It has been some time coming ;-)  this latest episode was just the last straw :-)

I have actually been signed up as a member here for a couple of years,  just never really took part here,  although did lurk from time to time.

Hey guess what,  my goodbye speech over at aw as been locked,  now why am I not surprised  :roll:

Anyway,  it looks like we are on for completing the AmiGBG DVD over this Xmas holiday,  some other work that was planned has fallen though, which leaves a window of opportunity to get this project finished.
The race is on,  gotta get the DVD done before the release of OS4  :-D   (now some would say that gives me plenty of time,  but that's not the positive attitude of us Amigans now is it  :-) )

I always figured (from seeing you at the BB shows) that you had a good relationship with the AW staff.

Yes I did,  and I hope that I still will do,  I just don't like the way some of them have treated people lately,  they are not all bad ;-)  

Don't forget that I am not one of the people who have received a suspension,  I came out in protest on behalf of the way I was others being treated. - Even if I did not always agree 100% what was said,   I think the following phrase sums up the way I feel:

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

I suddenly realised what a biased place I was in and did not want to be a part of it any more.

@amigaoneproductions

You mean you weren't already a member? Wow, I guess it's because I am so used to seeing you on the "usual" site.

Anyhoo, welcome aboard then :-D

:lol:, yeah. Where else can you notch up an 8K post count and not feel ashamed?

It's like Royston Vasey. You'll never leave!

Funnily enough I have been a member here for quite a long time:

But up until a day ago,  my post count was a lowly 5 ;-)  As you can probably tell  most of my posting was done elsewhere ;-)

I thought I'd treat this as my re-introduction into the site as I intended to become a lot more active now :-)

Ah, cool.

Welcome amigaoneproductions! I'm still a reader/learner but have been a MS user/developer since win ver1.  :crazy:
I was a big C64 freak back in the day too. Always wanted to get into Amiga so here I am.  ;-)  Hope to learn a lot from you as well as all Amiganauts here.   :-D

Just looked for that but your account seems to be gone all together. They didn't waste much time by the looks of it; did you ask them to remove it?

Yes,  I did ask them to remove my account.  It took about 15 mins for my account to die,  nice of the mods to try to persuade me to stay wasn't it  :-D

My last post is still there at the moment,  just locked from futher posts

Wow, the anguish. How you put up with all the desperate pleas and emotional blackmail levelled upon you to persuade to stay is beyond me :lol:

Welcome aop, I'm sure you'll feel right home around here.

BTW, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this gem from a awnet mod:

And a word of warning for anyone posting additional startup threads to complain about the moderation will get a posting suspension. Follow the ajudication process if you feel slighted, but it absolutely is not up for discussion in the forums. Period.

Kind of speaks for itself.

@Piru
It sure does :-o

@AoP
Wellcome :-)

I'm another AW.net leaver. Got fed up with the atitude on the site. Funny enough i felt the same thing over here 1-2 years ago. Before OS4 pre 1 was released. Then everyone was bashing OS4 like crazy so i moved to AW.net. But with the time around the relase of OS4 pre 2 things went out of hand at AW.net. And it was all downhill from there so i moved back home ;-)

Now this site is one of the most well balanced Amiga site around. All amigans in one big happy family. Aros/Mos/Classic/Os4/UAE.

Been reading this site since it started but didn't register an account until much later. Anyway i'll stop ranting there. Wellcome once again.

uncharted! good gubbins, you're still around?? is married life too hectic for you to continue our little reaction IRC client?

@AmigaOneProductions

I moved to aw.net because I was excited about AmigaOne stuff, and it seemed like that sort of stuff was getting bashed (badly) or ignored in other places. I've got my AmigaOneXE now running OS4, and I love it. I've really enjoyed my time at aw.net over the last few years. But OS4 only discussion is starting to bore me. I'm starting to read amiga.org a little more, and I've discovered how much I miss the classics discussion. Not only that, but theres a greater variety of people posting here, its not always the same people like on aw.net. Not to mention the classic hardware knowledge here seems unbeatable.

I was under the impression that all amiga-like systems couldnt co exist on one portal, but you guys are showing me otherwise.

Now I gotta reupload my scary avatar that was removed a while ago for some reason.

Btw.. it would be nice if amiga.org could go to greater lengths to make it more usable with amiga browsers. Thats one thing thats great about aw.net, they go to extremes to make it compatible with our antiquated browsers. But I do realise a large portion of users (maybe even the majority) are browsing on PC's now.

I'm not giving up aw.net btw, just browsing both now. ann.lu still leaves a sour taste in the mouth. They just want to argue there. :/ (generalisation.. sorry)
