The really really long outage where amiga.kit couldn't be arsed to sort it out. killed the site.  People started using other sites like EAB and never really came back. 

The front page only showing a few posts killed it for me as well as it not going directly to the forum as it has since the last millennium.

And the focus changed when it became part of a commercial entity.

Basically , and it almost seemed  intentional , the new owners didn't give a fuck about this site and its legacy and have done nothing to bolster it.  It's like they wanted it to die.

I joined Amiga.org in 2002.  I visit Amiga.org daily as a guest, and sometimes login to post.  That long outage mentioned by others definately took its toll.

Cheers,

There were cookies and/or https problems for several years which could stop you from being logged in to the site. To be fair that's solved since a few years.

Test test test.  Holy cr@p.  This is the first time I've been able to log in in like... two years?

Still alive.  Still busy working.  Got a Rivian (EV truck) and spend a lot of time annoying people in those forums.  Do miss my Amiga's, and the countless hours I used to spend on this forum.  Just re-packaged some of my Amiga stuff recently.  Sadly not to take it out to play with, but to preserve it longer.  Maybe someday I'll have time again.  My company got me one of those mini C64's for my birthday.  That was in... April?  It's still in its box.  No time, but many fond memories.  Hope anyone who sees this message is well, and happy holidays!

Similar for me - during the long outage I got out of the habit of checking Amiga.org multiple times a day. Should try to get back into it...

Yep, that’s what I do. This site auto refreshes at the home page of any new post/threads 👍🏻

Have seen you a lot over on EAB (Before being perma banned for no reason 🤔🙄). Come over and say hi or whatever. Let’s try and get this forum more active 👍🏻 Spread the word!

Well, in my case I can say that I'm back after years of absence: I didn't remember the password, but my email provider stopped giving service and I stopped having access to the account I used to access here, so, when I wanted to recover the password, I couldn't, and I have recovered it TODAY, thanks to a fellow member, @tolkien, who was able to warn the admins.

So one more who, hopefully, will do more than just read.

Saluditos,

Ferrán.
