I'll bite.

I don't believe MOS is Amiga as such, but AROS is a great project
Is MorphOS a great project, too?
Do you believe AROS is not Amiga as such?

I would love for something mass produced in this category to appear and be an alternative (I don't like Apple...any company who thinks iPhone and iPad that can't access Flash based websites is acceptable is stupid)
So you consider the Apple stigma to prevail even if the original company no longer gets any profit from the sales?

I just wish some people as talented as the VIC-II/SID or Paula/Agnus/Denise designers would just come along and glue together certain bits of certain disposably cheap console and just make something a bit more 'special' out there in price/performance terms than Macs (no games) and OTT PC gaming rigs spending 50% CPU just executing the Win7 kernel for people to go 'wow' over that's all. Call me negative if you want for that but I think that's what all old skool Amiga fans who lived those days want too.
Call me a realist but that's just not going to happen. Commodore designers had it easy in comparison to has to be done today. HW designers do remarkable things today, you can't even remotely compare it with VIC-II/SID or Paula/Agnus/Denise stuff.

Negative comments will be taken in context of the rests of your posts. Idea exchanges and great debates are welcome but Amiga.org will not be a platform for any Amiga hate spreading or fud. If this is your repeated goal you might just find your account no longer working here. If another platform not Amiga, MorphOS or AROS related is your passion then perhaps a forum for that system is a better fit for you? We like to keep the site family friendly and fun. Amiga fans new and old are welcome here and positive communication is recommended. If you only have something bad to say maybe you should keep it to yourself?
I find it disturbing that you find it necessary to post something like this here on amiga.org.

Such posts as this have a chilling effect, regardless of your good intentions.

If the posting guidelines are broken, moderate the comments. Other than that IMHO it is poor judgement to try steer the discussion with posts like this. The posting guidelines should be enough.

I for one am not welcoming our new mind controlling overlords.

If it's chilling perhaps I should have waited to post this on October 31st.

It may have a spine-tingling effect!

btw, can someone fill me in on what the story is on Amiga World?
This is the only Amiga forum I belong to, so I don't really know what people are talking about when they say we don't want to be like Amiga World.

Piru is right.  Censorship defeats the purpose of even having a forum. How can anyone here now expect to speak freely or have a different point of view if you're standing there threatening to ban them if you don't agree with what they have to say?  The posting guidelines are pretty clear so I'm a bit disturbed by your post as well.  At best, it seems threatening.  Not the kind of place where I want to share ideas or debate.

Your reading too much into it. Trolling is different then expressing your ideas. It's only intent is to damage and hurt others.

I don't see it.
The mods said that they will moderate trolls.
How is that a bad thing?
(Unless of course you're a troll.  ;-)

I'm glad the mods stated that, and I do feel it was necessary to let people know.

Then maybe you should take a stab at defining "trolling" and adding that definition to the posting guidelines?!!!!

I've seen several people on here with points of view that weren't popular and they were accused of trolling, even though they hadn't made ANY personal attacks or said anything vulgar or indecent.  You initial post in this thread actually sounds like you're ready to ban anyone who says anything that you deem to be anti-Amiga, anti-MOS, or anti-AROS.

So what will constitute trolling?  Will advocating an x86 processor over PPC be viewed as trolling?  What about people who prefer AROS over OS4?  Will they be accused of trolling?  What about people who prefer emulation instead of using classic hardware?.........After reading your initial post you have more people than me wondering about it.

Oh, so having a different opinion is grounds for being banned?  And Transition has appointed you as his spokesman?

LOL

What did you expect guys? Did you really think the Amiga Boards were going to be left to completely degrade without check? Now that a few more people are realising the Amiga does infact have a continuing future they have begun to understand the REASON for Amiga forum boards exisiting

It is to SERVE the Amiga NOT the individual(s)

It ain't going to get better for you, so perhaps you should transplant yourselves now before you make yourselves look extremely silly

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that trolling is kind of like trying to define obscene porn.. It can't be defined as easily as say a noun or verb.. but as Justice Potter Stewart said... "I know it when I see it."

I think you've severely misunderstood something here.

@Transition

You really don't see what kind of can of worms you opened with these comments?
