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 71 of 281 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Johan Rönnblom on 02-Sep-2004 22:54 GMT | I dislike AW.net because threads are full of inane nonsense
(regularly accompanied by deplorable
spelling/punctuation/capitalisation), and if someone questions the
nonsense they usually get attacked personally, or a bunch of people
try to change the subject by moaning and bitching about something
completely unrelated (usually related to MorphOS, Genesi or the
Pegasos, but not always).
Actually I don't think it's all AW's fault as I can see a somewhat
similar tendency on a site like MorphZone at times. That is, people
go off with some completely unrealistic speculation. The difference is
that if someone corrects them, there are no personal attacks. People
might even listen, and at least they usually don't actively disregard
obvious facts pointed out to them. Also, moderators don't give
reprimands to people for having an even slightly critical attitude.
Threads are not locked or deleted in the event that something
interesting is posted. Flaws or suspected bugs in MorphOS or the
Pegasos are discussed with interest, rather than people changing the
subject whenever a potential problem is mentioned. |
