[Rant] TO THOSE WHO DON'T GET IT | ANN.lu |

It's time to put aside pityful and damaging behavior. The very existance of the community is at stake.
Amiga needs to show now how many active users are out there, and by active I mean people who are willing to invest money in hardware and software. You want to show you're one of them? Get the $50 coupon (and free t-shirt) for an AmigaOne system; you don't care? Don't do anything at all, don't come complaining later when you'll find out that in the real world companies need to show their investors that there is a user base willing to purchase their product. And if you think that even without Amiga Inc. the community is going to survive think again: the numbers are getting smaller by the day, just two or three years ago people were saying there were still 300.000 active users, today we don't even know if there are 50,000 or 10,000 or even less. Without everyone's support the community <b>WILL</b> die. Time to set aside our differences and do one last effort to stay alive. Either you're in or you're out.

TO THOSE WHO DON'T GET IT : Comment 18 of 66 | ANN.lu |
Posted by DaveW on 25-Jun-2002 05:29 GMT | In reply to Comment 12 (Troels Ersking): Well said. I get the impression that 90% of the lame behaviour recently has come from cheesegrate. I dont understand why he thinks that others should bother picking through his childish flame inciting name calling posts just to find the question he is really asking and then bothering to answer him in a civilised tone.
I no longer come to ANN to be informed, I come to ANN to sit here and laugh at the cheesegrates of this world when I am really really bored or fed up.
The comments section of ANN has become one bad joke full of kiddy-playground antics. |
