Amigaworld.net is currently down due to hard drive failure.
Everything possible is being done to return the site to normal, however we are unable to give an ETA at this time.
In the meantime, the Amigaworld IRC network continues to function via the remaining US and European Amigaworld Servers
They are:-
UK.Amigaworld.Net
US2.Amigaworld.Net
NO.Amigaworld.Net
Updates will continue to be posted here as and when we know.

Amigaworld.net down : Comment 214 of 281 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kay on 03-Sep-2004 16:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 177 (XraalE): I respect your decision to switch to the blue side. It WAS a long wait, and MOS/Peg seems to be a nice system. I don't know who said it was a "crap, bad copy of AmigaOS", but at least I don't think that is the attitude among the majority of reds.
As for the blue trolls not being answered on AWN, I think that is a good policy. I have tried reasoning with trolls, I've seen more patient and eloquent people try reasoning with trolls, and it never seems to amount to more than a lot of anger and wasted time. Excluding them is one of the things which keep the atmosphere on AWN as it is, I think.
Additionally, I do think you are underestimating the critical sense of the AWN crowd. We are quite capable of seing facts, and criticism against the AmigaOne and the triarchy is not outlawed. I think we would all prefer a lower price tag and working DMA under Linux. An I for one think that "DMA won't work under Linux" is a flaw the triarchy should have admitted at an earlier stage (although, given the atmosphere at the time, I can also see why they did not). But there's really no point in obsessing over it, as some people around here do. It's still the fastest Amiga I've ever had, and with the updates of the OS4 pre-release, it's going to get a lot better (I've seen the latest beta, so I know what I'm talking about).
Anyway, have fun with your Pegasos. :-)
