Think of it as an expanded version of the Coffee House forums with a dash of slashdot built in.

How would it be different than the thousands of blog sites?

What would be the draw? (To keep people comming back}

What keeps it from degenerating into name calling? The discussions that take place here are "gentlemanly" compared to some political sites.

You all come back here to the coffee house don't you?  Most of you have nothing to do with the Amiga any more.

The same thing that keeps any site from degenerating into namecalling.

@whabang

The problem would be to keep discussions civil.
The reasons that they have done so here, is that the site is focused on Amiga. Our attitude towards each other is way better than it will ever be on a pure political forum.

I'm amazed that anyone would consider the Coffee House as civil.  Just remember that for the long start, only Amiga.org people would be there.

It IS amazingly civil here, plus I realise that no matter how misguided they currently may be, They STILL have at least ONE redeaming quality, except for maybe FluffyMcDeath, he's like the killer Chuckie doll!!! :lol:  

============================================================


In short, in order for Amiga.org to survive, a split is in order.  I know a lot of you won't agree with that, but remember that change is always hard to accept.

 Just link from Amiga.org to the new site. Still check Amiga news..., with that eternal faint hope..., no matter how illogical, or unreasonable..., that something....a chance... OK, 1/TEN Billionth of a chance...BUT A CHANCE Never the less!

I'll let you guys know what this new site is, as it becomes even mildly usable and stable.
