Title: what happened to wrongpla.net?
Post by: TheMagicM on October 24, 2007, 07:54:34 PM
I know there are folks that dont like that website but I think its very funny.  Due to the events going on in Amigaland I figured there would be things to write about.. their website isnt accessible though?

Never heard of this site before and now I'm trying to forget I ever saw it. That people spend time to build something like that amazes me...

if you cant laugh at things like that, then you're taking things way to seriously.

I don't buy that at all.  I don't take anything with regards to the Amiga situation seriously any more, but I have an overactive sense of humor.

I guess the only way you'd find anything on that site funny is if you DID take any of this seriously or are seriously bitter about one side or the other.  

Me?  I don't care, I just don't find it funny.  Never have.  Seems like someone's way to post anonymous snarky comments and you can get more than enough of that by just going to moobunny.

Yep and that is why I stick to Classic Amiga. The result of all the fighting there has been about OS4 is that I just don't care anymore.

Are you talking about Hyperion or wrongpla.net?

In any case, this is the funniest story on wrongpla.net to date! Whoever submitted it has a truly sublime sense of humor:

Hey, if you can actually be funny or write actual satire as opposed to the driveling snotballs of teenage pimply snarkyness they normally post, go for it.  If not, well, that's up to you.. :)

That site is not meant to be taken seriously. It is more of a humour site that parodies the world of Amiga.
I myself enjoy reading some of the articles posted there.
But anyways... i must admit that some articles are rather bad as well, so guess they have different people who submit these "stories"

A sarcastic Amiga site is a great idea and, hey, it's not that there isn't enough to write about. But the writing is bad and just not funny. It's like looking at an amateur stand-up comedian that tries too hard. You can't help but feel sorry and slightly embarrassed.
