Commodore Scotland Under Threat...

So fake it hurts
Ignore it, and only worry if a physical letter actually arrives from a actually existing advocate located in your very own country.

true. the guy is a raving loon.

Actually there have been successful attempts to legally force people to remove wb/ks rom images from peoples sites. Personally I think youre potentially asking for trouble keeping them there, especially in light of you drawing attention to yourself. I dont really care myself, but I'd be surprised if it wasnt just a matter of time before you received genuine emails over it. As for OS4.x, it's the amiga based OS I have least interest in, but to call it crap just 'cos it doesnt run well on an old bppc+aga combo is a bit far fetched.

I have only looked at page one of this thread but when I went to the site in question I saw who was (once again) to blame.

I must say, that i am MOST impressed by the use of Stiff Little Fingers. One of my ALL time favorite bands  :pint:

As I said moto and I don't mean this to sound childish (just can't think of any other way to word it) but Dammy started with the name calling crap and so I treat folks the same way they treat me if that means sinking to their level then so be it but I'm not the type of person who just sits there and lets folk say things about me without responding...

Sorry if you have found all this offensive, but I can't explain it any better than that...

dammy is a moron and you shouldn't lower yourself to his level

that said, I understand your feelings

and i do wish to add that I have bought Amiga Forever and I did so for a variety of reasons (Since I did use WinUAE for years). One is to support a great product. another is to have a variety of "Amigas" under one roof. And this way i get to play with AmigaSys (altho it appears that pngs don't get seen. I guess that set up needs Powericons), AmiKit (although I borked something and that isn't booting right now.) and even run an Amiga 1000 just for kicks.

I didn't see your site before so I can't say i know what was/is going on there. But unless we are talking about dickless "I Love to Waterboard" chaney I see no reason for name calling

I too am fed up with all this CUSA crap, yes I know I've been a big part of it only because I feel so strongly about it, still it's no excuse however for the division and harm that it's causing the Amiga community here.

I have done my part and removed the downloads page from my site and would like to offer my advice to Pyromania that the best thing to do would be delete and ban/lock all posts/threads that have anything to with CUSA from the site altogether...

Why should I advice Pyromania on this, simple he has been asking members on EAB for advice on what folk think he should do with all the problems the CUSA threads are causing here on Amiga.org.

See this link for Pyromanias comments...

I know banning all references to CUSA may seem draconian but even I know as time goes on it's only going to get worse as my feelings on CUSA are so strong that I know I would be unable not to reply to some of the things I find objectionable posted here on Amiga.org with regard to CUSA.

This thread and the others currently running are perfect examples of this and I do take my share of the blame for starting some of them. I would be more than happy never to read another comment here with regard to CUSA and it would stop me from wasting other members here and my own time by responding to them and keeping this whole sorry episode going, for which I apologise to all the members here for spoiling your enjoyment of this great site.

Perhaps Pyromania has had enough feedback now on EAB to make his decision and could let us all know what he has decided. Personally though I reckon for all involved here that it's time to bring an end to this and I admit it myself by my own actions the pathetic and childish at times fighting and squabbling here on Amiga.org.

At the end of the day I honestly think this would only be for benefit of all members here on Amiga.org...

comment from that board:

I kinda like some aspects of Amiga.org, but it is fast becoming moobunny in a suit...

WHAT? not even close! bunny is certifiable. AO actually has interesting discussions.

there are crazy people all over but I never felt that AO let things get too nutty. and we have socks here!
yes indeed!

What'd Lon ever do to you?!

Here's a new image for you!



Should've had this one days ago.

and then there's this:

Authority!

:roflmao:

[cecilia]

basically feel the same - I don't have to marry the guys in SLF, I just want to listen to the music.
I swear it always felt as if Jake was singing directly to me. now THAT is a talent

[cecilia]

wow, I just don't understand the Cloanto hate AT ALL!!!

I have given my hard earned money to purchase Amiga Forever and am a happy costumer. It is a mature product that updates files, comes with historic videos, pictures etc. and various Amiga configurations that I can try all or some. It's not "just" roms.

and I get treated very respectfully. what the heck is wrong with some people??

:roflmao:  ok, that's funny

to get back to my point, I bought AmigaForever to use IFX and then bought Hollywood. I have no interest in games. I did buy Deluxe Paint and Digi Paint many many years ago and would love to use them but at the moment have no way to access my old floppies.

(I did get access to DP files, however).
And there's nothing wrong with emulation. I was originally attracted to it when I realized I could use WinUAE on a laptop making my Amiga files portable. I also make my PC laptop multiboot so I have Windows, Linux AND Amiga emulation on ONE machine.

I consider that very clever.  

But I need Windows ONLY for AfterEffects and the fact that I can also use it for Amiga emulation is a GOOD thing.

being flexible is a sign of Intelligence, by the way  :banana::angel:
