The look is well... amiga.org with another logo.


From what I can tell, having looked at many XOOPS oriented sites, the look seems pretty standard which kinda makes me think XOOPS doesn't give much room  for creativity. So is it really an amiga.org look or is amiga.org, amigaworld.net and all the other ones really nothing more than XOOPS lookalikes? I think the latter.

So I wish people would stop comparing all the XOOPS sites to amiga.org when the truth seems to be that if you use XOOPS, the layout is pretty much determined by XOOPS itself.

Don't know which one was first, but his XOOPS package is getting over-used. Oh well. It's pretty at least.


No disrespect to Wayne but XOOPS isn't Wayne's package. He chose it early last year after looking at several other content management systems and yes, it is way over used in the Amiga community. However, just because Wayne uses it doesn't mean others shouldn't. He hasn't got an exclusive right over it.

Personally, I think XOOPS is a pile of poo and would be looking elsewhere but if it works for some, that's all that matters.

I wish people would stop complaining and instead support Amiga sites (there's not that many left), after all people don’t complain about all the 3D PC Games sites looking the same.

I was actually defending you against the "Oh, another amiga.org clone" people :-)
