(RFD) Olive branches and reuniting the community? (MorphOS / Amiga)

[Karlos]

To be perfectly honest, I didn't realise this site didn't cater for MorphOS.

I'm happy for MOS to have forums etc. here.

I always thought of Morphzone serving the morphos community, Amigaworld.net serving the OS4.x community, and Amiga.org serving everyone anyway.

Agreed. TBH, I always thought the Red vBlue stuff was completely pointless and silly anyway.

I would hope that pretty much everybody that took a side originally is happy enough with it by now not to feel the need to bash the opposite side.

BTW as said here, MorphOS is closer to the classics than AmigaOS4.

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.

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.

[Karlos]

See, you're getting it

Where TAFOOS mah new forum, eh?

[Karlos]

TAFOOS aren't exactly setting the real world on fire. Why attempt to evangelize one over any of the others?

I'll happily run any of them.

IIRC amiga.org was always quite tolerant and here those fights just didn't happen. Thus, no need to explicitly include MorphOS and AROS here. In my book they were always part of the story here...

Having sub forums where issues specific to each OS is generally preferable (for ease of navigation and categorisation), I'd say. It isn't essential but it would help avoid confusion.
