@chromozone, Removing mos from the main page is a solution, but its a solution to a problem that we dont have. If the problem was that mos didnt belong on amiga.org then it would be the right solution, but mos does belong here so its not the solution. Dont get me wrong, im not a mos supporter and its certainly not my preffered solution, but im man enought to admit that there is as much right for it to be here as there is aos.
As you said "What is Pissing me off is the Hype is turning up in every thread, where it does not belong !" BINGO!. That is the real problem and the one that needs some attention, although it appears that getting help from the sites administrators on this topic seems all the more futile, especially lately, i have not tried to involve myself until now but it appears to me that they are not as impartial as they are trying to convince us recently. But thats another topic i will address in a bit... Anyway, the real problem with a.org lately (and yes there is a problem one wayne) is that if a thread is started that is focused on aos or mos, it os soon poluted by the opposing zealots spewing insults and , i dont mean to say that all mos users are zealots, i pray they are not, but some are, and there are just as many amiga zealots i would imagine. This is the real problem, I keep on saying it, and saying it, and saying it, the bitch fights going on have drawn out any dignity we once had as the pinnacle of electronic communites and left us with a high proportion of shallow, disrespecting users with no compassion and less tact than school yard bullies.
Wayne, or whoever would like to step up to the plate and take responsibility for a.org, there is a problem, for your own sake, i suggest you accept and address it with a little more urgency than you are. Plain and simply, i honestly believe that this site needs the aos community, your not telling them they cant be here, but your certainly showing little effort to make them feel welcome. Perhaps a.org may survive without them, but it surely wont thrive again. I will give an example of what will happen in future should the problem not be addresses...
aos users leave a.org
mos users then are the sole users of a.org
mr newbie looking for aos news comes to a.org from search engine
mr newbie posts thread requesting on aos
mr newbie is flamed to hell and leaves with deep animosity for both aos and mos
In the example there are NO winners, mos doesnt get a new user, aos doesnt get a new user, both are now seem in a bad light, but worst of all, some poor guy or gal had been deprived from what could have been a new computing platform that could have been bliss for there particular needs.
You may be pissed with a-inc now, but chances are hyperion will shine thru, and if you cut yourself off from that community at this early stage then your only doing damage to yourself and all communities. Yes you can of course have mos here, aros here, amithlon here, emulation here etc etc, but without aos??? i dont think even you would deny that it would be detrimental.
Solution? well thats your problem! all we can do is help with suggestions (suggestions being the operative word people, *not* demands) my suggestion. I guess a small step forward would be to create forums for each solution, eg a aos area and a mos area, where any posts that deter, insult, degrade or troll against the os in focus would be banned. At least both communities could feel a little safety where they can post what they like without having to worry about the other camp lighting fires. I guess it would go for news items comments as well. Having a news item about os features turning into an insult fest really isnt on... Obviously some more thought needs to be put into the right soilution, so i suggest you get started, because im tired. Tired of the constant strain i feel by visiting here.
A message to the mos people that dont want aos people here, I am looking forward aos and support hyperion fully, i will remain at a.org for eternity, no amount of insults will remove me as im far stronger willed and less impressionable than that, and im not alone, so for your own sake, lets start getting along
A message to the aos people that dont want mos people here, read the above paragraph, switch the os's, you get the drift...
