I just got the word of a great new Amiga portal. AmigaWorld.net is a website similar to Amiga.org sans the flaming. Yes I said without the flaming, is this still possible within the Amiga community?! That would be fab don't you think so? :)

No, those bastards what run Amigaworld.net are so pro Amiga, nobody wants a site which is runned by Amiga worshippers who ban anyone that says anything negative against Amiga companies.

If you want to speak your mind go elsewhere, if you want to praise and worship Amiga and its companies goto Amigaworshipworld.net

Cool so what your saying is that any comment on any Amiga site should be all Anti Amiga.inc.

Thats the whole point of amiga sites, that is to knock Amiga.inc ^ partners as much as you can all the time about the same things some of them years ols again & again & again.

Cool time well spent.

#amigaworld on undernet is a kick ass channel and Davey puts a lot of work into creating a place for Amiga users (yes that’s you and I) to hang out. It’s an IRC channel for Gods sake! What’s with all the negativity? Some people need to seriously grow up in this place! Ya BIG woofter!

While that may be true, ever ask yourself how he got that channel to be so popular? (midely popular) Well he basically done what Genesi Buck bregade our doing at Amiga.org/ann.lu, poaching from the True Amiga users. We have BBRV slouching around drumming up support and running down the true OS in any way he can, then we have #Amigaworld coming and basically stealing the remaining true amiga/friends to his pit from the better Channel, along with his linux friends "you know the other channel i mean and i havent been to a better channel since". Well done on that, glad to see it never paid out in the end.

We the users never used to argued so much on ann as we have had in the past couple years. personally i blame alot of the companys invloved.
We have bill .inc the quiet man that cant make its mind up what they doing, then we have mr BB of geney who comes along and flames whenever he can, other companys bickering out in public forums and making asses of themselves, then we have trolls who dont see to care anything amiga, there just helping the downfall - a downfull as a community. Lets not break that up over over 2 companys with opposite visions in whats is right by the Amiga name, we our whats Amiga, not them, they both wouldnt be here if it wasnt for us.

Sorry Sideliner but you're way off base. Davey runs a site as a hobby. He's an experienced web guy and enjoys what he does. I'm also sure he will not tolerate the petty taunts and accusations of partisan behaviour that have been directed at Wayne over on Amiga.org.

Please desist from attempting to personally align him with any of the perceived baddies of the amiga world and all that relates to it.

A place where people live without dissent(free will/ability to form an opinion)

well if that sounds appealing to you....go for it, you and your girlfriends have fun playing tea.

Personally, I will be glad to see the mindless amiga worshippers go, you won't find a lot of hard core coders at a nancy boy fluff site like amigaworld.net...and that, is why its just not what 'Amiga' is about, anyone who has been around for a while knows the amiga was about 'creativity'...and that means 'people who create'...people with 'ideas'...and 'opinions'...people with strong personalities don't mind other people with strong personalities...its not offensive at all.

Free form flaming also means free from opinions so it appears. Only one opinion is tolerated. Even morphzone, which is clearly marked as a MorphOS related site, tolrates other opinions so long as they tolerate back. What the moderators there seem to classify as flaming would include any professional analysis of the actions of Amiga, Inc, or any discussion of the other viewpoints availible, be they from Amithlon, AROS or MorphOS.

Since when has the Amiga been a religion? It's just a computer guys.

This site is great! It's a HUGE resource of unintended humor!

For example check out this thread (I had to check the date to make sure it wasn't started in 2001):

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=68&forum=3&20

Yea, what we need is more optimism! Products are over-rated. Happy happy joy joy...

@MarkTime, Strobe

Doesn't it make you think about yourselves that you are repulsed from any site
which has a "no flaming" policy?

I don't concur with your descriptions of AmigaWorld.net at all, if I had
described MorphOS-News.de and MorphZone in such terms ( they run a similar ship ) I would have you jumping down my throats.

Thing is you, especially strobe, thrive on conflict. Nothing wrong with that, but not everyone wants to indulge 24x7.

>Shirts..ect... but all with reason & not a flame is site.

