Why he left, what happened?


From what I remember Piru didn't trust the new owner and felt the owner was not honest about his motive for wanting to own amiga.org. He then asked to remove everything from him from this site.

Jens left for the same reason too.

I doubt anybody, except Harry himself, has any real idea why he left.

Ted? I have no problem with him.
And he doesn't whine like Wayne was prone to.

Piru, if you're interested in contacting him, maintains a homepage.

https://www.sintonen.fi/

It also has a link to his software repository.

And I've had him respond to inquiries on MorphZone.

Because I'm a stubborn bastard, that's why. I hung around on the Agony Booth forums until the bitter end even while the site owner was deliberately doing everything he could to drive people off the forums short of straight-up nuking them because he wanted to turn the site into a crap TGWTG knockoff and felt that time people spent having discussions on the forums was time they weren't spending watching the shıtty videos that were replacing the increasingly-lazy recaps. As much as I take issue with a lot of the crap that's happened here in the last couple years, we're nowhere near that point yet.

I think you guys who are criticising the mods should give them a break. Remember that they are volunteers who don't get paid to babysit idiots who can't behave themselves. If anyone here isn't happy with how they do it volunteer and do it yourself.

The only problem i have with the mods is that they volunteer but never bother logging in or removing spam on the home page. But not really a big deal.

I'm also quick to point out that Piru quit this site because the previous owner shut this site down in protest about something. The new owner hasn't done anything like this at all. It's not fair to blame him for something he didn't do.

While we are talking missing people where is Karlos?

This could be an opportunity to talk about him behind his back...  :razz:

I guess the moral of the story is "don't get baby pissed on a forum"

I remember Piru as a very sharp guy but I also remember him as using every excuse he could, to belittle AOS4.x which is IMHO not really that constructive for the community.

But rage quitting because of a few hours of down town, well I hardly beleive that it was the main reason, maybe just the last straw.

As far as Piru is concerned...I agree with what he posts.  Very smart individual.  Tells it like it is.
