A-EON Technology Acquires Amiga.org

[itix]

It looks like Mr. Goodyear was right.

Uhm, when has Trevor ever been in any way hostile to MOS, AROS, Pegasos, Minimig, FPGA Arcade, or anything else out there? Doesn't he have one of everything, and enjoy them all?

Certain moderators are hostile. Luckily some of them are not moderators here anymore but with moderators this site rises or keeps going on its death spiral.

For now it is not looking good.

A post edited misteriusly, moderators away just with "easy-speak" threads about something closer to non sense and hundreds of fans of a "company" selling overpriced things using the amiga name...

Maybe it is time to abandon this site for good.

morphzone looks like a good place to stay and if in concern of amiga there is still lots cool stuff going on on eab, in fact currently much more than here or on aw.net. its another safe place amongst others. so i dont think that it would hurt anyone even if amiga.org went down.

Something is missing. A site for Amiga users who favor AmigaOS 3 with RTG. EAB is very Kickstart 1.3 oriented although there are topics for power users.

@itix

My A1200 has a Radeon 9250 and 3.9.  I find here the best forum to talk about RTG and similar upgrades.

Perhaps because you are owner of this site? ;-)

The problem whit utilitybase and amigacoding is that developers go there to ask questions, once they know the answers there is no point going there.

UtilityBase used to be good forum until owners gave up and abandonded it. I wish AmigaCoding.de had more traffic but new Amiga developments have declined in last years.

Some of the comments would be relevant if this was a discussion about the X1000 or discussing OS4 or discussing PPC future, it wasn't about any of these subject and the comments posted were off completely topic.  So why were these topics posted in this thread?

I disagree: there were subjective comments that could cause offence or inflame the thread.

Why did usual suspects post tinfoil hats to this thread? If you cant keep your moderators in line they ruin your business. Moderators on this site are now your moderators.

I dont have problem you and a-eon owning this site but you put yourself to tricky position where you have to try to please both OS4 users and non-OS4 users.

Remember: The customer is always right.

[itix]

Why do you think most OS4 users prefers to hang out on AW.net and Amigans instead of hanging out here on Amiga.org?

Yes, it's because of those "aggressive and inflammatory views" from a  small minority of users just expressing their "freedom of speech",  that's why :-)

Or perhaps certain hostile Amiga users from AWN and Amigans suddenly start posting here, insulting users.

@itix

if you encounter any insults or hostile actions, report it for a Moderator to review- thanks.

I have already reported moderator to Trevor.

Thanks.

But as I wrote earlier you are going to have great issue running this site in peace. Hyperion supporters want the site to go pro-OS4 and are acting like that. Hyperion supporters want you to sell more OS4 hardware to amiga.org users. This includes certain activist moderators who want you to succeed with OS4.

What users want here is clean separation with NG and non-NG stuff and accept the fact that hardcore Amigans are trashing NG Amiga (OS4, MorphOS, AROS).

Hope the mods are more up to the task than they used to be.  I recall getting a vague, but fairly direct - threat of personal injury via PM towards myself by the C-USA camp when I had the audacity to question some of their practices.

Reported that and never heard back from a moderator.

I have heard rumours they were fake accounts created by previous site owner.
