I think it could be the case that the Amiga scene is passing into a new phase. After all the years fighting about the "future", it seems that the focus is going back to enjoying the Amigas of the past. Most conversations on here involve the classics.
I've come back into the scene after a 6 month break. I was pretty much sick and tired of all the pointless arguing. I'm back because I re-discovered why I was involved in the first place, The Commodore-Amiga range of personal computers.
