Why is this forum so Amiga unfriendly

@Wayne

I see what you are saying up until you say "less usable"

Surely making the site simpler for older machines would in fact still make it "more usable" for better equipped machines

Efficiency and cutting out bloat should make things smoother on all machines I'd imagine

Sometimes I wonder if so many Amiga users, who constantly proselytize about the Amiga's inherently great multimedia capabilities, wouldn't be happier with a green screen and CP/M.

It's 2008 for crying out loud.

/me puts hand up

Yes I am happier with my Televideo TS-803H. Actually I've posted to Amiga.org on one of my CP/M systems before :crazy:

Can't be that unfriendly then, surely an Amiga beats a CP/M, especially one as beasty as scuzz's, sounds like its unrelated to the system itself and more to his connection maybe?

I don't understand why so many people need to be so nasty here instead of trying to help. I think a text-only version or something similar for low-bandwidth users is a great idea, similar to what the English Amiga Board has just implemented with the "Mobile" version.

I must admit, I haven't used my Amiga online yet so I don't know how much trouble it would be, but I use this site from a PC with dialup and have no problems with it, so I don't think it's a speed related problem.

I hope you find a way around the problem and can post from your A4000 soon.

Hear hear.
I'm amazed at actually how UNFRIENDLY this supposedly Amiga forum can be sometimes (in both senses!)

Looking at some of the posts from people, you would think it was a Win XP problem ripping into the poor little Amiga user trying to explain to him why the site doesn't work properly on his little machine.

But instead people should realise that Scuzz is in an increasing minority, a special  minority we should be proud of who actually STILL ACTIVELY USE THEIR REAL AMIGAS AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!!

It is easy to sit there comfortably in front of your Linux/Windoze box saying it's the hardware but remember this site was built for AMIGA users and we should help the guy in any way we can since he is more of an Amiga user than many of us!

Unfortunately he hasn't posted for a while after bidding his farewell so it seems too late and Amiga.org seems to have lost a seemingly very dedicated Amiga repairer.
