Remember asking something like this before, but got no answer...
Is Amiga.org growing or shrinking? Is there any way to see a graph of traffic to the site over the years? That would be cool.
How many 'regulars' are there etc?
-
Quickly using the Members -> Experience page and ordering by descending order of activity, all scores are 0% after the 1197th user.
So it's fair to say that 1197 members have posted at least once since the "member experience" feature was enabled.
The true figure may actually be a fair amount higher, but your activity score decays towards zero after a period of inactivity.

Thanks for the details.
It's pretty strange, when I listed my A4k on ebay the other day, I had a few emails from people in my home town, basically saying "Wow! I didn't know there were any Amiga users in Bangor!"
I wonder how many casual users there are out in the wild, who've never even visited Amiga.org before.
Suppose we'll never know the true figure. We'll never even know how many Amigas were sold for flip sake!!
-
Maybe we can illicit more casual users to visit by doing something as simple as advertising A.org in future Miggy listings on Ebay?

Excellent idea!!
Is there an HTML Amiga.org button somewhere that we can link to?

I don't know, but to me it seems it's shrunk after they did the website change.
-
I thought I was seeing the same thing. Some people hate change (I can be that way). It seems like many members are spending less time here and more time on EAB. They don't run that board with a 1995 mindset like this one is.

What do you mean by that?? I always thought this site had mojo?

I find the moderators pretty harsh on this site and resistant to change, defensive, or not open to user ideas/feedback.

All the moderators do is moderate. New ideas/feedback regarding the site should be directed at the site administrator, not the moderators since we generally can't actually do anything about whatever idea it is you may have.
And far from being resistant to new ideas, how many forums have you used that have an integrated project management tool specifically for reporting bugs and suggestions?

Amiga.org got a spike of new users during the X1000 mystery. We will be advertising Amiga.org in Amiga Future Magazine soon, if anyone else has good marketing ideas for the site please let me know. One thing that would help the site is if more people signed up as paid members. That would give us more marketing dollars to advertise.

You cant be serious??
After all that bollocks where they wouldn't even tell us who they were???
I still don't know who they are!!
Sorry, but there's no way that you could expect anybody to donate money to a business!!
If anything, we should all be getting some stuff for free now that it's been bought over. Like free @amiga.org email addresses for instance.
Pfft!

I'd love to know is if there are any Amiga users left in my home town, here in Australia. Sometimes I dress up in rainbow striped socks, skirt and t-shirt, or red & white checkered socks, red and white skirt, top and this goofy red and white checkered hat, but I don't think anyone is associating it with Amiga. I need a t-shirt with that cool Amiga.org logo on it, with the boing ball, the rainbow checkmark, red diamond and the italic A, because there's no way any Amiga user is going to mistake that! I could probably save up enough money for a t-shirt, do you guys have any plans to sell them?

@Tension

Sorry Admin but I have to side with Tension on this.
All we have for 'site owner' is DiscreetFX Partners proudly being displayed at the bottom of the page - BIG DEAL! ... I mean for all we know this place could be owned by Mr 'Mil-Spec' Doomy himself. Yet here you are asking for people to pay for membership??? Sorry, not going to happen until the real owner of A.org show themselves.
When they show up here , my membership 'fee' will show up in A.org's paypal account.
Nuff said ... moving on ...
It doesn't take $$$'s to advertise A.org ... simply ask your members and give them advertising materials in the way of clickable links they can add to their adverts or websites. I'm sure there's a GFX artist who can provide you with a few logo's for such use.
Why not run a competition with free years membership to the winning designer???

Jens quit as a member of amiga.org over this crap of nobody knowing who owns the site now. Now you keep on playing games with this "look at the bottom of the page" stuff. I can kinda see Jens point when he was concerned that somebody bought the site and had access to his private information and he didn't know who this person was.
-
You caught us it's Doomy after all.... No, an Angel Investor from DiscreetFX Partners was nice enough to help Wayne and preserve a piece of Amiga web history (Amiga.org) for Amiga fans worldwide. His kindness is most appreciated. It was a nice gesture and expensive.
-
I don't get what all the fuss is over the new owner. Who cares? A guy somewhere spent 10,000 dollars to keep the site up. Whoever you are, thanks dude! I like this website.

@koaftder
Thanx, I'll pass along your nice message.

If there won't be any t-shirts sold from the site, I wouldn't mind making my own and wearing it, but I'd need to get a high resolution image of the Amiga.org logo. You know what else I think would make a cool item to sell from the site? Drink coasters with the logo on them, or a boing ball on one side and the C= logo on the other, something like that so we can put our tea, coffee, beer or soda on.
-
Don't forget Amiga socks like Petro used to have.
:)

Pyro, I'd just like to know if there's anything Amiga going on in Chicago. I move up to this area... talk about pffftt!! :)

Yes, T-shirts sounds like a great idea to me. Might be a good way to raise a little cash, but even better as prizes.

I like how you think. Always cool ideas.
Hmm, now where is my Amiga Club T-shirt....

Especially since, as far as I can tell, no changes have been made at all to how the site is run.

This might look nice on the back of a t-shirt ... :)

I used to use these to make T's years ago and they worked pretty well but rather than using an iron I used a professional t-shirt press. I also remember there being different grades/quality of transfer paper depending on the manufacturer.
