I'm not very active these days, but the colorful characters are what used to keep me coming to the forums. I wasn't around for whatever got Franko banned from Amiga.org, but I can tell you that Amigaworld.net has been far less interesting since Helgis was banned. (I'm speaking purely of the popcorn factor. Helgis appeared to be, by and large, an a**hole.) Every forum needs at least one willing punching bag.
