Whatever Happened To The Real Amiga Community.

Drbilly100 was very knowledgable for a random person... Sounds like someone who was burned by the Amiga wars of 2003...

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.

Coffee House doesn't show up on main page anymore so it no longer serves us hot topics. Any forum that doesn't show on the main page is basically dead to the causal visitor.

Mor often than not I'll quickly check the front page on my iPhone between meetings and see if anything grabs my fancy.

Idea!

Let's ban all the moderators and site owners until such time as they learn to behave with the church-like demeanor DEMANDED by such a life-or-deathly subject as our own personal Jesus.  The one, the only, the omnipotent, ever-conquering, be-all, end-all, mil-spec Commodore Amiga computer.

Yeah, that'll fix everything.

Like I would let that reference pass!!!! :-p

I would like to point out that none of the original 80's platforms (Amiga, Mac, Atari, Archimedies, Winows etc) survived.

Most died slow protracted deaths... Windows was replaced with Win95 and later WinNT... Mac was replaced with NextStep. It was only clever marketing that maintained the illusion of continuity with these platforms.

Harsh guys! There's nothing wrong with either cross dressing or being gay!

Not sure I follow... who said there was? :confused:

Very quick to jump on the defensive there Matt. Summat you're not telling us? :lol:

If you ever came to one of our gigs you'd see my shameless attention seeking stagewear

Some of the previous posts were a bit unnecessarily derogatory

Well, keyboardists always get a rum deal on stage...

I can still feel the awkward silence between my girlfriend and I as we sat on the sofa watching that episode

"he's in a band... He plays keyboards..." welcome the to unsexiest profession in the music industry, even the reality challenged roadie who cleans the vomit out of the tom-tom carry cases after the gig gets more respect!

Either forced to stand behind a their instruments, or worse yet (and thankfully this died the death it deserved) get a keytar and look really ridiculous.

If I'm really honest, I liked to have my bank of synths and computers in front of me

So I decided I needed to play guitar too :lol:

Yeah I tried it... But couldn't find the "play" button [shrug]...

[/paraphrasing Matt on moobunny]
Come to Manchester there are some really horrible homos.
[/paraphrasing]

I don't doubt it, my point would be that it isn't being homosexual that makes them horrible... People are people, regardless of colour and creed, and nothing is going to change that.

I gave up with moo, its unstructured approach while inviting dynamic debate, is ultimately it's downfall, as it become difficult to get one's point across without causing confusion. I'm pretty fed up with circular debates now, I'm inclined to just say, "think whatever you want to think, just let me do the same"
