I agree that many of the images that you see in the gallery are not worth keeping. Maybe when a member becomes inactive for more then 6months the images they uploaded are removed?
Honestly, topic treads that have nothing to do with the Amiga or at least a computer in general should not be posted here or just have a "general off topic tread" and leave it at that.
If my pictures get deleted, I won't upload them again. People forget what effort was taken in getting them in the first place. They are a historic value to the community.
Unless you get new hardware to talk about, this forum is not going to grow.
I think the Amiga being emulated on ARM like the Raspberry Pi could be a good thing to grow your forums. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of interest in the users getting involved in development unless someone does it for them so therefore there is a lack of cooperating with budding developers. Lack of cooperation means there will be nothing new.
It is a new millennium. Commodore is not coming back. Budding developers cannot get the old chips in quantity and the old processes of making some of that stuff may not exist anymore. I am interested in developing with new hardware from off the shelf products and there isn't an interest.
The Commodore users I knew wrote their own programs and were more of a D.I.Y. community and I don't see it here. I went out and bought several ARM development boards, a book on ARM architecture, Jtag cables for high voltage programming, a book on ARM assembly language. I'm ready to buy an ST Link for programming ARM. I've been researching and surveying different available chips for a couple of years and it really is a hard task because it took companies to make a computer but there is no interest here.
You should really question how long the old Amigas will function before breaking down. 10 years? My Amiga stopped working after 10 years. What will you have to talk about then? If you exist at all, it will be a smaller group or you will be into something different entirely like belonging to a Raspberry Pi forum.
