We got a nice e-mail today about Amiga.org and thought it would be good to share. It always feels good to be appreciated. Nothing bad in the e-mail except for a implied dig at Amiga Inc. so not sure why they want their name withheld.
Hey DiscreetFX
I just sent you a donation and wanted to say thanks for keeping Amiga.org alive. When Wayne announced he was going to sell it in 2009 I was afraid it might fall into ownership limbo like the Amiga itself. It seemed at first that a group of Amiga.org members might buy it which might have turned into a case of too many cooks in the kitchen. But I never got to find out what that would be like because DiscreetFX Partners quickly bought it up. I was afraid at first because I did not know much about you guys. Well I should have never doubted you, here it is almost two years later and Amiga.org is alive and well and finally off Wayne’s servers. The site seems a lot faster now but that could just be my imagination. While I will miss Wayne I am happy with how smoothly the transfer of ownership went, nothing like the drama of the Amiga itself. Thanks again for keeping one of the oldest places on the internet for Amiga freaks up and available. Feel free to share this e-mail if you want but please don’t post my name.
Sincerely
Name withheld by request

I just wanted to add that the excellent mod staff that was already in place when we took over helps keep the site going. We have a nice team!

Excelent news. I have to admit that you've kept this site moderated perfectly between the lines of "free speech" and "trolling" IMHO.

Ditto. I'm loving it..!
BTW: Where's Franko today? I hope the squirrels haven't carried him off.

Yes quite so except for the part where they banned Doomy. Doomy was cool.
PS - Excelent is spelt Excellent. Naughty boy :madashell:

@Kesa
You really want us to bring him back? LOL!
He was banned on 05-20-2009 way before we took the site over.
-
Yes. Is it possible?
He's been banned from pretty much every Amiga website and it's been a long time without any contact with other Amigans. He might soon start to go mad.

@Kesa 'start' to go mad? :)
@Pyromania. I'm enjoying Amiga.org as much as I ever did (which is a lot) so thanks from me also for taking it on board.
I only wish it had been announced sooner who owned it, 'cos then Jens might have stayed. I have to go to 'the other place' to find out what he's up to now. But seeing as I check in there now and again, it's not really a bind!

Whew! Ok, I though the title was a joke and this was going to be about someone trying to sue A.ORG or something.
But I will gladly throw my hat in with everyone else in saying THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for keeping this site alive. It is the only one I really hang out on and feel that I have friends.
I'd write more, but I spend half of the post energy now on spell checking to keep Kesa the spelling Nazi away!!! :sealed:
