This thread seems to reveal the overall problem of the Amiga "community" these days.
It's sad. Seems like nobody's looking at the big picture; in the eyes of the big public
we're basically a dead and buried platform and this sort of boyclub vs boyclub
warmongering and sensationalism doesn't do any good for any of us.
Amiga was part of the big public & mainstream and we're the last ones left of the huge
userbase the Amiga once had. If Amiga is to completely vanish from existence, is this
what we want to be remembered of as a community? Does a community with this kind
of capability of internal self-hate and flaming be able to function as a community at all?
These are the questions I ask myself when, after hours of having fun and enjoying
of using one of my Amigas I turn to read Amibay and Amiga.org and find this thread.
Was it like this back in the day? BBS vs BBS? I honestly don't remember, although
as an ex-sysop I tried to co-operate with other BBS systems as thoroughly as
possible since power comes from numbers not individuals.
I approve Amibay and it's rules and philosophy of existence. I also approve Amiga.org,
although I haven't been here often since I found Amibay.
The needs of the many outweight the needs of the few. If we are but a few
smaller communities within an Amiga "community" there will never be many of us.
My 0.05 cents of worth and purely offtopic as what comes to a WTB-thread.
Sincere apologies.
