A-EON Technology Acquires Amiga.org

[klx300r]

What's this old news doing on the main page :p

on a serious note and as was stated by many on the previous thread, this is great news for all Amiga users (classic, NG, emulation etc.) !

Its a valid concern when one camp buys amiga.org that the site will be censored heavily because they have a vested financial interest in doing so. Already shown now that posts counter to their agenda will be edited, deleted or heavily censored.

I would have the same concern if MorphOS developers or AROS developers bought amiga.org. Hope this forum stays worth visiting, but it looks bad already...

Seriously there's no 'vested financial interest' in supporting all Amiga flavours is there? The vested interest is in providing a community portal for all Amiga users without prejudice and without someone blatantly repeating over and over again why their chosen flavour is better than another users.
Enjoy what you like and respect that others do the same. Sounds simple right.

Referring to those misteriuosly post edited posts by mickeymiky or whatever.

huh back already from your 'threat' of leaving? mysterious ?? fully agree with mod's decision below and his reasons were well laid out.  Seeing as reading comprehension isn't your forte I've attached the aforementioned post below and I'll be clear once again that it wouldn't matter whether he were talking about either of the Amiga flavours available today as per post no. 106 (quoting myself here):

                 If this site becomes a cheerleader camp for os4/sam/x1000 I'm out.

You say you don't want a cheerleader site, then perhaps you should start by not acting like a cheerleader yourself.

Well this is great news.

On logging in just now, I see I hadn't logged in for over a month. I had literally given up on this site.

Now I see that some of those who put me off coming here are thinking of leaving. Guess I'll stick around now.

Good luck to you Trevor and congratulations.

been hearing that alot lately..welcome back

@ OlafS3

seriously I know you to be more level headed then that.  Those 'views' are the reason many OS4.x users don't dare even bother with this site in the past.

yet another example, I love using my Amiga 1000 regularly too so now I go to a site and post a question specific to the A1000 and then some person posts his 'views' as follows:

 
                 Amiga 1000 is a big huge monstrous dud. 3k? 512Kb chip ram is a bad joke by now.
                                 
       or,
                 
Amiga 1000 is Worst option forward. Just one guys opinions.
                                 
       or                
                 Everyday use amiga systems now forming... but its aeros and aros and Morphos leading that charge now...

well do you think that Amiga 1000 user would feel welcome here and what would he say to others about such a site??

[klx300r]

Some of the comments would be relevant if this was a discussion about the X1000 or discussing OS4 or discussing PPC future, it wasn't about any of these subject and the comments posted were off completely topic.  So why were these topics posted in this thread?
.

rhetorical question. same old same old here sadly on every single thread where OS4.x is even remotely mentioned:crazy:

[klx300r]

Only here!!

unfortunately true in the past but hopefully that stigma will change with new owners on board
