Well the negative comments are less then encouraging. As a relatively new user to Amiga.org, I am beginning to see why people gripe so much here. Everyone is so negative. I was sad to see Amibench go, but at the same time, we need a site like it. I'm offering to do so, and I know there is work envolved. If anything I think people would think this is positive.
Anyway, I didn't get the impression that Mark would change his mind about Amibench. He had already posted strong notices in the past that indicated his frustration with his site.
All I want to do is try and offer something where there is now a gap. Amibench was a sight I visited often in trying to find stuff for my Amiga, and with it gone I really only know to go to eBay and comp.sys.amiga.marketplace now. I know other sites exist, but they do not have the usage that makes them work.
I've decided against the idea of charging. I think this would limit it's use too much. I am thinking of doing a site that is both classifieds and auctions. Use wichever you want.
As far as getting users, it takes work to get users for *any* site. This is not something I plan to go short on.
Anyone have anything good to say about this?
