Unfortunately it seems this way.

BTW curious thing the aw.net fallout. MobbyG leaving and all that. Must be a coincidence, surely.

We will see what will become of amiga.org.


I cannot speak for MobbyG on this but as a contributor to the show... hell I guess Rich and I started it so to speak.. I have been staying out of this drama as best I can to be honest.  (I always figured that I would be the first person to get us heat.) I would like to assure you that to the best of my knowledge what happened over on the other site, and the new owner announcement show is completely unrelated.

In fact the, at the time, prospective buyer, contacted me via PM on this site back in October I think. Their identity was unknown to us all via the account that sent the PM and still is. I mean we all chatted back and forth with guesses from everything from Bill to John C. Dvorak of all people. Who the hell knows. I really just hope that by the end of the recording this Sunday, I don't walk away feeling like more of a pawn that I already do now.

You guys have at least verified with Wayne that that account really is the new owner though right?


You are kidding, right?

Normally I would not ask such, just assuming someone would verify that first.  But stranger things have happened in the Amiga community unfortunately.  

But I'll take that as you have verfied.  Cool.  If it is Bill though that will be kind of funny, since he is a part of the show already.  lol

I hear ya.

Oh and gosh..it was actually on the first week of September. I vetted the account with Wayne shortly thereafter.

I'm not angry Wayne.  I'm just speaking my mind.  Given the other stuff that went on with the show its sadly not surprising this happened.  Certainly he approved advertising info about the Hyperion project being show content when it was really a gag the week before, etc.  He quits Amigaworld.net in a big display when his co-host is the new admin of this site in the lead up to advertising of this show.  

And why did his co-host, the middle man of this deal as you put it, why did he let this happen after all the fanfare advertising this?

It just an unecessary circus in my mind.  I've got way bigger concerns in my life to be "angry" about this though.


Thank God ffastback. I am very glad to hear you are not "angry" about this.

Sometimes you just have to put down your guard and realize that not everything is a conspiracy. Your recent commentary about our show leads me to think that you have a podcast up your sleeve perhaps.. and boy that would be great. In fact I welcome anyone to do what Rich does and start your own podcast.. yeah kids..come on!

Try to do your part in adding something creative to our small amiga community and get picked apart. Yes you too can spend a large bit of your free time and spare cash putting effort into something and then become famous as the next victim that gets raked over the coals from a few in our community that have nothing better to do. Oh its a blast! Oh the pirks are great kids. Yes you could even be accused of doing something fishy regarding a third party business arrangement in which you have nothing possible to gain.. but hey it means more popcorn for everyone! Yahoo! Climb aboard! :)

ffastback I really don't know what your motives are - but I got to tell you..you are quickly becoming once of the most ponderous guys in our community that I have ever come across.
