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 242 of 281 | ANN.lu |
Posted by XraalE on 03-Sep-2004 17:52 GMT | In reply to Comment 241 (Sigurbjörn B. Lárusson): If you don't ask questions, how is it possible ever to get answers? Sometimes you have to get into someone's face to prove a point. Sometimes people will get angry, or trolls who love fighting will join in pick it up and turn it into a pointless insult marathon. But how is any of this worse than living in ignorance because you are unwilling or unable to ask some of the questions that really matter?
For example, an insight into Häuser and the Brainstormer affair gives a REALLY good insight into his involvement with the Escena A1, another Escena failure. Why did either fail? Why did Steffen and Ben not tolerate any idea that they would until they did? Does this have any bearing on the future of OS4? If so, why? If not, why not? A really important question is, is this the reason why bPlan and Hyperion simply won't see eye to eye any more?
Life is all about conflict. We can't all live and numbly nod and agree all the time. Sometimes, somehow, someone's going to have to say something that upsets someone. I absolutely see no point in hiding away from that. The only difference with the Amiga community is that it seems to like taking stuff to extremes, either extreme moderation or extreme flaming. This thread and the subjects it addresses are good examples of both. |
