On the 31st of this month, Wayne will we know be sending out new random passwords for us all. I have decided not to bother updating after this. Wayne is determined to break down this one of a kind site, fairy snuff, thats his choice and right. Likewise, its my right not to like that change. Since in order to get the same quality (in theory) service over two sites where one used to do, I won't bother. You guys have been great trully, and I thank Wayne for building this place. I thank all the folks here for putting up with my insubstancial rants from time to time and for providing me with more comedy moments than I can remember.

But I feel its time to move on and this password update provides me with a clean break to do so. Take care guys, I'll miss you all.

I'll still be part of the furnature odin :-)

Besides, what better use of a new ADSL line then sitting in an IRC channel ;-)

Me? Core member? bwhahahahaha

No seriously.

I like this site because it has a little bit of everything, a bit of politics, a bit of religion, and enough computery stuff to keep my inner geek happy. A radical shift in this sites ballance or spliting it up into seperate bits to me is a waste of time from my perspective. I stated as much when Wayne put the feelers out on this idea in the beginning. I understand that nothing lasts forever. But to break this place up destroys what kept me comming back.

To quote GadgetMaster in another place:

Amiga.org wasn't the perfect Amiga site, nor the perfect political site, but it was the perfect site for Amigans.

That sums up my feelings far more eloquently then I ever could.

@ -D-

I genuinely don't think I am worthy of such praise, but thankyou :-)

@ gizz72

You've been a good laugh yourself, indeed I've enjoyed having such a different perspective on things from my own, and for proving that my predudices were just that on several issues. :-)

I'll still be around, just not here is all.

My IM details are in my profile if you're that desperate to chat to me :-)

@Itstanfo

I read the announcement, but as Karlos stated earlier, I picked this time simply because it was convenient, I was (emphesis past tense) under the impression given by wayne that he was planning on breaking up amiga.org into an amiga only centric site (or indeed, letting it go the way of the old AWD) and a seperate coffeehouse site.

Nowhere in the announcement re the password change was there any inplication of amiga.org's closure nor did I read into that such a thing.
