I'm sorry to hear this as I am part of the reason for the recent insanity. I do love however that the real cause of the degredation of aorg acts like he is innocent and cares with smilies and all how lame. You see my join time? 2002? You see this joker and some of his pals? 09 ? 10?

@ Transition

I sincerely hope there is a MAJOR change and you stomp on OT thread posts, Thread Hijacks and general clowning useless posts..

The only time i'll go out of line is when one of these guys threatens me physically which has happened twice now, i cannot lay down for that. I'm sorry.

At this point in time, it doesn't matter who is right, who is wrong, who started it, who wrote threats and who did not.  

You are starting to hurt your own reputation by continuing to write anything about the recent events, as it just prolongs the ending of the conflict.

I know from my own experience, as I have been sucked into shouting matches with others on forums in the past, this is a NO WIN situation for any of you and everybody else is paying the price, having to put up with all of it.

Time to stop and turn the computer off for a few hours.

Edit:  @KThunder,  Sorry to see anyone leave, even those I don't know or agree with, and I dislike the whole idea of announcing a departure.  It seems very child like, just as much as the rest of the nonsense happening here.  I private note to the moderators or the webmaster is much more appropriate and probably just as effective.  Most people who leave, eventually come back, so I hope that you too will return, or at least lurk in the background.

Any news that is Amiga related is welcome here. Amiga.org has grown since 2009. If I were you I would avoid posting info on a site that starts with an M. We would never let Amiga.org get to the sorry state and spam infested loon town that the M site has become. Also on Amiga.org its easy to avoid members posts you don't like. Add to ignore list, rinse lather repeat. Remember less than five have been reported as starting problems.

Also remember that most people here would rather reduce or eliminate their own posting to the forums, not visit as often, or just plain leave, than to report other users to the moderators or administration here.  It is just not in their nature to report other members, or complain to the people responsible for keeping this site going.

I hope that the current owner(s) of A.org will do what ever it takes to return this site to what it once was, the best Amiga news and forum site on the planet.  I have been here a very long time.  Several years before the join date that is shown for my profile, due to my account being accidentally deleted during a site upgrade years ago and I lurked here before becoming a member, so I have seen the changes over the years and must say that the direction A.org is going at the moment is not the direction that will allow it to survive indefinitely.  It is more like the road to some hot unpleasant place.

Please do something to improve the experience here before we lose too many more members.

@kesa,

I don't think a lot of people here would like the way I would moderate and it would be a very short appointment to that position before I was booted out by popular vote.

Thanks for the thought though, but just being here for a long time does not qualify anyone to be a moderator.  It takes someone that doesn't get their feathers ruffled as easily as I do.

There were a lot of interesting (and fun) folk that have either moved on over the years or gone into dormancy. In no particular order, Wilse, T_Bone, FluffyMcDeath, VincentAC, Kees, Glaucus, mips_proc (aka meerschaum), Blobrana, PMC, KennyR, Quixote, uncharted, lorddef, xeron, vortexau, seehund, Turambar, dezignersrepublic and many more besides

Many long missed members here.

[amigadave]

I miss them.
Blobrana can be found on her http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=58381&p=1

Astronomy board

and FluffyMcDeath posts like mad on wazzat http://www.whyzzat.com/

but there are others who have just disappeared

Thanks for those links.

They probably won't remember me, but I certainly remember them.  I was more of a lurker when they were here and still actively posting in the forums.
