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:

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
