I've tried for 2 years. Nobody wants him, not even the animal hippies. I'm upfront about his problem, that's the problem. I refuse to be dishonest, it's not fair to the person who might take him, nor is it fair to the cat. Maybe I'm a sucker?


Well, hopefully he gets out of the cage often for some exercise.  (I care about all animals -- not trying to give you a hard time.)  

Amiga banner looks fine.  We have more important minutia to argue about, don't we? :-)

Cool. You incorporated the checkmark colors! Getting better and better.

Come to think of it, shouldn't the Amiga.org be the color of your Amiga after its been yellowed? (if we want to be purists) ;-)

Also, my cat: (he likes the font (it reminds him of his handy work) )



That's animal cruelty! Better dead than caged.

hahahaha....

... and someone in the other thread even feigned to suggest that we could all agree on what "the community" actually is...

:laughing:

As for my icon, perhaps you need to see the movie "Dogma" to understand the reference to "Buddy Christ".

:laughing:



Well, I think the banner looks much better. And yes it took me awhile but I'm getting used to the new page now and am simply glad to still have Amiga.org period.

With respect, I accept everyone's viewpoints here, but can we please drop the cat discussion (save for private mail) ??

It's irrelevant to whether or not the logo now sucks and it's distracting. :)

In my opinion this logo is *much* better than the one before.
Better sorry than worry.

New A.org banner is ugly now

I like the new logo bannere (the latest one, with the rainbow colours).

The only problem is it's difficult to read the text on the right hand side - the blue is too dark.

I have a True Colour screen, if that helps.

....Also, the site owners avatar should be changed. I think we should be allowed to vote on it. I liked the yoda better. I'm an atheist, not much of a fan of Jesus Christ. Every time I see a post by Wayne i see his Christ avatar pointing and winking at me. It's as if he's saying, "Pick up a bible buddy *wink*, or you're going to hell". This doesn't sit easy with me.

ahh you aint much of an atheist if a figure of Jesus bothers you??? sounds to me that some one has been to Catholic school ...


btw, I'm not crazy about the new font either thought still like the logo and amiga font

I like it a lot (more than the old, at least :))

with the urine yellow color.


WTF? those are the colors of the original Amiga logo!

and...IMHO, to have a cat on this way, better to not have cat at all (sorry Wayne, i can't resist)

the cat is being passive aggressive - he hates all the banners made so far and is, literally, pissed off.................

I liked the old retro chunky font, everthing else is fine. And it reminds me of my own Minimig logo. :)

This is what you miss by skipping school.  :)

I changed the image (almost typed pimpage, which is a whole other freudian ball of wax) which had a yellow tagline to the current "rainbow" one after the original post was made.

JEEZUS! that logo looks like some drunk has done a technicolor yawn (puked in case you're not aware) over it

Hurrah! The mobile theme has no such abomination ... will stick with that me thinks :)

Hmmm.  Not crazy about the military font type logo with rainbow colors, although the tagline phrase itself seems fine.  I though the previous cursive font was better.  I don't know, maybe try the tagline in Topaz?  It's just a thought, that way both sides of the font battle might be a little bit happy.
