Today a so-called Amiga site which was supposed to allow freedom of speech has now become a exposed heavily censored website, webmasters acting like children insulting members of the site just because they stand up and say what they think.
I feel betrayed.

Freedom of speech is no more on a popular Amiga site. : Comment 181 of 238 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Raffaele on 06-Feb-2004 02:19 GMT | To avoid that the concept of writing on a forum could be considered a "priviledge" amongst some moron webmasters and moderators I post again things I wrote in msg. 117 in order that the correct concept of "opportunity" that the forums bring to us will be known, accepted and spreaded around.

You just created an opportunity to write in, and invited the users to write in it...
>It is WE USERS that keep your forum site alive
(by adding news, making comments, pointing to site links)
>Owners of a forum site must be grateful that WE USERS write on it...

>...else, without traffic, no one will pay for advertising on its pages!
Certainly we users must follows rules you made on the forum site (its your site) and keep using a certain degree of decency in netiquette
But...
If you don't like the situation that: It is us, the users who made the choice to write or not to write into your forum site, then...
>...you can just start a BLOG site...
...or a news site... and update it and maintain it you alone!!!
(and remember to say farewell to the majority of the sponsors)
With respect,
