No one going to bother calling them out on the fact they claimed those pics to be of actual C-USA products, lol?

Someone at the company had to OK it before he was permitted to post them, no?  Wouldn't a person at C-USA look a little closer at the pics to verify that they were indeed your own product rather than 2+ year old photos from another website?

Still puzzles me why A.org doesn't simply tell parties like this to pay for banner ads if they wish to cram their wares down our necks.  But instead they can tell tales, insult the users here, and make grand promises that garners them attention for free.  They are worse than Fox News for righteous, intolerant self promotion.   I hope everyone that has ever put cash into the kitty here resents the fact you've donated your hard earned money to allow the site to operate as free advertising for a company that treats the community with complete disdain.

PS:  "Sock Draw" thread move is cheap, I would have had more respect if  the thread was just deleted, and I'm sure I am not the only one.

If you can honestly compare the self promo Hyperion has done to what C-USA has done, we're living on different planes of existence.

I've never seen any news items from Hyperion, AROS, Morph, etc. - contain insults, threats, and lies - and nowhere near the frequency of these guys.  At least the Hyperion stuff is Amiga related, no?

While stuff from Hyperion, or anyone else - may not be of any interest to some, comparing them to the C-USA debacle is insane.  C-USA has essentially flown a plane over A.org, dropping propaganda that is often been shown to be questionable, and if you ask questions in a polite fashion you get berated and insulted.  Not to mention the fact that the spam is (currently) not even Amiga related from them.

I was merely trying to illustrate the fact that if a company is using A.org as their personal ad campaign headquarters, they should be paying for it - and that should apply to everyone.
