i don't think he gets it: no one gives a flying [redacted].

No, what a lot of people don't get is that some people actually do find it interesting and it's on topic in this subsection. I find it it interesting and actually come to this site from time to time just to see the announcements because commodore-amiga.org is a pain to navigate.

It would be nice if some folks would stop shitting all over threads about things they obviously don't care for.

It would be nice if some folks would stop flooding an Amiga forum with dozens of threads about something that's not even Amiga-related and acting like the mere existence of a product is proof that it's the Holy Designated Successor to the legacy of the computer it's dressed as.

Have you read the description of this sub-forum?
" Amiga.org » The "Not Quite Amiga but still computer related category" » Alternative Operating Systems »"

"Alternative Operating Systems This forum is dedicated to discussions of alternatives to the Commodore Amiga Platform, such as Linux distributions, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and others."

Yes, and I'm good with that. However, for one thing, a whole lot of these threads have been placed in "Amiga General Chat" or "Amiga News and Community Announcements," because the CUSA zealots want everybody to accept that this is the True Future of Commodore, and were only moved to an appropriate forum when people started asking what the hell they were doing there.

And furthermore, the sheer number of them is just ridiculous. dammy posts new threads every time Barry Altman so much as farts, and other people (like starter of this topic and obvious shill chlamb, who joined one day before posting this and has no other posts than the two in this thread,) have further flooded the forum with this crap.

(I'm not saying that that's a violation of the rules or should be banned, but it is pretty fucking obnoxious.)

Dammy has created a dozen threads since March-2009 and not all of those had anything to do with CUSA. I visit this place every single day and I just don't see this picture of psychotic CUSA fans shoveling their stuff in everybody's face. You are obsessed with this subject. You are seeing things lurking in the shadows that are not there. It would probably do you some good to step away from it for a while.

I'm sorry, I missed the part where I said that dammy only posts CUSA threads. Oh wait, that was because I never said that.

You're missing the point. You've been claiming the guy is spamming the board with CUSA threads constantly. A dozen threads since March-2009, not all of which had anything to do with CUSA doesn't match your assertion.

Ah, the armchair-psychologist tactic. That's a classic. I could try for that, like suggesting that you're willfully blinding yourself to the faults of CUSA and their followers because you're emotionally invested in their success and unwilling to admit that they might be just another fly-by-night operation doing small-scale brand exploitation and acting like douchebags, for instance.

But really, where would that get us? I'd rather talk about open, observable behavior, like their being just another fly-by-night operation doing small-scale brand exploitation and acting like douchebags. That's much less passive-aggressive.

Pointing out that you are obsessed with CUSA isn't armchair psychology, it's an obvious observation. Grow up kid. Just imagine all the cool stuff you could be accomplishing if you put all that energy into some code.

Okay, let me put it this way: dammy's last non-CUSA thread was this one, in February. Since then, he's had eight threads, seven of which are simply makeshift press releases for the company linking announcements of theirs, and one which was actually split from a thread about classic vs. NG/PPC Amigas, which he tried to derail into a shill for CUSA's announced line of PC boards in vaguely Amiga-like cases. The guy has basically become some kind of volunteer press secretary for them.

Ooh, and now the "I suggest for you to grow up, as you are a child and I am the wise adult" tactic, coupled with the related "what are you doing with your life, sir" tactic. Charming! But I must ask, what are you doing here?

Again, your assertions regarding dammy and the supposed CUSA spamming and shilling and whatever are made of lame and failure, and you continue to spastically foam at the mouth about it. You are obsessed. What am I doing here? I'm informing you that you are obsessed and you are in fact one of the people who is most responsible for CUSA related threads getting bumped to the top of the recently responded to list on the main page. The problem isn't dammy, it's not a hand full of people who have a vague interest in the goings on at Commodore USA, it's you.
