Why not buy Amiga Inc.. divide it into shares... I can just see myself owning part of Amiga

Finally the Amiga community would have their say

Why not buy Amiga.org instead? And all those people behind it give a clear sign that if things are going out of hand, they will be taken cared without fear...

Wayne could keep with his site as always trough golden shares like Google Co-Founders Larry Page, Sergey Brin does.

If Amiga.org belongs to it's users perhaps things would be seen differently.

@guru-666:

have you ever stoped to consider that some thigns are not for sale? Amiga inc is not for sale nore is amiga.org....

I'm yet to know how exactly you understood that I was talking on buying Amiga Inc. :roll: What I was talking about was setting a way whereas Amiga Inc to sue Amiga.org would have to sue all those thousands users who use, that was what I talked about, it could be symbolic, and the site still be run by Wayne Hunt as always.

you can;t just buy anything, even less so then you don't have any money and just assume everybody else would fund your crazy idea.

Please read what I said and think if it makes sense what you say. By (collectively) buying Amiga.org, how do you do it? Trough shares, which prices the shares are? It all depends on those who are selling and those who buy. It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of community altogether securing what 'is' theirs.. that's how things actually work, you wouldn't need petitions with dubious results, Amiga Inc to sue would rather have thousands of people to go after rather then one... I think its case would weaken a lot.

I'm not talking of selling the amiga.org domain, not per se anyway, the status quo would remain unchanged, the 'one person absolute with a final say' would still be up in your hands, until you at least find someone to sell your golden shares.

As such, the commercial value of amiga.org users would be at most symbolic, and the real one would still remain in your hands (It might be seen as a shell but on reverse :-)).

This shareholder arrangement would have only use to dilute Amiga Inc position against it, our shares would be of no great value namely when  in the end only you would have the final call.

there would be no point to buying amiga.org.  We could simply open another site, also there are others.  It such a small group anyway and the domain is not worth anywhere near what wyane wants for it.

Are you hearing voices in your head? :-P

I'm not talking in buying amiga.org in the way you present it.. And why would the community, being org (non profit organization) should have to leave in the first place?

I meant: The value of Amiga.org would remain in Wayne hands, the hassle of going after amiga.org would be distributed over its users...
