Sometime between Friday, January 9th and Monday, January 12th, Amiga.org will be taken offline for an unspecified time to accomplish maintenance and upgrades. During this time, and for a while afterwards, e-mail forwarding will not work. We've been planning these actions for quite a while, but they are quite in-depth, and prone to error.
Contrary to circulating rumor, Amiga.org is not being retired at this time. We will be back ASAP. More information about the changes and new features will be made available after our return to service.

What do you mean without an Amiga site :-?
I thought you had your own: AmigaCentre (http://yourdreamnet.co.uk/amigacentre/)
If AW and AO both are temporarily down I am sure you wouldn't mind the bandwidth hike whilst people "Crashed" at your site for a while eh?? :-P
@ Everyone
It would be a good idea to bookmark it now to avoid searching later.
-
hey... even if AO goes offline for a few hours/days you always have good alternatives like:
http://www.amiga-news.de/ (100% neutral news)
http://www.wrongpla.net/ (100% funny news, but sometimes down because hackers)
:-D
-
Like vultures you guys are...
:-)
-
Hey Wayne nice to see you around!
Don't worry when everything is sorted everyone will be back.
People may need a temporary fix to avoid going "cold turkey" :-P
Best of luck ;-) :-)
[edit]
I remember 'crashing' at skippy's when this site last went down and skippy was still running his boards. Pity he had to shut down his forums do to abuse.
-
holy ####, with aw already down and a.org also to go out for a few days, that will mean i will be forced to do something which i deeply fear...
to have the sun light hit my skin :-D :-P
-
to have the sun light hit my skin
I'd never let it get that far :-P

@Vincent
:roflmao:

Its best to check with a small area of skin before gettiing full solar exposure.
You never know the reaction that your skin will have to sunlight. :-P
Much higher levels of radiation than a computer monitor could have catastrophic effects (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/sunrash.htm).
You have been warned :-D
-
@Bodie
I wouldn't. I hear people die from that.
:)

...oh, and your eyes will get used to the sunlight, after about 30 minutes of squinting. 8-)

yeah i agree
i simply cannot upload pictures, not even on the Mac version of IE. i find this a bit silly.

HopperJF:
Have you tried Safari?
-
@ bodie
It's what they call the Monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
It's in the crater Tycho. It's a magnetic anomaly. They dig it out and find a big black screechy slab ;)
-
@Argo:
My main browser is Camino (Mozilla) tried that, tried Safari, tried IE and SilvrDsgn still says it isnt working
-
Did you try turning your firewall off for a moment ?
Have nice weekend :-)
-
Guys? Please stop spazzing. :-)
The Image gallery uploads appear to be broken for everyone at the moment. Will have to check to find out why. It's on a long list of phase 1 to-do's.
