Hi. I am a new member to this site but have been an Amigan for a long time. :) I have a suggestion about the challenge questions that must be answered before a person can beome registered here. The questions I was asked, all require knowledge of obscure Amiga history. It seems to me that this makes it very difficult for a person new to the Amigaverse to register (Sorry Fleecy, but your name is not exactly a household word). Does this not keep the kind of people the Amiga community is trying to recruit, from activly participating?
Also, I live on the east coast of the US. The timezone here is often written as "GMT -5". At the top of this page it gives the site timezone as "GMT -6". Yet, the time shown is 2 hours earlier than here. Shouldn't that be "GMT -7" instead?
All in all, this is a truely awsome and bodaciouly excellent site. Really- the only one I go to for Amiga news.
Just my 2 pfennings worth.
Thank you for all that you do for the community.

Hi,
Welcome to the community of loonies.
HMMMM!!!
Challenge question!!!
Heck this must really be turning into a Mac site, only a Mac head would think of something like that.
Anyhow if you have any hard questions about the Amiga,
A man wearing a hardhat has the answers, but you have to remember not only does he have a hard hat, but he also has a hard head, but he really is a real nice person.
Well enjoy the looney bin. Just remember a lot of these guys are so old that the bit bucket they use has some holes in it.

I always found the Amiga history question/verification extremely stupid and a waste of time.
Use a decent CAPTCHA system like everyone else.
