What is the purpose of amiga.org?

[number6]

The name says it all.  Amiga as in CBM Amiga.  Org as in organization.

All others including C64 and Linux-based computers go in the "other OS" forum.

Actually I think he's referring to either a "Mission Statement" or "Statement of Intent", which this site does have.

"... serving the Amiga community"

So who are these people whom "we" are serving? Some of them use OSs that others hate. Some of them want to buy hardware others hate. Some of them just wan´t to have a laugh with or at the expense of others. Some just want to sell their stuff, or get repair tipps.

That´s what I observed. I initially thought it was to brag about your cool Amiga and to show off your skills. But this doesn´t seem to be on anyones agenda.

Interestingly enough, if you defend one of the unique features of the classic AmigaOS, there is always somebody to shout you down, claiming that it is not "modern" enough. No matter if it´s Workbench, memory protection, GadTools, Commodities, OCS, shell commands or the icons and window decorations. Somebody always seems to hate something about what we should have as a common ground.

Just adding this to your statement about serving the community, in case anyone wants to review the older mission statements. Oddly, they arose in times of turmoil.
