Sorry to play net nazi on this one here, but I just felt like I had to step in and delete 4 posts here which clearly violated the rules about insults and abuse.

Don't take it personal, and I'm SO sorry that it's *me* that stepped in, but I figure that Karlos has to sleep sometime and it couldn't wait.  The real mods here are absolutely free to override my deletion.  It's entirely up to them.

Please breathe deeply, exhale, and don't get started down the wrong path here.  We're having such fun and I hate to spoil it.

Wayne would've taken pride in his site. DiscreetFX clearly don't.
I can't say that that is, or isn't the case really.  I do know that if the new owner(s) actually made any change whatsoever, you guys would truly call for a lynching..

the thing that bothers me is this:
http://www.amiga.org/forums/web/statusicon/forum_old.gif

its generic, unimaginative, boring.. so I always use 'home' instead of 'forums' and miss some good threads
Honestly?  If that's your biggest problem in life, we have really got to find you a girl mate...   :)

That being said, I've got a solution.

It's not my place to make changes to this site any more, but I've offered two sets of replacement icons to the owners for their consideration.

As for hitting home instead of forums, that's just the way it works.  Home isn't the same as "forums" as this isn't just a "forums" site (or at least it tries not to be).  Is it the best way to do it?  Nope, but that's what you get when you take any forum software and try to make it into a full blown CMS.

Hopefully you'll like the new icons if they get posted, but being Christmas Eve, everyone's on holiday, so it may be Monday or so.

Like I said, I technically *could* change them, but it's not my place, or my site to do so any more, which is fine by me.

John will kill all the messages (or not) if he gets bored with Thierry Predavec/foody/atheist/athiest2 's bullshit.
I can't speak for John, but honestly that crap's been going on for at least 6-8 months.  

I don't see John being interested enough to care any more, the bunny seemingly being relegated to just "being", like most Amiga sites are these days.  It's a shame too, because outside of being the refuge for smegheads, there was actually good, intelligent conversation going on over there at one point.

@Wayne

What's CMS stand for ???
Traditionally speaking, when talking about Web sites (there are many meanings for that acronym), it stands for "Content Management System".
