Forum: Why does this "community" suck so much? : Comment 13 of 28ANN.lu
Posted by Iggy Drougge on 22-Feb-2003 19:03 GMT
Two ideas:
1) We no longer have our old mates the Atari users to make fun of and spit at. Wars have always been a good method to contain internal conflicts. With no outside enemies, there is a risk of civil war.
2) Pegasos/MOS versus AmigaOne/OS4. This can't be overstated. Everyone in this community has hopes, expectations and doubts concerning this matter, and with two rivalling factors, the conflict is inevitable. Just about every flame thread on ANN stems from this, too, especially due to a loud but small troll community who are more interested in creating strife than in the merits of either side. I sincerely doubt that any of our trolls use either MOS or are particularly interested in OS4. Of course, there are some people involved, like Hermans and Bouma, who are quite good at stirring up the other camp, and BBRV, whose attitude is a bit too demanding for our small community.
Without the platform/OS argument, ANN would be a whole lot more silent. You don't see any Photogenics vs. PerfectPaint or SAS/C vs. StormC wars.