I'm not into flaming, and I wish AmigaWorld well - it looks like a lot of good effort went into it. And I do think it is quite okay they want to concentrate on other things than MorphOS - I find that a subset of what is "Amiga" (they do still cover AROS funnily), but nothing wrong with covering only a subset.

However, I do think the negativity expressed by many of the what I'd call very pro-Amiga people there is no where near within reason. It is quite overly optimistic. The fact that even the most die-hard of people must acknowledge negative things is only testament to how low Amiga Inc. has sunk.

Regular people looking at Amiga Inc. and its actions with objectivity would and do make a much harsher judgement. Many of those roam these parts too in my opinion. Amiga Inc. over the last three years has been a real disgrace and is hurting the Amiga name and Amiga community a lot. Those people don't like places where they are not allowed to make this very reasonable observation.

ANN and Amiga.org may have their weak moments and there is too much trolling for sure, but at least that honesty is here. People are allowed to state the obvious. And I do appreciate Wayne and Christian for allowing the free flow of thought. Thanks guys.

So basically what you're saying is that the way to save the computer we all love (we ALL love the amiga, right? Otherwise we wouldn't be spending ALL our day posting about *cough* Mac's on ANN/Amiga.org would we? Ok, so I know that A in ANN no longer stands for Amiga, but it sure as hell doesn't stand for Apple, right?) is to have LESS optimism? The more gloomy everyone feels about the Amiga coming back, the BETTER, yes? No? Well, since you're so keen on telling people how NOT to do it, maybe you for ONCE should try to tells us excactly what we SHOULD do. But you don't really have an opinion, do you? You're just here to troll?

Why not feel realistic for a change. We've felt overly optimistic for ten years. People are calling as they see it, and what they see is not pretty. Should we just ignore all that and be all happy-happy-joy-joy?

No wonder they are giving newcomers like Genesi a good look and a chance. You can feel the energy at MorphOS sites, which stems from the simple fact that people actually have their new PowerPC operating systems and are doing things.

As for the Amiga? Well, it's a disgrace really. When OS4 arrives there will be stuff to talk about and probably a lot of (too much?) forgiving too. Until then I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to jump up and down with joy about the official path...

IMHO.

More optimism, less optimism, it doesn't make a difference. Do you think the Mac or Windows market has survived due to optimism? It's not a religion, it's supposed to be a WIDGET!

I call it as I see it. These people couldn't find fault in anything the Amiga partners do, have done, or will ever do. They feed off nibbles of information released by these companies without any scrutiny. I honestly feel sorry for people who buy half a product based on the promise that it will one day become a complete product...of what they don't even know.

What SHOULD you do? Stop sticking your head in the sand and stop the self-flaggelation. My opinion of course, do what you will but don't mind me pointing and laughing in utter contempt.

I totally disagree. Something was posted a while ago that I rebated with *facts* as being yet another Buck lie. It was regarding the private phone numbers story, Buck said that he was challenged to find those numbers, I quoted the messages from ANN that proved that no challenge was offered and Buck's actions were totally arbitrary. The post was removed overnight. That site is worth trash to me.

Not totally true. Wayne has made it very clear lately that "As long as you are in his house, do not insult his guest." And that was referring to Elbox when they became an advertiser. Just recently a thread that looked bad for Genesi and Bill Buck was "locked by request" so nobody else could post (although I admit that I never heard who requested that). Then just a few days later they move to a new server and Genesi becomes a sponsor. Sounds to me like Genesi has the reigns now. I would look for a name change there soon.

That's BS. I made plenty of posts criticising Elbox on amiga.org, and no one bothered to censor me or have my posts removed. Wayne didn't even complain about it.

The accusation that Wayne has "sold out" is complete and total crap. If your theory was correct why then wasn't Wayne's site a complete Amiga Inc shrine all the time it was hosted on their servers?

Answer: because it stays objective and impartial, which many of the people on AmigaWorld.net find objectionable.

I think it was DaveP who said it was like MorphOS-News and MorphZone, and I guess it is. I don't bother reading them and I won't bother reading this site either.
