I have nothing against them, merely in the mindset I experienced there. But years ago when I was getting back into the hobby, I signed up on Amibay to try and procure some legacy hardware. Was fine with the rules, or I wouldn't have signed up fully.
I found the community to be dicks, quite frankly. I'd been out of the hobby since the 1990's, and I had the audacity to ask a question (an extremely well written and polite one) in one thread and got berated privately to the point where it was at "go away n00b, we dun want you!" levels.
Went to eBay, found a PPC/040 powered A1200 for $300. Been back to Amibay once since and see no change in the elitist bull**** attitudes some people there had when I was first there 5 years ago.
Not much on the "Old Boys Clubs" that treat newcomers like ****, and I got that feeling from Amibay and I am not alone.
