I remember finding Neowin because I was looking for information on this thing called Whistler. I then lurked for a long time until I finally joined, posted for a while, and now I'm back to lurking again.

To get feedback on a website.

Infact, I was just looking back on some of my earlier posts and it was almost cringeworthy - don't know how you guys put up with me :p

A few examples:-

You didnt look 2 hard

The amazing extraordinary spectucularily easily found link to IE6 download

Have fun!

--- ergh, how rude was that?

Bump?

--- you don't see bump that often these days...

Installed on an extremely old Pentium II earlier and it rox! Its replaced firefox as my default browser on 2 of my PC's now.

--- rox, eh?

It's like looking through a book of photos of you when you were younger.

I think I was looking at how to tweak Windows or something like that. Thats what I used to do, just mess about with Windows all the time.

No time for that anymore! I just kinda plod along now I spose. :p

I found NeoWin when "Tech T.V." was the "big thrill".....(long and gone.......but I officially registered with neowin in 2001-ish.....then lost my internet for a few years.......but I've had it back for more years than I was without.....and I've lingered for a long time as well as some of the previous posters, but I still hang around).....and, I still love this place! (Much joy goes toward "snyper".....dude, I would buy U a beer anytime....that is, if you were to visit west Texas, US......), and although I don't post very often, I have to say, I still love this place!!! (Neowin, that is!!!)

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

It took you 6-7 years to register, only took me one! ;)

I?m not sure how I found Neowin but I kept reading the front page news because codes to get in Microsoft Beta's were posted, I got in to the Office 2003 Beta because of Neowi:D:D Then looking back I registered when I needed help with setting up a basic network... which now seems kind of silly as I?m at Uni studying a course all about networking... but back then i didnt have a clue!

I don't recall where exactly I found the link to Neowin. I do recall that I first came here during the heyday of the 'Whistler' betas, and stuck around because Neowin had the news before other sites did.

Found it from mess.be, which i used to use a lot to get msn news and stuff, though i hardly visit it at all now :/

Signed up here in 2004, but didn't make my first post til late 2005 i think.

Edit: Or it could have been from wincustomize... I can't remember. But my daily website rounds involved mess, wincustomize, and neowin.
