i still wonder about so much hassle to make these few applications and few links available in another form.
I can understand your preference to see the effort to create this new app store placed elsewhere, when there are so many areas our community needs new or updated software. But I think that this new app store is a valuable infrastructure building step, that will help some other developers, who do not wish to spend their own time marketing their software projects. They can now choose to offer their software for free, or put it up for sale at an attractive online store without needing to spend any of their valuable coding time messing around with their own online sales site, so it should provide them with more time to work on future projects.
I take this new Online App Store as a positive step forward, but I am usually the kind of person who looks for the positive side of everything, and not dwell on the negative aspects, although I do recognize the pros and cons of everything I evaluate as realistically as I can. I don't consider myself a fanboy who sees all news in our community through rose colored glasses, and I don't agree with all decisions being made automatically.
Edit: As for the Off Topic complaints about moderation or approval/rejection of news items submitted to Amiga.org, the following Posting Guideline "Cardinal Rules" apply:
Members will not publicly question a moderator's decision.
All moderation concerns should be addressed in a private manner, either by private messaging or emailing the moderator in question.
Censorship, or unfair practices used in the approval or rejection of any news items is a very serious accusation that I would like to clear up, or stop from happening in the future, so please contact myself or one of the other moderators with the specific details of your complaints, so any misunderstanding, or misconduct can be addressed and corrected as soon as possible. I am not aware of any such behavior by any staff member of this site and doubt very much that these accusations are true, but I am willing to review any evidence you have, to resolve this issue.
