Well it's been fun guys, at least until recently. My last shreds of interest have faded away over the last 6 months. I've become a bitter, pessimistic grump. No need to stick around for this. If you want to chat, I'll probably be hanging around in #c64friends on irc.eskimo.com a lot.
No grand fairwells or that sort of crap, not saying I'm never posting again. I'll just be fading out. Just spending much more of my time in a healthy vibrant platform community, the C64 community.
I will continue to stock Amiga items in the store until April 1st, after then just C64 related goods. I'm thinking about starting a C-One forum, if you're interested in helping start one up email me. I will probably post a message or 2 here in the coming ~week as I list off the last of my Amiga goods.
Thank you Wayne for giving me what had been my favorite website for the last 10 years, I have been reading since the early days. "Amiga! The definition of multimedia under Windows screwed it up!" Hope to see you soon on the new project.

Please let this just be a temporary phase you are going through red.
You will be missed greatly.
Take care,

@redrumloa
Red, hope you reconsider. Take a week or two off, most of us probably do. Heck, I took about 3-4 years off entirely after Amiga Format closed shop. It really helps. Just pack up a nice A3000 or A4000 in the closet (sans battery). When the Amiga fever returns, you'll know it....that inexplicable rush when you first turn her on and hear that old familar 'click-click'.
Take care - Jason

@redrumloa
Bollox, you're just trying to avoid 7000 posts :-P
Don't even think about leaving. I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth, sit you infront of a browser and then tell you groaners of the worst calibre until you aquiesce and log in.
You have been warned :-D
Seriously dude, you are part of the furniture here. It wouldn't be the same without you.
-
Sad to see you go... again. You'll be back. The C64 scene got a nice boost lately with the 64DTV and C-One, but you still have to deal with morons like wildstar.
The Amiga and C64 scenes really aren't that different. For instance, I complained about Maurice (CMDKEY) on usenet and got plenty of people bashing me, sending me hate-mail, etc. as well as responses from those in the same boat as I was. It's just like saying something bad here or on AW about Eyetech, or Amiga, Inc. For some reason people that have floated thousands of dollars to them feel they must ignore the facts and blindly support them.
Oh well...
-
Hope to see you on a few other sites still red. Keep your Pegasos. Things are looking very bright for MorphOS and the Pegasos now. I'd love to see a C-One forum so I can learn more about them.
-
I hope you won't forget us, but I honestly know how you feel. There are a lot of days when I would very readily trade the entire kitandcaboodle for a good Canon Digital Rebel XT SLR camera kit like you see on eBay.
My interest in all of this is reaching it's end as well, but I would still hate to see you completely disappear.

Ta for the stuff you've been selling and au revoir redrum.

Moderator can you please delete this thread,
temporary amiga blues has afflicted another faithful
member. And Red is used to his more passionate posts
being deleted on a regular basis :lol:
(fingers in my ears... ya ya ya ya I'm not listening Red)
Plaz :-)

Sorry to see you going, man!
Hope to run into you on:

'till then, keep the peace and keep the faith!
Snoogans...

You will be back my retro Amiga friend. I guarantee it. :banana:
-
To quote Lister:
Gobsmack overload.
You'll be missed very much. Do remember to pop in now and then or I'll team up with Karlos to tell you all those groaners ;-)

Hoya!
Erk! Another cornerstone of AOrg leaves...
Boy, the situation concerning our machine MUST improve, otherwise, I will be the very last Amiga user on this sodding planet!!!
... OK, my Ammy is down at the moment, but still...
Respect, Redrumloa.
Be funky

I guess a person can take only so much.... :-o
Good luck Red. Hate to see you go.
Just remember the community, which is the people. Many in this community still consider you a good person if not a friend (or part of a larger family) as well as a fellow Amiga user.
Keep in touch.
-
@red
Hum,
Isn’t this the second time you’ve left?
Anyway have fun – and good luck with the new website.
-
Shame to see you go Red, hopefully you'll come back someday, on a lighter note your amiga soul still lives on, I have your CS-PPC which is now working well, you'll be glad to hear, just dirty pins on the 060 or something causing a bad connection there. Maybe when the MOS and AOS4 situations are resolved and we're back on track again more people will come to the community, I mean, I found it after all...

