I always wondered this too, but the other way around ;)


@Iggy

For me, the problem with place is that there is too much totally off topic posts here... A.org regulars can wander two, three pages totally off-topic with some nonsense Sunday weather chat, without anybody caring about the actual topic...
Mostly I have to auto-skim over most of the crap to find an actual on-topic post... but then I don't visit this place that often so what ever.

Hell, I think even Moo Bunny is more on topic than this place?

Oops, was I off topic? ;)

Too honest? :sealed:

:afro:


Wow, dont think Ive seen anyone fail at turning something around quite so heavily for a long, long time, so good job.

Nothing wrong with being off topic sometimes. I enjoy the social aspect of amiga.org myself, but there's also some good, grounded in reality amiga chat here as well. The problem for me with amigaworld.net is that it's a haven for completely delusional people who wont hear anything negative about their systems of choice but will instead bury thier heads ion the sand going, "nahnahnahnahnah" everytime something comes up that they dont like to hear (even if it is true), combined with a few people that continuously bait them.

And while we're objectifying the woman, I dont think I'd touch any of them with someone elses barge pole even. Especially the A-Eon girls. The one on the right has more nose than breasts. Being A-Eon theyre probably high maintanance anyway, cost way more than theyre worth  :)

p.s. sorry ladies, I jest. Im sure you all have great personalities :)

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

I wasn't going to say anything about Amigaworld.net but that is completely true. At least Amiga.org is accepting of everything Amiga and all the variants. You can talk about any of the Amiga systems here without worry of upsetting anyone (for the most part). You can even talk classic 8bit Commodore here if you want to.

Well with AW down and Amigans not sending me validation emails since day 1, stuck with A.org :(


Just checked Amigans. Looks like something happened and they had to build a new site. That's just what I've gleaned from reading a few topics. They apparently have a back up of the old site, but it seems this wasn't a planned change.

Perhaps one of the aw.net mods or admin could post and let us know, just to calm the rumour mill.

Each to thier own, but I think the rumor mill is much more entertaining than facts  :)
I heard that C-USA threatened to sue them if people didnt start addressing Barry and Leo as sir and madam so they've taken the site down until this is redeemed for past posts.

Yeah, I could, but it wouldn't help. To be honest we don't know what's wrong yet. From our side it looks like ISP problems, we've had that before, but nothing can be confirmed at this point.
Is that all you got? I\\\'ll take your best shot!

Oh bollocks you are! Prove you are who you say you are!

OK assuming you are who you say you are what happens now? Your site goes down and now you lot are coming over here? Not a chance.
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

Kesa,
   Hey, chill out.

Really, people. No need for the negativity.

I just find it an odd coincidence that AW is down and Amigans got hacked.  I'm just glad that the lights are still on here.
