Another community split, how great. Haven't they learned anything from the past? :roll:

In 3 years, we'll probably have more Amiga community portals than users.  :lol:

Is this a site only targeting a few hundred Teron based AmigaOne users? That seems to be a fairly narrow focus doesn’t it?


Just had a look. The main target group seem to be A1 users and some uhh... weird religious folks (not saying that both groups can't have something in common).

Glad to see that Billsey has found a new home there.  :lol:

I don't want to sound like a dumbass or anything, but isn't that Amigaworld.net??


No, Amigaworld has changed a lot after some rather intolerant moderators left there. It is much more balanced now and the moderators are IMHO doing a great job.

Amiga.org is for all the "normal" people, who'd just like to see *ONE* of these companies get it right for a change, not caring which one it is???


Lol, good that you put "normal" in quotes. ;-)
But I agree entirey. I don't care who get's it right. Unfortunately it more looks as if both get/got it wrong. :-(

It's the OS4 answer to MorphZone...


Answer? As if it's purpose is some kind of counter-balance to MZ? Get over that blue vs. red thing already! It serves no purpose, just further dimishes our already tiny small community. What we need is to _at least try_ to join efforts rather than split up and move into different directions. A common portal is one thing. Common developer projects another. And if this portal is an answer to MZ, then it is a laughable effort in a situation with no final OS, no hardware, no licenses and whatnot.

AmigaWorld has been lately filled up with pointless flamewars about different OS and CPU varietes - it's kind of like a war-zone version of amiga.org now.


The site has been rather calm for some time, moderation was efficient and balanced (after Mikey_C left). Then all of sudden hell broke loose when the Morphos on Efika news was announced.
Some OS4-trolls screamed that there was too much promotion for Genesi-products although the proportion of MOS-related news and threads was tiny. Talking about tolerance. You go figure. :roll:

Quote
amigans.net is intended to be a peaceful place to largely serve the OS4 community (there aren't many of us yet, but that will change), without the pointless bickering.


So you are just repeating what AW.net did back the day when moderation tolerated only certain company-endorsed opinions? Why would that work out today in a situation that looks even more dim for OS4? Pure idiocy of repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Good luck at that.

Quote
But, it isn't really the right place for OS4 support as you do get the odd OS4-hater cutting in.


The main problem that you guys have is paranoia. You even see people whining about OS4-release and people hypothetically discussing things like OS4 on x86 as "OS4 haters".

You make it appear as if there was never any moderation at Amigaworld. There was moderation and it was pretty good during the last months. The problem you guys have is zero tolerance for other opinions. Rather boring if you ask me.
Wasn't it called a discussion forum originally?

Note that I posted this article there as well but it didn't get approved - go figure.


Doesn't surprise me at all after all the badmouthing certain people from "teh true Amigans" have done at Amigaworld before they left (and are still doing!). You guys never learn. Just fanning the flames, separating, instead of finding compromises and looking at things all have in common.

While I am open two both MOS and OS4, the recent events have made the "official" solution and its further split up community (what is left from it) much more unappealing to me. So Un-Amigan.

Amigaworld is actually more blue than amiga.org these days.
There is alot of genesi news posted on the frontpage there these days.

Check the facts instead of making up things.

Talking about tolerance...why can't some guys ignore the 1-2% of Genesi news? Does anybody force them to read them?

Probably since Mikey C said AWN is GenesiWorld.net.


And accused the site owners of being bribed by bbrv.  :lol: He should make sure to check the above "Amiga persecution complex" link.  :-D

What has that to do with what i said?


See the part that I quoted, it's really that simple.
There isn't "alot of genesi news posted on the frontpage". Or does 1-2% really amount to "a lot"?

I am more of a OS4 person, but the new efika has definitely made me interested. If MorphOS is bundled with it soon, then i might seriously considering getting one.


If you intend to register on that site, be careful not to mention that and don't put "Efika" in your signature. Mikey will think that you want to infiltrate the site and might ban you.  :inquisitive:

Agreed much depends on the moderators but it's nice to find a site where OS4 is 98% of whats discussed.


Hmm, let me see:

OS4-related: 531 posts
Classic/Emulation-related: 323 posts
Site-related/Other stuff: 771 posts

So OS4 is roughly about 33% of what's being discussed.  :-D

I've totally missed that part of the conversation. Where is that spelled out? If it's true, I definitly don't agree with their intentions.


And not to forget, it even got spelled out by one of the "Amigan defenders" and co-founders of the website himself, Mikey_C. He slagged off other websites and even got moderated for that on Amigans (!). :lol:
Before, he did everything to badmouth AW.net, accusing their webmaster for being  bribed by bbrv and other hilarious stuff.
