Whatever Happened To The Real Amiga Community.

There can be a lot of negativity and flaming here, but personally I have received a lot of good help and advice here on getting back into the Amiga again.

I am not accusing anyone of flaming. I am saying that whilst has happened may be the case threads, my own experience of posing questions etc. has been met fairly positive and helpful replies.

The problem is that the Amiga platform is the only "retro" platform that hasn't (in terms of its users) fully come to terms with its death yet.  Some of us still believe... or if not believe then fantasise... that the Amiga could come back.  This is because there was so much potential for the Amiga brand, even after Commodore's death.  Unfortunately the potential was squandered.  But a lot of us are still waiting or dreaming of the Amiga's rise from the ashes.  We've had a lot of promises along the way that have kept the fire of hope going.
That's why there's a difference in attitude between other retro computing forums and ours .

I think people spend too much time arguing whether the Amiga is dead or not. IMHO if people still enjoy using it then that is justification enough for the Amiga community to continue. We should be working on improving the Amiga experience rather than reiterating tired debate.
