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:-

US2.Amigaworld.Net
NO.Amigaworld.Net

Updates will continue to be posted here as and when we know.

Nothing wrong with pirating Amiga software. if seems to be acceptable for Amiga users to steal software to better the Amiga platform, but it is wrong to steal Amiga software?

To many hypocrites, plua the way Amidog promotes psx piracy is just hilarious and makes you anti piracy people look more stupid than you normally are.

Well, to me it seemed that Buck was just a notch worse. I actually suspect he was intentionally stirring the pot, increasing the temperature in the Amiga community in order to break off as large a portion of it as possible.

But that's just how it seemed to me, and your mileage may vary. And I may even be wrong. I'll agree the red side has its part of the blame, and I hope we can leave it at that. I think we are all better off just trying to build whichever platform we chose. The split has happened, and the only thing which can be gained from further flamewars is to drive users away from both.

Hey this is a good day! Only one reply to my post, and it's civil! :-)

This is hardly helping any cause.

Morphzone is a new site, dedicated to MorphOS. I've been there, seems to be mostly sane discussions about MorphOS and Pegasos related news items. Appears to be quite calm and intelligent people that are there. I have no problem with it although I don't post there seeing as I have neither a Pegasos nor do I run MorphOS. I know davep has posted there and has been greated with professional courtesy and davep is an amigaworld.net regular.

AmigaWorld is on the other side for the AmigaOne and AmigaOS 4, which incidently also runs on classics with PPC accelerator cards. I see no problem with the existance of either one.

Heh, well I'll give you Senex and Palpatine, dunno about the others, but Miky060 is a user. The idea of him working for Genesi is quite funny. :) BBRV himself is not a moderator and to my knowledge never has been. I think you should check your facts before telling me to check mine. I mean, it only took three clicks, not exactly taxing, is it.

I've never heard of any comment being moderated from MZ, ever. Even polyhead's abusive rants were never removed from MZ. Not that I think it can't happen, but it hasn't happened yet, so until it does AWN is simply not comparable to MZ. MZ is just not a site where camp politics ever appear in subjects. Why they DO in AWN so much I'd blame more on the presence of Bouma, Akey, and its obvious direct affiliation with the business presences inside it, and perhaps the fact that users haven't actually had to product to play/whine/praise with until recently. MZ is a MorphOS site, it's not a Genesi site, or a bPlan site, or an anti-Red site. You go there to ask questions about MorphOS, and that's it. Perhaps why its immune from the constant flamewars seen on other forums.

"Well, to me it seemed that Buck was just a notch worse."

Well if you hadn't had colored glasses (;-) ) you might see things differently. Face it, you have taken a side (like many of us), and you look at the rest of the world from that perspective (like many of us). So of course you would not see how Fleecy, McBill, Ben Herman, Alan etc acted. So its no wonder that you may think he "was a notch worse". That works both ways!

Personally, I saw BBRV trying to start constructive discussions and engage the community, only to be totally overrun with (for no obvious reason) outraged people throwing shit at them the whole time, and when they after a while got fed up with it and answered in the same tone, then that is the only thing people like you seems to remember (yourself is a proof on that).

For some odd reason people don't seem to go to Morphzone to start flamewars, this however regularly happens over at amigaworld.net. Perhaps people have more respect for Morphzone. Perhaps amigaworld.net has angered more people. Who knows. Until you start having serious problems with people flaming from the "other side" at regular intervals, you can't honestly expect to be able to compare policies.

Btw, we are both biased obviously, but I at least respect your choice, you seem to think my choice is something that is being controlled by the "evil they" as well the site. You're of course entitled to that opinion, but I do think it's a wee bit childish.

In reply to Comment 152 (Kay):
Kay, you're an intelligent guy, and stand exactly where I once stood, so I'm going to try to explain this to you in detail.

I was once in your position. I wanted AmigaONE and OS4, and it appeared to me that the constant criticism from blue trolls was very angering and very distracting. I spent long days attacking them and Bill Buck in particular. However, in about mid 2002, I really started to lose faith with Amiga Inc. No shirts, no hope, simply lies and deceit in return. When I tried to ask people about it, I got attacks and abuse from MY OWN SIDE. The A1 wasn't as unique or as cheap as promised, and OS4 was miles away. With money burning a hole in my pocket, I made a snap decision: I bought a Pegasos, in mid 2003. I though that I would be selling it quickly, because I'd hate MOS, right? Boy, was I wrong.

Using MorphOS and seeing that it wasn't the "crap, bad copy of AmigaOS" most people on my own side were saying, I started to question other things too. Suddenly the blue trolls weren't spreading lies any more - what they had been saying for years was right, if in a rather exaggerated and sometimes offensive way. I found out too about the dubious history of the main people now behind OS4, and why OS4 came into being. I did this on my own, while researching stuff to hit back at blue trolls with.

Now I can see things for what they are. A blue tinge is there, no doubt, but I have full archives of the lies and broken promises made by Amiga Inc, Eyetech, and Hyperion. I've tried to find background on all these constant references where BBRV made personal attacks to use against him, and came up with nothing. Instead I found long tracts of nonsensical FUD from Häuser and Hermans on USENET and ANN archives, even more nonsensical in hindsight. Both should be thoroughly ashamed of what they have said and done over the years to damage the Amiga. I know now who the bad guys here were all along, and why the blue trolls were so angry and so intent on general shitstirring in the community. They didn't start it, they didn't keep it going. Some things can really be so unfair that it takes a strong person not to troll against them.

