Your brother is right - we are a bunch of sad retards, but we are passionate sad retards.

There are few others who care enough about 25 year-old electronic equipment like the Amiga
community does.

I think there is similar conflicts and splits in other retro-communities. Just log on to a car forum and ask for advice on how to renovate an old car and you'll see. :D

One thing I can sympathize with is that there is a lot of off-topic crap going on outside the coffee house. As it is now, CH is only a pale shadow of it's former self, and there's all kinds of crazy stuff going on in the main forum.

We need to ban the bugger before he gets to the first page of the AO rankings! ;)

You should have been here in the old days, Franko. The political and religious flamewars were epic, and would put forums like Something awful to shame!

Wat? Happy pills? Back in 2004 we raged about rigged U.S. elections, bashed the socialist dictatorship in Europe, started religious flame-wars that made the second crusade look like a slight misunderstanding, AND WE DIDN'T NEED NO FRIGGIN' HAPPY PILLS! :madashell:

Edit: The forum is still there, just browse the archives. ;)

Latest Church Of Amiga Notice...

A Memorial service is to be held on Sunday the 18th Of December at 10:00 am in the Coffee House in remembrance of Kickstarts humour which suddenly & sadly passed away at 2:05am on Friday 17th of December 2010.

The A.org Wee Free Church Choir Gospel Singers will be singing a few jaunty little hymns such as 'O Praise the Org, For It Is good' & the evergreen 'O Lamb of Gawd, Who Tastes Divine' (especially with mint sauce).

A collection shall held in order to help fund the new rehabilitation wing that is to be added to the Coffee House in order to help those who have lost their sunny disposition. In honour of the dear departeds sense of humour the new forum is to be called "The Kickstart Home For The Terminally Bewildered", please give generously...

Tea & biccies will be served in the hall straight after, stronger stuff can be found in the usual place just behind the pew next to the vicars secret stash of holy wine. Multi coloured and spinning bow ties are optional.

In Memoriam ...

Kickstarts humour has faded away,
It's up for sale on Amibay,
You can place a bid if you dare,
but just remember it's only vaporwar
e...

Kickstarts Humour Aug 2006 to Dec 2010 R.I.P.
(gone but not forgotten...:))


Hahahahaahah! :lol:
