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? Read on

The reason for Amiga.org's outage is revealed.. : Comment 8 of 59ANN.lu

I tried to post this comment to Amiga.org but it was deleted in about an hour. Apparently Wayne wants his users to listen to only his side of the story. If he had only taken my pictures off his site when I asked, there would have been no problems.

Wayne and all,
Please allow me to tell the other side of the story.
Back in 1997, I posted a series of pictures from the 1997 Gateway Show on the CUCUG site clearly marked as copyrighted materials. Someone recently posted my pictures on Amiga.org. I'm guessing Wayne, et al, did not even know where they came from or the fact that they were copyrighted.
I sent three e-mails using forms on the site and directly to Wayne asking that the pics be removed. I received no response but read in the forums that Wayne had indeed received my e-mails. Still no response. Wayne now claims that he did respond, but I never received a response.
I waited a couple of weeks to give Wayne a chance to remove the pics and then finally wrote to Communitech who is the ISP providing access to Amiga.org. I asked that they remove my files from their server. I did not ask that they take Amiga.org down--that would be silly.
Clearly Communitech over reacted. I am pleased to see that my files have been removed but it was crazy to take the whole site down. Amiga enthusiasts rely on Amiga.org and I regret that service was interrupted--that was not my intention.
I can understand why Wayne is angry and why he has resorted to name-calling. I'd be mad, too, if my ISP took my site down for three days. He's just reacting.
Thanks to all who took the time to read my response.
