with google

I found it when I needed to get some pre-release bootscreens of Windows 95 back in 2008

I found BetaArchive.com through old microsoftcollectionbook.com forum in 2010 Q2

I found it looking for the HL2 WC mappack leak of 2003. I didn't join for another year though xD

I found a link with description of BetaArchive in a Post of Taringa!.

I found it through google when I was searching for some betas.

I found BA when I was searching on Google for some betas.

Google: Abandonware Betas Windows 98

In a google news post

Searching for more Longhorn betas... I like them!

I found about BA when first windows 8 build leaked.

Found out about it on a news site. I think Windows 8 News. I tried other forums before but they had so many rude people and almost no rules so it was a terrible experiance. BA is great!

I was looking for the Half-Life 2 leaked map sources of 2003 (known as the WC mappack, a collection of map sources spanning the development of Half-Life 2). I'm pretty sure they're not actually on the FTP yet, but there was a thread in Game Betas which I found via Google which linked to a Megaupload download, if I remember right. In fact, I should really upload them to the FTP, but I'm not sure what category they'd go in.

So yeah, that was quite a while back, and I didn't make an account at the time. I just read the one thread about the WC mappack. Later on, I joined because a friend (the user 'Windows XP' on BetaArchive) told me the FTP resource was awesome. And, he's right. The FTP resource is awesome, the community is awesome, the help and support in all regions and eras of computing are awesome, and generally the site is awesome. So yeah, thanks Andy for making this site so awesome, and thanks to the whole community for helping him do that.

I think I found out about it on some different forums not sure if I can mention here. First I looked on Google what it was about though and I'm glad I did was well worth it.

Found out from MDL during the first 8 leak.

I heard from it before but I never registered, then the windows 8 leaks came and I waited for the forum to calm down again so I could explore the BA quality instead of all the rubbish posted by new members to get FTP acces and the evening before the 7989 leak I got acces to the server.

Google for Win7 build FTP.

Windows 8 7850 leak xD

Heh, so many people joined after the Windows 8 leaks!

i was looking for leaked games source code, then i found in a google search the ba website... anyway does anyone know a website focused on leaked source code (games and other softwares)??

Saw it randomly some months (years) ago, then remembered and joined it.

I find about "This release has been brought to you by BetaArchive" when downloading from IssacD's server 2 years ago then registered here.

I found because of all the newsfeeds telling that Win8 got leaked unto the BetaArchive, so I got curious and ended up registering

Along with hundreds of others (I don't think it made it into the thousands).

I found about betas on a post on Taringa!, then I started searching for NT 5.0 betas and I ended up here.
