New MorphOS Website: MorphZone

[teo]

From the bottom news item over there, "Keep up the great work targhan!" I guess this means you do the work over there as well... Explains the layout being for the most part *very* similar (disregarding the skins) Being a webmaster there and here might raise a few eyebrows. I say this as the sites would normally be seen as competing for the same community members.

Teotwin raises an eyebrow...

@bbrv

Why not two sites, two user groups, etc.

I guess you mean AmigaOS and MorphOS, so are you implying that there is a one site for each user group? therefore saying that the morphos users are going to use your site and leave amiga.org? or would you rather m-os users stay here as well and will you allow AmigaOS supporters to post AmigaOS articles at your site? Im sure you can see what im getting at...

If you read thru my recent posts you will find one that refers to the user groups separating, so i think that opening this site is a fantastic idea, assuming that it will be "the place to be" for m-os users, and amiga.org will be "the place to be" for ao-s users. What do you think bbrv? seems fair enought to me!

Oh you want to twist it that way do you, fine, how about this...

Now, i can pussy foot around the issue if you like, or i can say straight out "amiga OS and morph OS are competing *commercial* products", and i see you are involved in promoting morph os news on amiga.org & the morph site, Im damn sure that ill see very limited AmigaOS news to appear on the morph site ...unless its a convenient (knee-jerk)response to this message bbrv... and i doubt that it will be a common occurance in the long term either.

Its got nothing to do with the number of sites you work on, its the fact that they are COMPETING COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS. And if i was concerned enought and thought it was a conflict of interest and that you have covert intentions I WOULD HAVE SAID IT, but as i dont, i simply raised an eyebrow.

You can work on all the sites you want, did i say you couldnt, i didnt think so. in regards to the sites looking similar, did you hear me say that was a bad thing, did i phase it as an insult, did i say you shouldnt do it? i didnt think so, all i said is that its because you are responsible for a.org as well which explains the similar look, and if you want to be a tosser and bring the "amigan" word into it then so be it. But answer me this, in which sentance of my last post did i mention you ware not an amigan? or even imply it? Sounds like someone put up the defensive walls a little too early to me...

What is it that scares you so much when people mention that the two groups (a-os/m-os) should seperate? I still maintain it would be the best move for both parties... Im not here nor there on m-os, i dont support or deter it becuase it has nothing to do with me and i know nothing about it, but if the flame wars that continuously spring up over trivial details dont indicate to you that theres something wrong with the mixing of the fanatics then you need to open your eyes a little more...

@teotwin -- Please come see us in Sydney when we are there for CeBIT in May. We will buy you a Fosters and we can discuss anything you want. Fortunately, we will have the time between now and then (and the things that have or not happened) to consider. How about we call it a truce until then?

Yes, i heard thru the local grape vine that the peg would be there, and i fully intend on checking it out. In all honesty, i would far prefer the peg to a-one, based on the size of the board alone (i dont get stuck up on claimed features and pci slots etc) as im considering custom building a case but i want it to be small. Then all i would need is a-os running on it. Im not saying m-os is bad, its just not *my* target.

ps, fosters is the beer we export 'cause its not good enough for us ;-)

@kennyr, in reference to the communites splitting

I'm still not sure why anyone would want this, except maybe through jealously or hate (no offence to teotwin, but I don't understand his motivation - I politely invite him to explain it to me if he likes).

Sorry. i passed over your comment before. Indeed the explaination is rather simple, two words in fact "bitch fighting" thats all.

Indeed i believe that the members of each community should be closer in a perfect world, which would help both of them progress faster thru sharing of ideas, and learning from the advantages one may have over the other etc etc.

But instead when they come together they choose to sling mud and illogically slander the merits of the other??? You mentioned hate a few times in your message,  but its the ridiculous baseless debates that go on that are responsible for the hatred of the other side. Personally i have no hate or jealously toward m-os, i say with with 100% condfidence, infact m-os doesnt even rate on my care meter. So its not due to hatred or jealousy that i want them to split, its to create peace, dignity and respect for our entire community. If someone suggests a way to keep the groups together but put a complete and utter end to the bickering, then im all for it.
