Now many of you might be willing to use a half-dead site with no updated content. But assuredly many will not. It only adds to the perception of the Amiga as a "dead" platform if there is nowhere to release new software.
Aminet is experiencing hiccups, but no way is it dead. They've revamped the search engine and made it more powerful, they've added architecture fields to search for other amiga-like OS's, they've given it a facelift, they've worked hard on bringing back ADT for FTP users.... listen to the guys reasons earlier in this thread. Half the fricken people responsible for the site were on holiday over January, and his own machine was b0rked for a short while. They're committed to the project. If you want, make your own file repository, but it will only be a knee jerk reaction to a problem that doesnt even exist.
If there is nowhere for new releases, coders will not bother writing new software. If the flow of new software and updates dries up, the platform will be abandoned. It's quite simple really.
Speak for yourself buddy. I'm a coder, and theres always at least some method of distributing my software. aminet isnt the only option.
