altezza Veteran Posted May 16, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2002 Interesting topic...well let us see how Neowin members here discover Neowin for the first time and what makes them decided to become Neowin member. Let the discovery begin! :D P.S. I found Neowin when I was browsing through some tech news. I click a link to Neowin site and browsing through them and because of large numbers of friendly member and interesting and yet useful topics in the forum, I decided to join in. Neowin's surely the best tech news site! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/27182-how-did-you-discover-neowin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keldyn Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I found neowin whilst reading about early alpha/beta builds of windows XP. Back then the site's appearance was radically different but i kinda liked it. The content was well displayed, and from reading the forums everyone seemed to be a friendly bunch so i stayed. Course...i was in lurker mode for a long while until i finally decided to register. I've been addicted ever since. This place rocks.:cool: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/27182-how-did-you-discover-neowin/#findComment-245166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyy4 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I found Neowin after I got my hands on Windows XP, and I was trying to download the PowerToys for it. It so happens that Neowin hosted them, and I decided to find out what this neowin.net was. It turns out to be heaven for me. After being unable to read attachments, I finally registered, and it was, again, a great action. I fit in perfectly with truly good people (i have many people in my school who just condescend to me). Thank you, Neowin.net! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/27182-how-did-you-discover-neowin/#findComment-245174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aco Veteran Posted May 16, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2002 Someone mentioned that Neowin.net had some screenies of a beta build of XP - can't remember the details. I came here, looked at the screenies, then the site went down for a few weeks (if I remember correctly). When the site came back online I visited occasionally, I found the the forums after a few weeks and joined. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/27182-how-did-you-discover-neowin/#findComment-245197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