What is AWN? AWN is a site where, instead of answering back the blue trolls, they've simply been excluded. This means that lies and exaggerations are never questioned any more, and users live in the false security of being able to repeat disinformation (although mostly innocently), because it gives them comfort and a sense of belonging. However, it's delusion, and serves only the people I've come to despise whom I once supported. And worst still, it serves as a point to suck money out of people using their faith to blind them. I won't ever rest with my 'vendetta' as long as it remains this way. My memories of how good the Amiga used to be are too sharp.

Now, I realise some lame fuckwit is going to copy and paste this whole post and reverse the names again, but it was worth it. Kay, start to think and make your own choices. Open your eyes to what happens on AmigaWorld.net.

I see you are a master of the great zhen philosophy of "Someone else does it, so it must be okay". It's not okay to pirate software. I don't condone it for any platform. If you are in anyway interested in an amiga market, you won't pirate amiga software.

Speaking of interesting in the amiga market, there is a number of people, that haven't actually owned or operated an amiga in many years, don't own an amigaone, don't own a pegasos but have no problem pirating Amiga Forever or Amithlon. They generally don't care what happens to the amiga or its alternitives yet they still frequent amiga website forums. Why? To nag and complain and take part in discussions that don't even concern them and to poke fun at the people that have decided to invest more money on their hobbies. Go away, you're wasting bandwidth.

It seems you are far too involved in the whole political agenda that's been going on, and the incredible amount of mud slinging. None of these issues have a whole lot to do with using and enjoying a computer. If people want to run and enjoy AmigaOS 4 on an AmigaOne, why on earth shouldn't they be allowed to do that? Same goes for MorphOS on a Pegasos.

Put the politics behind you, choose whatever you like, run it, have fun, make software.

I also think that those sparks that from time to time really comes up at morphzone doesn't lite a real flame as often as the sparks on amigaworld.net. I looks like the atmosphere at amigaworld.net is full of flamable fumes that easily ignites, from the slightest sparc, but the tolerance level (for that is what I am speaking about) for other peoples opinions (and also other peoples ways and manners) are much higher on morphzone.

I too went with the Exodus to AW.net.

I found the climate on the other sites to be getting very hostile, full of blind hate - When people started to leave all the crap went up 10 fold. Most of my friends headed to AW so I did as well.

According to some I have been labelled a Red Troll Terrorist etc I criticise the Amiga market all the time. I criticise Amiga inc, I criticised the price of the uA1 just the other day. Noone is modded for critisism.

What people are moderated for are attacks. For example when some Blue Troll (who I will not name) came on and launched his bille I got stuck in, went for the juggular - but it was me that got modded!

On AW Morphos simply isnt discussed because noone really cares about it. Nor do people go over to Morphzone etc and scour it for flame fuel. AW net is there because of the hidden adgenda by some.

I think its a case of people having adgendas and ignoring the truth. Crying wolf.

But as you can see from this discussion there is reason why that is so.

Hating a website is a complete waste of time, spend it on something more usefull. Claiming that an entire group of people are just mindcontrolled puppies of some evil empire is childish.

No Bobson, it ain't just attacks that get moderated. Threads where the topic is becoming a little too near the jugular are often locked and moved off front page. Even mild speculation can be totally and bluntly removed. It seems that any criticism that isn't dressed up in cotton wool where the poster has to walk on eggshells. As someone already said, AWN's tolerance level is not high. What you often call trolling other sites allow as a matter of norm as discussion.

There is not just one evil side (there isnt even any evil), but the top people of both sides has similar records of pissing the other side off. BBRV are no devils, and in a similar way, Ben Hermans, Alan Redhouse and Fleeced & Billed are certainly no angels. They are all the same kind, people that has invested a lot of time and money in what they believe is something good, and they want return from that. Little sparks here and there led to flames between them over time, and they are only trying to protect their investments from the fire. They are all the same, no one is better or worse than the other. You should not let the shit get to you, and you should not let you be fleeced by their fluff either.

ANN often edits news posts to slightly change the wording from something that's bound to upset lots of people to something that seems more like stating an opinon, I've certainly seen that happen. They've also removed new postings which were bound to generate massive flods of flames.

And this is on ANN, which is quite openhearted and openminded when it comes to discussions on just about anything amiga related. You might not agree with the moderation but it doesn't make amigaworld.net into the all singing and dancing puppet controlled evil empire that you like to think it is.

Well, it has this dark history! It also has a lot of fire estinguishers, that are being used so often by over-protecting firemen that a few people gets soaking wet by accident from time to time. Soaked people may get pissed, and loud about it too.

LOL, here too? :-)

Have you no idea how childish it sounds to nag about the edited title on all Amiga forums?

OK the mod thought the title to be disrespectful and decided to change this. Maybe he was wrong or right, but take it to the webmaster or administrators instead of nagging at other websites.
