Weird ... I was on it this afternoon .. Maybe Amiga has been bought out by Commodore Gaming and they are going to produce new Commodore Amiga models ...

Hahaha

Wishfull thinking

I presume they have the beginner plan at Hard Hat Hosting.  That's US Dollars 24.95 a month, a sizable number of evil snowmen apps..

Thats funny because right after the hyperion announcement someone on amiga roundtable mentioned amiga.com would be a 404 error page within weeks...
 
Maybe Silly Billy couldn't sell enough snowman maker apps to pay his domain fees or web hosting. Amiga inc is a joke.
 
Personally I hope they lost the domain name. Then Silly Billy can go on and find a real job and stop trying to suck the amiga community dry while delivering NOTHING.

My bet is that they've sold the domain to a Spanish/Portuguese dating service...  It's the only thing they had of value.

This thread sort of reminds me of those dismal months during and after Commodore's bankruptcy  :-(

Plotting their revenge on the PC. Like Russia is still the Soviet Union, just keeeping itself under-wraps and striking when the humble blue screen machine at it's weakest!!!

Mwaahahahaaa!

Ok, well I hope this is the case anyway... We can all dream.

Its back with little or no change that I can see.
 
Maybe Silly Billy pushed the wrong button on his phone earlier.
 
Maybe amiga anywhere crashed the website.
 
Maybe Silly Billy was browsing porn sites on their server and crashed it,
or more likely, he was looking at os4.2 news and wishing he wasn't such an Xsshole to hyperion.

They are back again (Amiga dot com and Snowmen). I don't find anything new on their page... They still say the license with Hyperion is terminated since 2006.

Amiga: "We port 15 year old games to mobile platforms that nobody uses anymore!" Seriously? Windows Mobile?

Amiga.com are a serious joke .

Their site is rubbish , their products suck .

They could do so much with the brand name they own .
