Steven P. Administrators Posted August 16, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 16, 2021 Site went live Oct 1 2000 but we lost all the cgi based content when we upgraded to php and our first forum (I think that was July 2001) which is why I show as having registered then instead of Oct 2000. Congrats Elliot, visitation has dropped quite a bit which is sad, but I am grateful for those that stick with us! I will have to see about milestone badges 😛 spikey_richie, Brandon H, devHead and 2 others 4 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1410514-20-years-on-neowin/#findComment-598668423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnuman Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Just passed my 19th year here. Remember when you wanted a "fancy" site it was CGI scripts or heck Coldfusion but it was clunky and slow. DHTML was still new at the time. Steven P. 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1410514-20-years-on-neowin/#findComment-598670097 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in the beginning we used Greymatter CMS and it was great, but there was no way (at the time) to port the content over when we switched to PHP. We've had a custom CMS built from PHP since 2002.

PabUK Veteran Posted August 27, 2021 Veteran Share Posted August 27, 2021 Today it's my turn for hitting 20 years on Neowin. Not a big user of the forums these days but I still visit the front page every day. I remember being on the old forum as well. I think I left joining this "new" one a little while because I wasn't sure it was going to stick around, which seems quite amusing now. Here's to another 20 years! 😁 Steven P. 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1410514-20-years-on-neowin/#findComment-598671577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
