The community is too small to have fragments keep fighting each other.

Plus we are all (hopefully) over all that silly Red v Blue nonsense. It didn't get anyone anywhere.

If this community is to survive we have to put all that behind us.

Great initiative Wayne and I hope it is one that is successful. :)

Everything rolls arround Amiga. No matter if we speak about MorphOS, AmigaOS, AROS etc. Everyone has preferences -for example I prefer MorphOS- but there is no reason for any division.

It all sounds Amiga to me :)

MorphOS forum - that's what I lacked in the previous version.

BTW as said here, MorphOS is closer to the classics than AmigaOS4.
Was: Mac Mini PPC running MorphOS 2.4
Now: Amiga Forever 2010 with AmiKit and AmigaSYS
Not used: Icaros Desktop 1.2 (reason: no wifi)
Planned soon: an OS4 system
Shortly then: a MOS notebook (wifi is a must-have)

Can we dispense with any off-hand remarks like this? This is totally-off topic, it is subjective and potentially incendiary. Attitudes like this are precisely what caused the bad atmosphere and split in the first place. IMO, as neither run on any m68K CPU, they equally distant from the classic line.

Thank you very much.  I was about to say the same thing when you hit submit first.

Yes with a "but" -

My concerns are the remarks like DiskDoctor - look, pal, nothing good can come of that and you know it.

So it's clear that there's a certain segment who can't keep their yaps shut, even when talking about talking about adding a Forum.  It just so happens that this time, it was a morph-os cheerleader.

Other point: Bill Buck.  Man, if you even say "pegasus" or "morphos" that guy shows up like Beetlejuice and spams with links to "their" 'blog.

As long as the mods can quash those two things, I'm happy with the addition of a morph os forum.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Ok.  Let's stop.  Calling someone a cheerleader is also a big part of the problem.  Can't you see that?  Whether intended innocently or not, it is still a wedge between the community.

I'm amazed you don't already know / remember this, but Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco are persona non-gratis on this site, unless they are willing to write the checks owed to those who put our lives on hold then got royally screwed by them in 2002/2003, myself included.

Again, old crap, doesn't need to be brought up, so let's drop it, but that's where I stand on your concerns.  I am much more concerned about the community (all of us) than I am a couple of dishonorables.

Back on topic, I think forums catering for the various strains of what I think I'll call "the Amiga family of operating systems" (or TAFOOS) is ideal.
