Personally I don't think the problem these days is anything to do with what you guys are talking about... nice insight there though Amiga Nut btw... LOL
But most if not all so called Amiga boards that exist today are basically so bastardised you don't know whos wearing what colours...
I'd just like Forums to sort there act out and decide what they want to identify with and that would be cool... ie English Amiga Board could rename itself English Emulation Board... Amigaworld, cpu world etc...
I just don't think the boards reflect the true nature of there members anymore and it shouldnt carry a specific Amiga tag... Now I'm sure some clever dick is waiting in the wind to demonstrate why this wouldn't work in the business world... hell, I could give some good examples myself...
but look at it from this point of view... you should be able to come to an Amiga Board and post very pro and optimistic posts as you like... people can jump onboard and feel good about there platform and there little world... without having to worry about some user spurting out some kind of realistic comparison... Everyone that uses an Amiga knows what it's capable of...
This is what SHOULD be moderated on a PRO Amiga Forum... instead, we have heaps of members who have outgrown the Amiga and are hell bent on pissing on the Amiga ideal time and time again...
Although in saying all this... I'm sure the way things are going, new forum boards will come and all these existing ones are going to be referred to as retro hippie or something... LOL
