( edit - Michal has edited his site so I no longer need to post the amigaworld.net side of events )

[DaveP]

Whatever you say Michal. I suggest you find other things to kick because you aren't going to get any change out of me with that aggressive and rude attitude.

You will need to talk to DaveyD about that, I don't have editor rights on it. My opinion on that probably aligns with yours on the bit I think you don't like.

[DaveP]

Kees

Sure, but to be certain of the bits you would like edited, could you send us a mail at DaveP@amigaworld.net and Ill talk to DaveyD on IRC.

@Bobson

The majority of moderation I have had to do of late has been to moderate people for making slanderous statements about Genesi, slagging off MorphOS and going overboard trying to start a flamewar with anti-MorphOS statements including locking one guy out of his account for persistent trolling about morphos. But of course that does not match up with the AmiDelf agenda so lets ignore it right...

The community was split way before amigaworld.net became popular, in fact amigaworld.net becoming popular is the symptom, not the cause.

[DaveP]

Well, it wasn't literally split into Amiga.org and Amigaworld.net...and even if we've always had multiple websites, this one sure felt different...and it was different, in its inception and marketing in those early days.

No idea what you mean here.

of course, there were feelings precipitating the formal split into a new website, but even if you don't feel it was the cause, it was also not the solution.

Depends on the problem you were seeking a solution to.

nevertheless, we are quibbling over words, and besides, past is past. I tend to think that we are all getting closer to being in the same boat again.

Maybe.

as time goes on, amigaworld.net is simply another community portal, rather than a splinter group.

Yep.

[DaveP]

You said the community was already split. Along ideological lines, perhaps...but not literally split, in the sense that most everyone was hanging out at amiga.org. Later the split was a bit more defined with one group at amigaworld.net and another at amiga.org

I think that is actually quite untrue, most of the people on amigaworld.net also go elsewhere - one website hardly serves everyones needs - including the need to argue, troll, belittle, scream at competitors, annoy people etc or the need to be left alone to discuss the common interests of a significant subgroup. As time goes on the audience, focus, marketing and policy all all the web portals will change in one way or another.

Yes, even I had an account on both sites, and still do....but thats quibbling over details...but thats exactly what you are going to do, so you win.

Thats a bit unnecessary - that last remark - don't you think? If it was just details I wouldn't have engaged what you said.

Dave.
