Can't help, but don't feel too comfortable with this take over. I know (well, guess to be precise) Trevor has good intentions, but there are issues on this board where interests collide. I mean if some guy asks what system to get and I suggest a Mac mini or some other an el cheapo x86 for AROS this is in direct conflict with Trevor's or Amikit's business. And they own the site now.

IMHO a site like A.org shouldn't be backed up by a company that actually _has_ a particular agenda. It loses independence - even if this loss may be unintended, but nevertheless it does.

"support and expand amiga comunity"

Who is "the amiga comunity"? not aeon, aeon make a "not so amiga" with a poor interest for most amiga users, thats the reality not negativity.

If anyone plan to make money for aeon with this forum just tell it, maybe many users dont like this and want another forums for users.

I can't help but notice the silence from the previous owner. It says a lot.

I have 3 questions:

Why did he sell it? How much did he sell it for? And why the silence?

What's that supposed to mean? We're always friendly here, everyone! What's with the antagonizing remark insinuating that A.O was anything less  before the buyout? :angry:

Excellent news.. I'm really looking forward to see how this site develops in the coming months and years and hopefully will become a welcome home for every shade of our Amiga community.

Can we have the option of having the entire website automatically translated with gizoogle?

Presumably the "amiga community" are users of the classic Amiga systems, plus the next gen Amiga replacements like aOS 4.x, Morphos, AROS, plus the emulators (both soft like UAE and hard like fpga arcade).  I don't know about the Anubis/ARIX folks, but they seem to have returned to hiding so it may not be an issue.

Anubis and Arix are two separate projects and Anubis was still borne.
