amiga.org used to be just this forum. When AmigaKit bought it, the site was down for months, snd when it came back, the forum was moved to different url and the site was become more of a portal for various amigakit stuff. The whole process shun off quite a few people.

You saying you would rather that cluttered mess that was a front page? or are you talking about the index page of amiga.org.

The forum is the only thing that is of any interest here, the index page is barely relevant for anyone. If I was AmigaKit I would have made sure to keep amiga.org away from customer support for AmigaKit products (ie the opposite of what AmigaKit has done), makes it so much easier to pass on the day you want to sell.

To be fair, I have not noticed too much of Amigakit wares on here.

Not the forum, the so called "index" - http://www.amiga.org - it's all "AEON-Kit" ... stuff.

As some or all may know. I was on EAB for over a year. It has a lot of talented people who provide some good stuff for us Amiga Addicts 🤣👍🏻 Unfortunately it appears that forum is now being controlled by a different Amiga reseller. Not trying to start a flaming war. Just making the point that forum is getting a bit toxic 😞🙄😳🤔 To a point if your name doesn’t fit right you just get perma banned it seems. 😤

It's been "toxic" here as well previously, that's another reason why traffic is low.

The problem in general is that "the Amiga community" isn't really _a_ community, it really is many partly overlapping communities or cliques, each with their own quasi-definitions of "what is amiga", "who is amiga" etc. Often these these cliques end up with some sort of "messiah" with a group of rabid followers and sycophants. These "messiahs" tend to go toe-to-toe with one another, and typically they're not open for any sort of critique or different views than their own (though their own view may flip from one day to the other).

The whole "legal situation" and sometimes mind boggling amateurish conduct and behaviour of many so called "professional" parties just fuels the whole thing.
