But it is not a comunity site, it's a site to cover Ryu's views, and that's fine, it's good to have this. Go to his site and enjoy it, as I have done.


I'm sorry but I really resent that.  It is a community site, okay it might only be aimed at a subset, but then Amiga.org caters to the whole community as does ANN.  The site was only ever conceived because there is a need for it.  Sure, you personally might not need, there might be a 1000 or so peg users that'll never need nor care about it, but the need is there all the same.

There is no policital agenda involved, Ryu is not an employee of any of the Amiga related companies, he isn't affliated with Hyperion or Eyetech.  The site is  a pure information site (part of it's value is to provide un-bias information about those systems).

Here's a quick question for you. Had you been chosen for Moderator, would you of given up being a key member of AROS?

I'm not a Moderator, possibly for that very reason. I do own an AROS site, not used much anymore, but I do plan to keep it alive, as it always has a workign verison of AROS on it.

When A.org was looking for moderators, I said I would be happy to moderate the AROS section, but I didn't think it was right for me to modererate the rest or the site due to the fact I DO OWN AN AROS SITE.



Actually I think it would have been worse for you to have only moderated the AROS section (what if someone slagged off AROS bigtime?).  But then again I know from your forum posts, and personal email, that you're a good bloke (although maybe a little obsessive ;-)), and I personally wouldn't of objected to you being a moderator (Full or just AROS).  I'm just trying to follow your line of thinking here.
