Rougue er all

They were? I must have a bad memory.

All of the Amiga-like next gen hardware suffer the same flaw..... lack of market share.

If this is true, can it be undone??

Largely the the battles ended and relative peace returned. Members who did not leave completly for other platforms and interests then settled in to forums where the felt most comfortable whether Amiga.org AmigaWorld.net Amigans.net Morphzone.org A1k.org or EAB.abime.ne

Many now travel between these villages and are generally welcomed. It's polite to respect the local fair and conversation when visiting though. A thread popular on one site, may not be welcome conversation on another.

Truely the only thing that would raise memberships and maybe tighten old bonds would be a new successful platform. It's been 14 years since the CBM demise, chances seem slim to none. OS4, MOS and AROS have made strides, but here we are, and here we may always remain. Except there is always... hope.

I know  all this , was around for it all.
 
Was just wondering why given we do discuss AOS4 on this site, that the devs neever pop in to dicuss things.  We are a pretty firendly bunch these days.

I know you we're around, my reply was more a history summary for relative new comer Tension.

And the answer still goes back to 'where they felt most comfortable after the divisions'.  AW.org and Amigans became the default area for OS4 dev talk. Also I'm sure it's probably just a matter of available spare time. Why spend valuable time double-posting across sites, when they know they can post once and then we can all visit there. I don't think it's because they beleive were unfriendly to OS4 here.

There is an insanelty long thread about some super duper secret project hyperion is working on

Especially long if you're just now getting started on it. It's been growing by the day for a couple of weeks.

I'd like to think the uber project is a final settelment with Amiga Inc with a new big investor involved. Being a skeptic, I'd say just releasing a new OS version that sells another few hundred or even a thousand motherboards won't be exciting enough.

Maybe Google's ChromeOS is actually AmigaOS 4.2, now that would be exciting.

It is exactly that kind of thread that would not be tolerated here... Suggest, on the other hand, that the Amiga 9Pin joystick port is better than any other port in the known universe and we will argue to the death

:lol:

Thanks, that was a good one. But every one knows the best Commodore joystick ever was that little square headed one that stuck to the side of you commodore. Dang, can't remember the name. I'll have to go dig it out of storage now.

Suncom made one of those (fit the 128 nicely) and while I'm sure it was OK for GEOS, I can't imagine playing games with it.

That was it, thanks. The GEOS tie-in was one of their marketing points, but it worked great for other apps too. No, you wouldn't or couldn't use it for games where you do a lot of stick slamming.  I can't seem to easily find a picture on the net any where. Maybe I'll have to put one or two in the gallery here if there aren't any already.

@DiskDoctor

ANN.lu V2.0? I miss that one. Big problem however for any news feed today is the lack of news.

A bit like amigann?

I'm not possitive but I think that site just tried to load some malware on my windows box. Some thing call "secure service" attemped to load. Google shows the site as clean though, so I'm not sure where that just came from. My host of 4 different scanners/cleaners show I'm clear ATM.

2) new forums posts feed <-- this one would do the job!

#2 would be nice. I'm on other forums that update you with the latest posts on threads you want to follow. Nice feature.

Didn't realise there were still problems with malware - there was a deliberate attack on the server that hosts AmigaNN and various other sites a while back. Thought it had been cleared up.

I only visit the site under AmigaOS, so no problems here :-)

Normally I'm using Opera or Firefox on the PC. This morning I'm being lazy, and see what it gets me?    Not 100% sure it was amigann or not, but I visited the page, the browser locked up, I killed all my open browers, relaunched IE and got virus scanner warnings immediately after. Then I spend the next 15-20 minutes manually running my scanners to be safe. I'd revisit for another test, but I don't feel like spending more time flirting with malware, too many choirs waiting on my and I guess it's time to get to some of them. Maybe later I'll fire up a virtual box that I can roll back if it gets infected and check again.
