Think back to the 90's. What do you remember? Nirvana, gangster rap, Vanilla Ice and...
Amiga Web Directory.
Wow, that sure brings you back right? But what does AWD have to do with Amiga.org's outage?

The reason for Amiga.org's outage is revealed.. : Comment 24 of 59 | ANN.lu |

WTF was he supposed to do? Post a big diatribe on amiga.org and ann.lu, stirring up shit to no good end? I know -- how about a rant on c.s.a.misc? THAT always gets results, right? It's certainly in keeping with long standing Amiga tradition, but I doubt it would get results.
If Hisel's story is to be believed, he gave Hunt every chance to do the right thing. And once the pics were removed at gunpoint, so to speak, Hunt had the option to NOT make things worse.
However, if there's one thing you can count on Wayne Hunt for, it's reaction.
Personally, I don't see why anyone would give a rat's ass for these pics, but Hisel appears to have copyright and Hunt appears to be ready to lose his site over it. There are some screwed up priorities here.
In wonder what Hisel's response would have been had Hunt asked nicely, after the fact, for permission to continue showing them. Not really a possibility in this universe, but in an alternate universe where Wayne actually has manners.
Hey, it's a shitty situation no matter how you slice it. |
