Yes. As far as Amigans are concerned it is the same as what has happened in the last 15 years. It's called limbo   :eek:

PS where you been? :confused:

You're a troll and a liability around here, sorry.  There's enough **** flinging around here without an Admin "bumping" BS threads that were entirely made up of flames.  Especially since this particular thread Commodore USA respectfully declined.

I'm not passionate, I realize this is just a hobby and A.org is just a place for us old farts to BS with each other.

For years now the C-USA issue has been the "hot button" issue that pisses everyone off in some capacity, either for or against on Amiga forums.  No one needs to pour petrol on the fire in a thread like this.  Not me, not you, and sure as hell not an Admin/Webmaster.

We don't need some admin clownshow bumping garbage like this - and by garbage I do not mean C-USA in the least:  the fact they declined the ART Q&A sessions, fair enough - and respect where it is due to Leo and Commodore USA.  I'm annoyed because it makes ART and A.org look like a factory of buffoons when staff are bigger trolls than the users.

I find anyone doing their "job" in a half assed or troll fashion a waste of time and they shouldn't hold the job they have.

Sorry if that hits home.  It's unprofessional and outright stupid, and a recurring theme with Transition.  Fire fueling, scab picking.  You want friendly advice on how to improve the place, take my last 2 posts as such.  Want to boot my ass out of here for good, knock yourself out.  If you think I'm alone in these opinions, you are more insane than I am.

I don't know who owns the site or who I could contact above "Admin" or "Webmaster" status, so forgive me for doing public posts on this one.  If I knew who the "Boss" was, I would have simply contacted him.

3 things i have to say.

1 - I'm drunk   :drink:

2 - I must of missed the CUSA connection. I thought this thread was about the owner of Amiga.org making an appearance on ART  :confused:. So how does CUSA fit into this?  :confused:

3 - You say CUSA snubbed the ART. Who cares? Screw them is all i can say.

4 - All this over a bump smiley?

OK that was 4 things. Whatever.

I am in agreement with Duce about professionalism. Of immediate concern is whilst writing this I noticed that the displayed emoticons seem to be primarily focused on flaming, infighting and abusive behavior. Not a good advertisement for the site. So hear are the questions.

Questions for the owner:
Do you believe trolling and flaming may affect the long term future of Amiga.org?

Do you have any short/long term plans to protect the future of Amiga.org from trolling and flaming?

Wait a second......

Are you calling me a troll? And if so, why? I didn't bump this thread. I'm not even a staff member here. I was asked if I wanted to be a moderator and I declined.

So if you ARE calling me a troll.. back it up please.

And yes.. that was my "mildly annoyed voice."

Wasn't calling you a troll in the least, Rich.  My apologies if it can off that way.

I have a question. Why has there been an increase in users on Amiga.org? Until recently there was rarely more than 160 users online but lately i rarely see the amount of users less than 250. Compare this to AW.net which seems to be the same as it always has been (about 60-80). Have i missed something?

PS  :bump:    :roflmao:

Well, as someone who just started visiting this site again recently, I can tell you what brought me back. It was my recent purchase of a C64x from CUSA.  My first computer was a C64c, and I was a Commodore fan from then on.  Anyway, using that reto-style machine got me feeling all nostalgic for my old Amigas, and I dug one out for the first time in years.  Then, I decided it was time to poke my head back into whatever Amiga scene was still around, and so here I am. :)
