+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted February 12, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted February 12, 2010 I cant remember the actual reason, but I came here linked from iexbeta looking for download links of the beta of IE5 i think it was. Back then the rules were very lax so links to the betas were put on the front page all the time. I remember my first post being in the desktop thread thou.

SharpGreen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've been coming to neowin for tech news for sooo long I don't even know how I found it or why I registered. I do know I've seen at least 3 major site revisions since I started coming here. I used have a set of 4 sites that'd open when I opened my browser, Neowin is the only one that is still in that list, the other 3 either closed down or became total crap. I also don't think this is my original account, I had one here under rstat1, but forgot the PW and no longer had the email address I used to register it. Anyone here remember xBeta.net?

ToneKnee Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Came over from Overclockers.com, not sure why I signed up here, but it was something to do with the early Longhorn days, but I do remember coming to Neowin just before XP was released, just didn't bother signing up until Overclockers.com died down a bit.

Pc_Madness Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 It was that place you could sign up to to get into Beta's or something, but I never actually joined up. Came back a year or two later to ask a question I believe. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/595450-how-did-you-find-neowin/page/26/#findComment-592255988 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted February 19, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 19, 2010 found it years ago.. this was THE SITE that gave the latest news on the windows and such.... i believe i found very soon after the sites original creation :) stayed here for a long time, loved the theme's for XP... and the forums... stopped visiting, after i realized i have almost 4000 posts, and i am wasting time here. now i drop by once in a while... since it is still a great news source.. not as rouge as it used to be, but it is all for the better. ps. interesting to see the same people i used to remember, still active and posting... so many years after :D you know who you are - you have more the 20k posts now Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/595450-how-did-you-find-neowin/page/26/#findComment-592256960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibutsu Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Was bored, waiting for co-workers to come online. My usual forum didn't have much going on today, so I just remembered neowin. Looking at the forums, it seemed good, so I signed up.

Scotishirony Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I had an issue with wmplayer.exe running all the time (process) in the background I googled it it brought me to this forum. Someone had the same issue with Vista SP1 (I have XP Pro SP3) I figured out what was causing it during reading the post. I Registered to this forum so I can help the person with the same problem. I have very advanced computer skills that involve security, & virus, malware, malicious programs, and trojan annalist & removal. Also customizing of Windows, tweaking, also troubleshooting. I figured hell I could help others also problems I have someone can help me then I can help others. Plus I have my own Windows forum which no one goes to lol.

e-berlin.org Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well, while searching for hardware/software answers I was redirected to posts in this forum a lot of times in the last few years, so few days ago I decided to finally register and I'm glad I did.

itzwolf Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have been browsing and reading this site since the beginning to be honest. I simply never signed up for an account because I was never big on forum usage. Over the years I've changed and I was reading like usual and decided hell with it let me sign up for an account. I actually had issues with NeoWin while at work before the upgrade and such where pages took forever to load and the register page never would load (I tried a couple times). Thankfully that problem was resolved recently and I then signed up for an account. A few days after registering I thought for all the great free information I've read about over the years, I felt moved to become a subscriber and I don't regret it! :cool: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/595450-how-did-you-find-neowin/page/26/#findComment-592359184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
