Enough is enough
« on: August 04, 2012, 02:20:30 AM »
Turning the site off was last drop for me. As I cant find how to delete my user account, can any of the mods do it please.

Thanks for all the fish.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real \'Amigas\', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

Yea, it was pretty silly to turn off the site in some kind of protest against that one thing....

Either way, definitely lost some interest and motivation in A.org.

Not sure how long it was off for but it was off a few hours "in protest" Earlier today.

Pretty lame to take this out on the rest of the community!

I'll admit what I did was wrong. We all mistakes and I do not mind admitting mine. The site was down 60 minutes tops before some sense was talked into me. I am sorry if this upset anyone.

It was to do with this http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=62262
 
I wasn't aware anything had been taken offline till I read about it on another forum. As I already stated in the thread that started this crap storm I don't think airing your dirty laundry in public is the best way to go with something like this. And neither is taking a site down in protest a way of resolving it either. I mean it's of no consequence to the accused party what happens to a website.

If you let blind rage take over then stupid things happen. Personally I don't feel offended in any way over the site going down. But I will say it was a silly move.

Considering how deleting a user ****s up vbulletin I won't be requesting deletion of my account.

This is however enough to make me consider a.org unworthy of my time. Now, if things should change I might consider posting again. Until then, so long, and thanks for all the fish.

Just a quick comment: I read what's posted on this site almost daily. I didn't read the Pyromania/Deron post until I found the site offline with the protest message. I mainly read this site for the really knowlegable posters like Piru and Thomas who confer their wisdom in all things Amiga and beyond. I ignore the "drama" posts for the most part--unless it's about Doomy who is almost like a comic book character because he's so bad, he's entertaining.

 I'm not going to delete my account but I don't really like this.

The day I see Piru not trashing every single AmigaOS4.x thread is the day I quit too :insane::p

Oh for crying out loud, really, Transition? People call you out for dragging Pyromania's personal drama into the community-news section, so you have a site-wide sulk?

I'm not quitting, but this is sure not improving my opinion any. Sheez, first the CUSA coddling for pageviews, now this...

Makes me glad I started hanging out at EAB. Maybe I'll check into AWN while I'm at it...

Didn't upset me at all, and if he's a good friend of yours, your reaction is understandable.

You know, I think the only reason I stop by Amiga.org is to see what the drama queens will do next...  Users, Owners, Admins, Mods, the list just goes on and on.  Shutting the site down and pouting was just classic.  I swear I could imagine the poor slob pouting in his parent's basement with a tub of ice-cream watching Dr. Who reruns.

Truly an endless source of astonishment...
