In order to satisfy both our host and ourselves that Neowin stays the tech site it started out to be just over a year ago we have decided to bring in some additional changes.
We no longer support the Chat function on Neowin, we do not have the resources to monitor it 24/7 Therefore it will not be linked from the main site anymore.
The Babes forum is also dropped. This is not to say that Jokes can no longer be posted in the General Discussion forums, it means we no longer support or allow the posting of images that are in most cases either copyrighted or that people find offensive.
We have received notice that people have sent emails to our host expressing concern about the safety of their childrens browsing behavior on Neowin.
We are not all about who can post the hottest image.. we are trying to deliver tech news for everyone to understand.
Attachments Let me be clear on this once and for all, Neowin is sponsored this means we do not pay anything towards the running of the site, apart from the fact that this site has begun to cost most of the staffs personal life keeping it online and moderated we can not afford to have images go into our database anymore.
The decision to drop support for attachments did not come lightly, it came late, that is all, we had advice from all areas of hosting on this matter even so far as vbulletin developers themselves were amazed that the board still functioned with the amount of traffic it was getting. accept it, use your free ISP space or signup for a free account if you want to help Neowin its a small price to pay.
