Kanye West mentions Amiga!

[save2600]

What the hell is up with beating on SysAdmins lately? Could care less about Kanye West, but did find the fact he mentioned the Amiga interesting. The tidbit is still relative to an Amiga site after all.  

Anyway, wouldn't it be interesting *if* the demographic that follows celebrities like him, embraced the Amiga platform? Pretty sure they'd be injecting more "soul" into it than most of us ever could.  :laughing:

because is another useless thread...

So you are suggesting we turn Amiga.org into a celebrity gossip site? Now i shoot you! :uzi:

You're suggesting it isn't already?

Piru, Wayne, Jens, Redrumloa, Franko, Bill, Petro, etc.?   :lol:

As for my classic... I expect hardware expansions for vintage computers to be expensive. It's just part of the territory.

Indeed. Welcome to hobby land

I don't normally get involved in these sort of threads but I too am getting pretty fed up of reading them. They're boring and they're annoying a lot of people. I just wish we had more real Amiga threads - seems to be a shortage of those unfortunately.

Let's face it Kayne is Loco in the Cabasa. (Crazy in the head) George Bush doesn't like Amiga Users.:laughing::roflmao:

This interview has been getting some attention in the media.

I have not listened to his music in the past but will listen to some of his top songs when I have some time.

Sorry to bore you but you don't have to read the thread. The Amiga was mentioned in this celebrity interview so it is Amiga news. You are welcome to search the web for Amiga news and submit it to Amiga.org. More Amiga news needs to be reported when it happens. I don't have the time to find it all myself but do try my best.

The mention of Amiga was with a whole bunch of other iconic products (at least it is viewed as iconic here) and he was associating his passion to the passion of people who love those products.

It's the passion about opening the box though, so it's quite shallow really.

Depends on which Amiga.  If it's an A4000T then the box wouldn't be that shallow.

I have no desire to listen to the talentless turd... What did he say?

 We agree on this one....

seems he did a good job to advertise himself, and you also fell for it;) not that its a bad thing he mentioned amiga, this is called product placement, and is being paid for, perhaps its one of still ongoing barrys deals, he decided to honor whatever happened to the counterpart.

Let's not mince around the truth.  You're whoring for click-throughs.  While the original post was vaguely Amiga related, was this?

Not in the least.  Tripe.  If I printed it out to read it on the crapper, I'd feel dirty if I wiped my bottom with it.  You should be ashamed for dragging that kind of crap here, and that goes a lot deeper than "don't read what you aren't interested in".  It's been a long term problem here, from electric car discussions to 1000 different Windoze and Google spam threads just to rustle feathers.

Good people have already left over stuff like this.  It's actually a running joke that there's more real Amiga talk on Moobunny than on A.org.  If that doesn't keep you up nights, I'm not sure what will, lol.  You'd probably be wise to pick whether you wish to remain a respected Amiga site or a TMZ equivalent of an "Amiga" site.

@Duce

Thanx for the feedback, we do appreciate it and use it to improve the site.

[Duce]

You will have to forgive the bluntness in what I said, but please look at the situation from the eyes of people that have contributed financial donations to show their appreciation for the hard work it takes to operate A.org.

I doubt a single one of them ponied up funds to read stories about Kanye West and his baby mamma, you know?  Nothing personal, I know keeping the site running well and with fresh content must be a big task in itself.
