I noticed Amigakit and Trevordick were coloured red today. Trevordick is now also named administrator and webmaster. I'm guessing he took over the site. I haven't been here much lately so someone else or everyone might already know. If he has taken it over i think that would be excellent news for the site. Fingers crossed.
I am just assuming it would be good as he comes across as a decent bloke who has genuine passion for Amiga's. I also think he is neutral as he afaik uses aros and mos and not just AOS4.x.
Lets hope moderators come back.

Agree, I see no reason why ownership of the site and keeping it alive is a problem because of Trevor's other interests. I don't think he is looking to make money out of it otherwise he wouldn't be dabbling in Amiga.
But I guess the socialists here will see it as an affront to free society and free speech. Perhaps a few hackers in the mix will now have a target for their ideals....

Hi Guys
We are working on an official public announcement since yesterday.
In the meantime, as a priority we have been introducing ourselves to the Amiga.org staff and receiving their feedback.
Please bear with us as there is so much to do regarding administration and technical operations in these type of events.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
All things considered, isn't it about time for a statement from Trevor?
before we start worrying about changes, how 'bout we actually, ya know, wait for the changes -- if there actually will be any -- and then worry?
I for one welcome our new insect overlords.Kent Brockman: Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?
Cue conspiracy theories....... now! :)
If you look at the bottom of this site you read this:
Amiga.org and logo Copyright © 2014, A-EON Technology Ltd
What does that mean? A-eon is owner of the site? And if yes what does that mean for the users. Amiga.org was (up to now) 68k orientated and open to discussions (even controversial ones that were stopped on other site(s) )
And:
http://www.amiga.org/forums/member.php?u=2273
http://www.amiga.org/forums/member.php?u=2958
Awesome news, congrats guys!
...I was also going to make a comment about conspiracy theories, but I see someone already beat me to it, lol. ;)
We'll I'll be! Ya mean not every thread that hints at AmigaOS 4.1 news won't immediately be trolled on by the usual suspects anymore :bitch:
Wow ok but that'll take a while to get used to I must admit (waves at old buddy TMHTG) :knuddel:
Will Franko have his ban removed?

The owner has a ship?
Oh and loose all the MAC news, MS FUD and what not.
This is great news :D I like it a lot.

Maybe this buyout explains the I and the G in the Amiga.org banner moving one pixel to the right.

before we start worrying about changes, how 'bout we actually, ya know, wait for the changes -- if there actually will be any -- and then worry? just a thought. anyway, i couldn't be more pleased that matthew and trevor are now the amiga.org stewards.(http://blog.trafficshaper.com/wordpress-content/uploads/2010/12/hailants.jpg)

There is a Chinese saying, "Black cat, white cat; as long as it catches mice."
Ever onward!
A little question, im subscribing to Amiga.org and have been for ages, should I keep the plan or cancel and re-subscribe later on when all is set up?
@thread
the mods are all still here. i'm sure matthew and trevor will say 'hi' to everyone as soon as they can. :)

Moderators come back?
Hopefully the new owners will lift the standard on this forum.
Irrelevant talk about MS Surface Tablets and the 99 cent eBay nagger have really let this forum down in recent times.

Another vote here for our new insect overlords!
I'm also much more likely to donate now that there won't be any more Mac, Surface, Linux and PC threads deliberately designed to get people arguing.
Sure, the threads can be there in the Other OS forum section, but when arguing about Surface Pro machines pushes valid Amiga talk off the front page of the forum, then something's gone wrong somewhere- they should be kept off the front page IMHO.
Plus it looks really bad when you want to show people how alive the Amiga is. and when they go to an Amiga forum, the non-Amiga threads are at the top of the recent threads, and have five times as many posts in as threads which actually have some relevance to the Amiga.
Luckily, I am not a moderator. :)
No, WE are lucky you are not a moderator.
And posts rise to or fall from the front page depending on their popularity.
Hi
Going forward in the future, I am resolved to restore Amiga subjects firmly as the main topics of discussion of this website, so no more off topic subjects in the main forums. Looking at other websites such as English Amiga Board and A1k.org, the emphasis is on good quality discussion about all things Amiga which is very much what this board used to be like 10 years ago. Amiga.org can become a vibrant, interesting community where users from all flavours of Amiga can call their internet home.
Sounds good to me! :)
Amen to this as well :)

Been awhile since I posted!

Can we get rid of the immortality, electric cars and quantum computing sections in the coffee house?

It's a Kiwi website "fush n chops" and "sex" for six all the way.
A little stereo typical. ;-) We don't really talk about like that, most of the time we seem to get mistaken for being british which is odd.
However we have a local joke where Aussies say "sex" instead of "six" :-P
It's a vowel thing. The nuances of the vowel pronunciations (sounding) are learnt at a young age. Neither is right or wrong, just different. Australian's (most) don't actually use the vowel soundings they learn as kids we "lazy tongue" them. "er" becomes "ah" at the end of words and the sounding for "i" changes based on what consonants it's between. eg: Hit(short i) a Six(ie sound).
I think I read somewhere that the NZ pronunciation of vowels was closer to 17th century English than English actually is now. Dunno if it's true.
I certainly find it harder understanding the drawl from Nth QLD and NT than Kiwi. Ayee.(kiwi) or Ayee Mayte (Aussie) :)
I speak bogan with pride!
Clearly not Kesa, otherwise that would have been:
"I speak me bowgun with pryde Mate" (:

They're a bit of over the top Occa, it's not Victorian per se, even though it takes place in Victoria. They could be in WA and still sound the same.
