Gifts!, contests, Servers, Less Downtime - All because of Subscribers supporting Neowin.

Your final dot point is harsh, Ad's make or break the site, Neowin has done so well to make the ads less 'Attention seeking' and more simple.. You should of seen it waaay back when.

In conclusion, You're a veterinarian on here! Why on earth are you coming out with these allegations is beyond me :/ Leave or Stay; Neowin is doing damn well right now so, here's beer_yum.gif to more subscribers!

You make a good point, as Neobond has stated in the past any money that is made is usually put back into the site in the form of new features, competitions and contests. So by supporting neowin by subscribing, your actually making the place better :)

nice to see some more subscribers coming on board :yes:

No way, I'm not going to support a site that's wasted so much of my life! The quicker it goes down the quicker I can get outdoors!

Just kidding of course :p

If you don't wish to subscribe, then don't, but don't discourage others from doing so (it looks as though it had the opposite effect though). :)

Lol you got 2 rep for quoting what I said, but I don't get any rep for saying it originally :p

What no rep love for me?! :whistle:

I'd have rep'd you but I ran out of my daily allowance (even with the extra you get with being a sub.) I'll remind myself to try tomorrow :).

The OP has succeeded in one way: This thread got more people to subscribe. Good job, ozgeek.

Well at least one good thing came out of this thread: More users subscribed.

Reverse psychology at work here. :shifty:

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
