Slimy Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 If you can't remember your first or first topic, go to your profile, click Find member's posts/topics, click on last and scroll down to the bottom :) I joined because I needed desperate help as I had succesfully deleted the administrator account on my XP box leaving only a guest account. I stuck around because Neowin was the only site to produce a solution and then I discovered the SD&A forum. It took me a while to realize that BPN is where I would grow and even longer to discover that we had a front page where I could be most useful :p edit: damn typos Andrewisthebest9731, QwertyLover, hellowalkman and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/595450-how-did-you-find-neowin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

accesser Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I was a guest in Neowin for ages using the forums to help me find answers for the studies I was doing at TAFE. My first ever post was when hotmail upgraded to 250MB https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...=229864&hl= I got 446 replies to that thread so that was a nice way to start out on Neowin since then I?ve had a strong belief that forums go both ways you should help out others as much as possible as well as ask questions of other people.

phantasmorph Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Don't specifically remember, but it had something to do with the as-yet-to-be-released Windows XP. Of course, back then, things weren't so strict, so it probably had to do with the leaked volume license copy that got out a month before XP hit the shelves...

NightmarE D Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Someone told me it was possible to apply other themes to XP by patching a file and I did a search that brought me to Neowin. I downloaded the patch and a theme but can't remember what the theme was. It might have been Luna Element. I think my first post was a thread I created asking where to locate a driver or BIOS update for an old computer I had that I was re-building to give a friend.

tsactuo Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I found neowin many years ago (probably around 2001 or 02) from an affiliate banner at the www.the-ctrl-alt-del.com news site. I visit neowin back from then, but I never bothered to get into the forums :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/595450-how-did-you-find-neowin/#findComment-588934057 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee G. Veteran Posted October 21, 2007 Veteran Share Posted October 21, 2007 I first saw Neowin in July 2004 (don't ask me how it took so long to find it!), being linked from another forum, which has now closed down. However, I was addicted to using that forum and didn't want to get addicted to another so I didn't sign up. Then I read on a blog that Luna Element 1 was released, and the blog post linked to Neowin, so I signed up then... I think it's safe to say I'm addicted to Neowin, like most of us here :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/595450-how-did-you-find-neowin/#findComment-588934557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawx Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 This hacker guy I knew who we screwed around with had a site, awayfromkeyboard.net, and he had an image folder, in there was a random desktop screenshot of his, and on the taskbar was Neowin.net, I admired him back then, so I went, read around, joined!

TheBrat Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I was griping to a friend about the foolishness that seems to permeate a similar type website and he suggested Neowin. I came, I registered, and I guess I will find out soon enough if the grass is greener on this site. jeeny lucifer and jj rice 1 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/595450-how-did-you-find-neowin/#findComment-588935973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
