Amiga.org Welcomes Genesi as an advertising sponsor

[Please, note that my only reason for replying to this topic is not to troll, it is to clear up misconceptions. None of what I say is an untruth, it is merely to inform and since my clarification of this is getting deleted all of the time, and since you asked, I have no recourse but to answer.]

This is AMIGA.org - whay the hell aren't Amiga sponsoring it?

We were, remember?  We hosted amiga.org on a dedicated server that we pay for and that server was used for nothing else but amiga.org.

So, while we didn't donate explicit monies, we did put resources behind amiga.org. No one can refute this.

P.S. I do find it interesting that when I ask Wayne to, for the community,  clear up the misconceptions regarding Amiga Inc's former role in amiga.org, the topics get deleted..  I wonder if this one will get deleted now, as well?  ;-)  Then again, if clarification of our involvement keeps being removed, I could always make an announcement on our own website.. but I would prefer not to do that - for obvious reasons.  This is something that Wayne has a duty to clarify or at least let us clarify.

For what I remember the server needed serious updating by Wayne before he could use it.

Uhm.. no.  Check with Wayne, my friend.  It was me who installed the extra support software he needed.  He may have had to "tweak" some settings and install the site software (XOOPS) himself, but I installed the support software, set up the MTA and even tweaked some support scripts for him to merge user email addresses into the virtual user table for the MTA.

As for "tooting" horns, I am offended that you even view me in that way -- that it is possible that I might "toot" a particular horn.   As anyone who knows me can confirm, that is not who I am and you can even ask Wayne himself about that.  When I reply, it is to correct a mistruth or spin -- nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks for being a stand-up guy there Wayne.  I missed that in the other thread.

One thing I have to note regarding your comments:  Amiga does care about the Amiga community in whole (as opposed to the "kommunity" that some people refer to as the followers of Amiga Inc).  Don't mistake unexplained silence for contempt, ignorance or a lack of interest.  If Amiga wasn't interested, then Amiga wouldn't have put forth the effort to sponsor and create the partnerships that are producing the forthcoming products.

I know you (Wayne) are jaded by Amiga for your own personal reasons (which you and I discussed and I won't put those in the public eye), but that has nothing to do with the products nor Amiga's involvement in them, or otherwise.
