Ok, now what?
« on: January 02, 2002, 01:50:00 AM »
I'll bet a lot of you are simply wondering what the heck is going on here.  First, I said I was bringing the site back, then you told me that I said I wasn't, now you're seeing this.  This is getting weird.

You're right.  I thought I would give this one, final try.  My objections and the last post was NOT that I was quitting altogether.  Simply that I no longer have the time available to dedicate to the site like I want to.

So be it.  Many of you wrote to tell me that you would be willing to help moderate the site.  Here's your chance to put up or shut up.  

I'll finish putting this new package into the traditional Amiga.org look/feel (though probably without all the excessive graphics).  It's up to *YOU* to populate and help us get this site back to the way it was.  

I will no longer be accused of favoritism towards Amiga DE or Amiga Inc because *I* will not be the people posting to this site, nor will I have the time I used to have to work with it, so STOP BLAMING ME for Amiga Inc's delays, and the MorphOS versus the World war.

I'm putting this site back up because you, the Amiga users, demanded it.  It's up to you where it goes and what is seen here.  If you want it to succeed, lend a hand.  If not, don't.  Couldn't be simpler...

I will however retain the right to slap you if you get out of hand, or to edit badly written posts, or to change my mind altogether at a drop of the hat.  I hope that won't be the case however.

Thoughts?

It's not that simple.  You're talking about the difference between writing a simple HTML page and writing code which has to be interwoven with PHP and Javascript.

If you want to put together a full-size screenshot, I'll take them all, let people vote on them, and let that determine what we shoot for but I can't guarantee that what works in an HTML editor will work in real-world.

Can't do anything about the Javascript except recommend the use of a real Web client.  Of course the Amiga doesn't have one, so I'm at a loss for what to do.

I registered. Just for you Wayne. For old times:)

I've been away from the Amiga for a long time. Who won that World War anyway?

This site looks something like PostNuke. I like it!

Wayne,

Glad to see you back up here. I've not had an easy time trying to
translate what I want to read at Amiga-news.de. I hope this one
withstands the hackers.

I've still got to get that Pay-Pal donation off to you. I hope others
will, too. I know you won't post about that, . .  hope you don't mind
that I've suggested it to others reading here.

Paul

I've got to admire your tenacity!  keep up the good work and I do hope you get help.  BTW the most help I can be is to NOT try to do anything..grin  I tend to screw up anything I do on the web...  

One note though -- If this site did nothing but copy whats on the official site it would be great.  The Amiga .com loads so slow half the time I give up.  This site loads fast.  Everyone I know would come here to save time if nothing else...bigger grin.  

Bear (I'll be back in another six months or when the next promise is made)
