Title: Do You Come Here Often?
Post by: A4000_Mad on December 03, 2010, 04:32:02 PM
Hi Guys,

I'm curious as to how often you come here?

I guess a 10 option poll could go something like this:-

* A few times per month

* Once per week

* A few times per week

* Once per day

* A few times per day

* At least once per hour

* I live here with Franko :D

*Bah! Humbug!

* Pancakes

* Other

EDIT: Poll added :)

A very Merry Christmas to everyone :drink:

These days i come here everyday, amiga.org is my prefered amiga site so far (except my national site http://www.amigaimpact.org) :-)
That's because i am in an amiga fever cycle for now. But from time to time, i am used to loose all interest in the amiga and forget it for several months. When it comes, i do not connect at all to any amiga sites.
When the passion comes again, i usually have great surprises about what have been done while i was off (such as Indivision have been made, EOB2 AGA has been ported, etc).

It has indeed previously crossed my mind that this place could just be simulation as you don't actually see anyone. But if it is, then it sure is a great and enjoyable one :)

At least once a day. It's strangely relaxing. Brings back memories of good old times when I used to use my Amigas on a daily basis. Now I settle with Amga Forever and my Peg II every now and then.

Some times I check a few times a day, especially when there's newsworthy stuff happening.

Other times it is a bit less frequent, a couple of times a week.

Ususally once every day.  Coffee, and a little light reading to start my day.

Hmmm... the more I think about it the more that seems like some cheesy chat up line to me... :eek:

Several times *almost* everyday :)

Well, since I retained my Amiga moments, which was almost two years ago, I started with aorg.

But shortly then I switched to awnet, then added morphzone and aros-exec.

Anyway I don't post much here because I feel majority of posts are classics-related.  I do not own a classic now, still, planning minimig or natami but this is for gaming only.

When I'm not busy, I check awnet as well as all other portals daily, maybe twice a day.  But if I got too much duties, it happens that I check out aorg every week.

So it really depends.  Approximately: twice a week.  But I feel no longer a regular here, I used to be, I'm rather awnet regular now.

Lately I browse a few times a day to kill time, but sometimes I don't check the site for months.

Same here. Like to check and see if anyone needs help with their Miggy's hardware wise that I can help with. Great reading about the various Amiga-like communities too (MorphOS, AROS, etc.) in the morning and I like to keep a pulse on who's selling what. Not enough sellers anymore though and to add insult to injury - usually ends up being a pointer to an ePay ad  :(

I check twice every hour, it is so fast pace here, I do love the glory days of the Amiga and this place takes me there sometimes if only in my mind. I have 3 A2000,s with toaster, kitchen syncs and hope to use use them to VJ in the Washington/Balto area.

I visit amiga.org about once a day, usually anonymously.  More often on days off.

I try to read every relevant post on every English speaking Amiga forum throughout the day, every day. I usually don't bother with Off-Topic areas, I just need to absorb all the Amiga news to get a more complete understanding of what's going on in the scene.

Hi,

I don't live here with Franko, but I do come at least once a day to see what he is up to.

Otherwise I usually stop by to troll for the unsuspecting, poke a little jab at AROS, at MorphOS and MAC users.

The only person I really have a grudge with is Karlos, he always spoils my fun, and I will pay back some how. Just kidding Karlos, hope we are still friends.

I usually look to see if their is anyone I can help with the Amiga, since I used to be a Commodore salesman in the San Francisco Bay Area that won 3 sales awards in a row, while the Amiga was still going strong.

Today I guess you can say that I forgot more about the Amiga then most people will ever know or know today. Wish I could remember it like back then, I could tell you what jumpers to set and for what, on any Amiga made. I could tell you how to add switches and patch cables so you could press a switch and freeze memory so you could dump that uncopyable disk to hard drive as a file.  Yeah I come here mostly because I enjoy the company of other Amiga people. I love to troll, stir the pot, and have fun. Maybe someday I will be selling a new Amiga, and I hope it is soon.

Hi,

@Franko,

OK I will admit it, Karlos set up the private boards to hard for me to figure out.
Have to blame someone Karlos don't you know.

OK

sometimes I am a bloomin onion (idiot).

@A4000_Mad
 I used to come here at least 3 times a day and be more active. Now, having lost a large portion of my enthusiasm, and finding A.org a less interesting place to visit (This is purely subjective and may be due to the previously mentioned reason) i come once a day average.
 Merry xmas to you too! :)

Post by: jsixis on December 06, 2010, 06:48:00 PM
once or twice a month, I've forgotten 99% of what I use to know about the classic amigas and have no desire to learn about the "someday new Amigas"
Title: Re: Do You Come Here Often?
Post by: tone007 on December 06, 2010, 08:47:43 PM
I check in from my computer at work, my phone while sitting at the bar, various internet-enabled devices at stores while shopping (actually checked from a printer running Android at Staples yesterday,) and of course at home on whatever computer happens to be powered up.
Title: Re: Do You Come Here Often?
Post by: PanterHZ on December 07, 2010, 12:30:47 AM
A few times per week, although I have visited this site more often recently. It all depends upon what else I'm doing + my Amiga interest comes and goes as well.

I come here several times a day... I really like the classic techie Q's & A's. Always find some useful information from the very knowledgable people here. Everyone's always so helpful.
