So we passed 10 Million forum posts!


Recommended Posts

This is indeed a great achievement for neowin, 10 Million posts and counting. Amazing feet of commitment and innovation from the neowin team. Congratz to one and all at neowin. The support provided by the members shows how popular the forum is and a job well done by the team.

I joined neowin in late 2003, and neowin.net is the first site i visit every day to get my daily dose of tech news, information and at times help from the community for pritty much anything and everything. I cannot think of any other site on the internet that matches up to this expectation.

I am sure that I am not alone when I say that the quality of information, the platform for discussion and the design/user experience are second to none.

All the very best and I hope that this journey lasts forever.

If you joined in 2001 and still active:

Anyway, from myself and the staff I would like to thank everyone for making this target possible; and offer any member that is still active from 2001 a free Tier 2 account.

All you have to do is either reply here, or PM me to set you up, if I miss your post, do PM me so you don't miss out!

Joined in Dec 2001 i do believe, which I'll find out if I'm right once I post this, used to be big on betas and used to regularly visit this site, betanews and winsupersite.. now really only the former

I don't remember how long it's been, OK 02

Joined because I had some questions regarding PC hardware and this was the best place I found

Stayed because it's still the best place to get fast and accurate help regarding pretty much anything PC/Mac related

C'mon! I lurked for one week too long before registering! :laugh:

I was told about Neowin in an IRC channel dedicated to Whistler/XP way back when. I think it was simply #WindowsXP on DALnet if memory serves correctly. The Whistler news and later the customization forum kept me coming back and eventually the community became so diverse but still yet connected that I almost had no choice but to stick around. Somewhere in between I decided to register. I don't post a lot, but I'm sure I've spent more time here than any on other site on the Internet.

I've been holding off subcribing for so long, I'm just glad I finally did it. It almost felt like paying off a debt :laugh:. Good luck to the post-2001s in getting a tier 2!

Congrats on 10million posts... and Neowin has been a daily routine for a long time, and I'm glad it is too, since it's the best site that I've come across that has yet been a troll fest. :p All we have to deal with is Rappy... and that is completely worth it. :D

Congrats Neowin!

Been a member since April 2002 and just passed 9 years here. Neowin is always opened in my browser, and will always be my favourite tech site.

I came in 2002 in search for news about Whistler. And I kept visiting att for the superb skinning community here. That changed drasticly with Vista sadly, but the community have always been good none the less.

Now I mostly hang out in the BPN though. This is mostly because my job keeps my busy with the more tech and support things. So after work Neowin keep me upated with the news around the world. Looking forward to Windows 8 and what this community will come up with.

Here's for 10m more!

I joined in 2001, and I'm still active, actually, I've become increasingly active of the last 2-3 years, although not as much as our resident spammers ;)

heck, I'll even tell you why I joined;)

The Windows Whistler beta.... oh, and thats the codename for Windows XP for all of you who can't remember;)

and yeah, it was concidered crap in comparison to Windows 2000 by many at it's RTM release. It was SOOO SLOW, and it was the fisherprice OS and so on. Well, I loved it then, I remember using it as my main OS as soon as the RC's hit.

Neowin was TH? number one place for your latest beta-kick and leaks :D

And whats keeping me here?

A great community, with great people (that might not always agree with each other, but hey, we are all human), a great staff and

the number one site for my tech news :D

Seesh I've just noticed I've been kicking around this site for nearly 10 years now. Happy to be contributing with my sub

Here's to the next 10 years!

Edit: Just noticed by member number too - 1058! Sooo close to sub 1000 club!

Edit2: Sub extensions I hear :-) Neobond over here :waves:

I joined because I had a question about something... I can't remember why it was 9 years ago. I had read the forum from its inception, in fact I stumbled across it because it was the only tech site that was able to get through my high school's content filter at the time.

I stayed here because there's always something interesting to read, and occasionally I'll say something somewhat useful (hence my low post count). It's a nice place to ask a few questions about things and rant about other things when needed...

I liked the site so much that I purchased a Tier2 subscription last year.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
