Maybe I should show some there dubious post to ceop.

I had no problem signing up and posting on the Natami forums.  Why not tell the truth and tell us that you were banned from the Natami forums because of your bad behavior and that is why you are getting the message above when you try to sign up there again?

It is clear that you use almost every thread you post in to bash the Natami site and team, no matter what the thread is about.

You must be really disappointed that the poll you started to ask which FPGA project people like the best started getting the most votes for the Natami project.

The fact is that he was not banned for misbehaving, he was banned/account disabled because he started like three threads about how he demanded to get his account removed.  Thus we used the disable account/ban function, since completely removing accounts requires direct SQL database modification.
And now, when his account is disabled, he complains about that instead.
And, of course, continues to start threads everywhere trying to discredit the Natami project.
That's about it.

Yes, I read all the nonsense he wrote on the Natami forums and all the bashing he has been doing on every Amiga related forum site he can find.  He is really obsessed with trying to discredit the Natami project and team.

Some people really need to "Get a Life"!

Having read this thread and some others, you do come out as a little "hating" at times
BTW: Get a Replay board if you can. They simply rule, and Mike's feedback to users is more than one can ask for when talking directly to the developer.

Thumbs up to Mike and Yaqube!!!!

I have to agree with your comment about MikeJ, he has been the most open and informative developer/hardware designer to ever be connected to any Amiga project.  No games, no withholding information about his plans or timelines, or what he is working on this week.  I would have to vote MikeJ the most valuable Amiga developer/hardware designer in our community, due to his high standards of quality in both his product and his actions.  I can't say enough good things about him, and would be glad to meet his some time, shake his hand and buy him a drink.

I also cannot wait until I get my own FPGAArcade Replay board and Yaqube's 060 daughter card too.  I already have an 060/50MHz here waiting to be installed in the daughter card.  I just hope some really nice cases can be found (or made) to put it into.  Would like to see pictures of your case espskog.

I think the most open is Dennis. Progress reports and open source release. He made the hw, the sw despite a horde of people saying it's impossible..

Yes, I agree that Dennis is as open, or more so than MikeJ, but IIRC, he did not announce the MiniMig until it was almost finished (a smart thing considering all the people that torched him and said it couldn't be done).

MikeJ, on the other hand, has been more open and provided more updates to information about his project from start to finish.  He is not releasing his product as Open Source, so naturally needs to keep certain information private, to keep someone else from stealing his design and making it into a product before he has a chance to produce and sell his boards.

From his comments and tone, I would guess that if MikeJ ever tires of this project and moves on to something else, there is a good chance that he will release it to the community, if he no longer wishes to pursue a commercial path with the product.
