Hey mate,

Welcome!  You don't need our permission to hang out here.  It's nice here, I took a break from the Amiga for most of the year (after a bit of a bust up on AW), and I've enjoyed coming back to this site.  It's a bit more chilled out here than anywhere else.

I always figured (from seeing you at the BB shows) that you had a good relationship with the AW staff.

uncharted! good gubbins, you're still around?? :) is married life too hectic for you to continue our little reaction IRC client? :)


I've only come back into the scene recently.  I just don't think I could keep up with you rock n roll programmer lifestyle, what with all those award cerimonies and interviews (and possibly hot chicks beating at your door, I don't think Mrs Unch would appreciate that):lol:

I'm too swamped with Uni work to even look at a computer for any other reason.  Funnily enough, one of my assignments is writing a chat system, got a strange sense of deja vu ;-)

I'd say there was at least £1.77 worth in that one :-)

I'm not sure this "I'm a victim!", "Goodbye everybody!" or "The end of the world is nigh!" posts are any point though. A website owner will eventually notice if users don't like his webite, and other users are perfectly able to make up their own opinions.

On the other hand, it's probably an effective way to, again, get attention and inform others of what you feel is unfair. No offense here Paul, I've just seen too many "That's it I'm leaving!" posts on most Amiga sites, and some weeks later it turns out the person is back ;)


Leaving AW and the Amiga Scene when I did was the best thing I have done (as far as Amiga stuff goes).  I was wasting far too much time arguing with people with closed minds, and getting wound up by people's behaviour.  In all honesty I just wasn't really enjoying it.

So why am I back here now?  Simple, I'm enjoying my Amiga hobby again (not that I get much chance with all the work I've got on).  It took a break from the forums to achieve that.

Do I have anything against AW? Nope, in fact I thanked DavayD for my stay when I requested my account be deleted.

Would I ever go back?  Nope.  While I read it and get some good info from there, the discussions there don't interest me anymore. My focus now is on my hobby, not in thrashing it out with people.