@Wayne,
Seriously wayne, if you left I think it would be the same.
You have not just made a website here, it's a community.
Yeah we all {bleep} and moan and are very opinionated, but it's family.
Red, you too. Stay invloved. C64 is in my eyes what opened up the excitement for the computer revolution. Amiga was born after that. I own both and hope to have a c128 really soon.
Yep it's old hardware, but look at what it has achieved. A really Passionate community that will argue down to the bone for what it believes in.
I dunno, as much as A Org annoys and frustrates me, I keep coming back. I'm looking forward to more news articles once the OS gets launced. That aught to keep people like Wayne busy LOL, may have to ask for help again hehhehehhehhe!
No offence Wayne ;)
-
@blobrana
LOL!!
And when you leave for a second time, I hope you will be missed too. Even if it is at least for your sense of humor!! :->
......such a bad ass :)
-
Good luck with whatever you decide red!
I have moments of depression where I want to sell the lot and give up..then I swing the opposite way and almost buy a uA1 to keep my PegaMOS company ;-)
A lot of this is directly proportional to the ups and downs in the forums.....of which I am indeed an addict!

Hi Jim,
I just noticed this thread - hope you're still reading:
I've become a bitter, pessimistic grump.
Happens to all of us, from time to time. :-D
I know we don't always see eye to eye but, over the years I've been coming here, your posts have been up there with the best of them.
Especially where MOS is concerned. I hope this isn't permanent.
Believe it or not, I'll miss you.
I know you don't anyomore but I'll have one for you. :pint:
[/quote]Thank you Wayne for giving me what had been my favorite website for the last 10 years[/quote]
I can only echo that.
All the best mate,
-
I hate goodbyes. Take care Red, and my the Force be with you.
Now, the only question is: who's gonna give us our departing gifts when we lose a debate to Tigger? ;-) (of course, I'm not saying that I ever lost a debate, but, well, you know what I mean... :-P)

l8r's red, i havn't really spoken to u much over last 12 months, and not on AIM for twice that, but take care M8
and remeber these two cliches
"after every dark night, there's a bright day ahead"
"waht doesnt kill us, only makes us stronger"

Hate to see you go red, you’re a great guy. You are joking about the C-64 scene being better though right? Jerry's new C-64 in a joystick is a cool idea and I used to be a C-64 fan. But once I saw the Amiga in the mid-80's my 64 was quickly sold and I never looked back besides buying a SX-64 in 1991 that I have only used twice. It is nice to see that the C-64 has new hardware that is selling well to retro gamers, I could never use the C-64 in my current plans though unless they figure out how to bolt a Video Toaster onto it or a version of Pagestream C-64 magically appears. DiscreetFX is releasing a new Digital Lifestyle magazine next month, while it is true that it only has 10% Amiga/MorphOS coverage it is designed using the Amiga version of Pagestream 5.0 Pro. There is no way I could lay out my magazine on a C-64, it would never be released. I could never do this on a C-64 or any of my other visual effects titles for that matter. The Amiga scene love it or hate is interesting and gave many developers their start. Not all the modern software tools are there but many of them are. If you ignore the flame wars the Amiga scene is pretty cool.

Dede-dow-dow-dow. Another one bites the dust! :-P
Sorry to see you leave redrumloa, but you could just do what I do and lurk around reading posts. I mean I'm not really an Amigan whatsoever anymore, but I still check Amiga.org to find out what's happening, posting in any topics that interest me.
-
Good luck, Red!
Hopefully the Amiga scene will soon die, so that it can be resurrected in the same way the C64 has been.
:-)

I know how you feel i have lost some interest since i got a new hobby www.tamiyaclub.com nice helpful community as well just like the early days of the amiga.If my amigaone goes on ebay that will be the day when i have lost all interest i have sold a fair bit of my amigastuff ,But i will never sell my cdtv i still like the classic games.

@amigamad
Tamiya... hmm... obviously your Tamiya is not as fast as my ex Schumacher Cougar :-D
-
Sorry to hear you being so Amiga-depressed.
Better to just take a break and come back another day.
Whatever you do, stay in touch!
-
:crazy:
just post all your c-64 posts here :-D
I love my c64 and 128
First time I played bards tale was on the 64

@redrumloa
All the best red. See you on the other side.

You summed it up. Commodore made computing FUN. The Amiga fired off a revolution. The fact that it refuses to die is a testimony not only to the great innovators at Commodore, but to the users as well. All of us who still cobble together 20 year old machines and use them regularly help keep the spirit alive. :)
