1) Tell us why you joined Neowin;

can't remember how i found it, but it was one of the most rounded boards i've ever seen....

2) And what kept you here as an active user of the site.

because there's always something to read, and reply to

and just curious, how much space does 10m posts take up? or is there too much other stuff involved to say?

Joined for clarifying a doubt regarding dual channel memory and stayed here because of the vibrant community. Here you are sure to get a response to your post in under 5 - 10 mins and so here I am helping others with what I know and getting help from others when I need. Neowin is the only tech forum I frequent.

Hi there ! Been an active member since August 2001, almost ten years already !

I remember vividly why I came her initially. Codename Whistler !

Even if I am out of the country I always visit Neowin for my tech related news.

It is also set as my homepage at home and at work !

Great community !

2001 REPRESENT! :D

Only the Admins i think are lower than my #698. :)

I think we should all send Rappy (and sniper) a beer lol. They probably did a good 2% of the 10M by themselves!

I am #645 :shifty:

I couldn't know about Neowin back in 2001 and I wouldn't have registered back then simply because... I didn't have any PC at home nor Internet before December 2003 :p

I joined Neowin because of Windows customization back in August 2004, that means I had internet since only 8 months, not bad.

I was quite a notable member in the years 2006-7 (around that, can't remember) in the Hardware Hangout. Specially helping members to build new PCs.

But then, I lost interest in hardware and computers in general. :(

Funny, Neowin is the only forum that I stuck to.

Hehe, :laugh: lucky devil. I figured one would pop their head up as soon as I said that. I'm sure there's others, I remmeber someone being like 19x - maybe that was Tom Warren (creamhackered) but guess he's not on here much anyways (Tom is still cool in my book :blush: )

Our 10yr anniversary is coming up also, can you imagine that! I started back in the days when "Watercolor" was the new hotness. :rofl: Oh man, i'm starting to feel old now!

I joined back in 2003, I worked as part time tech support for a dialup provider in my area. I have found this site to be not only a wealth of information, but also active and have maintained a great page layout.

I joined on October 27, 2007... Wow almost four years ago. I watched the news and the forums regarding Windows Vista (Codenamed Longhorn) releases and builds.

I am still a member and supporter because it keeps me up to date with the current gadgets and news.

1) Tell us why you joined Neowin;

lets see, odds are i followed a story here from search or a news site i no longer use cuz I come here now, DANG its been 7 years lol

2) And what kept you here as an active user of the site.

to be honest, all the non tech news forum stuff, like show us your workstations, monthly desktops and the sorts

awwwww, that totally sucks that I lost my original account. I remember lurking on dal net in the beta days of very early xp (back when they were calling it windows eXPerience) and neowin was listed on there, and poof! been here ever since. I love the community, and I stay around due to the customization threads, the everyday news, and all the juicy beta information that gets released. haven't always posted, but have loved many a thread throughout the years. here's to another 10 glorious years!

Congrats!

Why:

Followed a link from at another site (Bink or MSFN) and liked what I saw.

What:

The tech news, the fast and furious forums (never dull), the firm but sensible moderation, and of course the fellow members!

I have been around for quite while and reading BudMan's posts, answers and how he is a network guru, I thought to join and be part of this great place. So somehow BudMan was the reason I guess and he was and still my idol. :D

2) And what kept you here as an active user of the site.

Friendly, helpful members and staff.

1) Tell us why you joined Neowin

I'd been reading the articles for a while, this has always been my one-stop place for computing news, and I eventually decided to try and give something back by becoming a forum member

2) And what kept you as an active user of the site.

I've always felt welcome here (by both the staff, who've been friendly and polite in my encounters with them, and the members I've spoken to on the site and off the site as a result of finding them here) and always been happy with the support I've been given, I would like to use this point of this thread to thank every member who has ever posted a news article I have read or replied to one of my various support posts.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
