Not really.  The problem is, every one of the channels you're aware of starts out with good intentions, but like Amiga.org's forums themselves, there's only so much new Amiga information and news to go around.  As a result, most of the channels start out being very diehard and migrate to real life conversations just to keep talking.

Not to mention the fact that there are very, very few real "diehard Amiga users" left in the first place.  I honestly would place the number of people who use Amigas religiously and uniquely (who would want to talk on an "Amiga only channel") to be about 5 and that's not enough to base a channel on, unless someone wants to sit in it 24/7 to keep it alive.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

Well I used to use my Amiga exclusively for IRC and email (It's the only thing I do on it really), but unfortunately my HD thought a few days ago was a good time to nuke itself. Another HD is pending s/w installation. That is if I can ever be arsed again to install the thing, basically I'm holding on to it to run OS4 on it...

But the Bliz version is prolly years away. Maybe I should dump the 1200 on EBay sometime and get Amiga Forever 6 instead  :-(.

Oh, that's clever..

Maybe if you stopped acting like a total a55hole, people would want to try that game of yours. That ultra-zealous attitude won't get you anywhere, seeing as most people *do* have other things in their lives than Amigas.

Well, if you don't count expanded A1200's and the like that actually have graphics cards and accelerators as 'real' Amigas I doubt you will have much luck .. Technology moves on.

Maybe not the right way to put it, but quite true though.

Or a place where the PC users don't use the Amiga forums as a poor excuse to show their ego?

Hrm, this thread is just going to get sillier (in a negative way).
