CommodoreUSA Partners with Disney

[Karlos]

We have an adjustment coming up and depending on what COS turns out to be, might be easier to accept or more difficult, time will tell.

Well, if it is what it was hinted to be, I already run linux and am happy enough with the distro I'm using

[Karlos]

...Theres no visible affection for anything or respect for anyone in the existing community and even a sense of glee from some that they are going to upset as many people as possible.

That's pretty harsh considering C=USA hasn't talked much about the Commodore Amiga series.  Why not wait until you hear the facts before you condemn them?

Maybe she means you: http://moobunny.dreamhosters.com/cgi/mbthread.pl/amiga/expand/188813

Of course, being moobunny, that could be anybody...

FFS guys, a bit less personal, if you please.

[Karlos]

Franko, give Red a break.

He's not some CUSA lackey, he's a decent bloke that's moderated this place since before I was even a member.

The facts are that he just went to see what CUSA was about in person and reported his findings as objectively as possible. What he saw changed his stance from an initially negative one to a comparatively neutral one. People are allowed to do that. He may look "pro CUSA", but only because he stands out against the general tide of negativity here. Of which I can't deny being a part myself (whilst trying to be objective, I'm no fan of what I've seen to date of CUSA. Bad first impressions last)

[Karlos]

He can't even put up a photo.

After so many years of using a totally out-of-date xoops installation for the site, the subtle differences in the interpretation of bbcode after a shift to vbulletin might throw you too. Especially after a few months away.

[Karlos]

Hmm... is this all the new CUSA fanboys trying to register here about 15 minutes ago or has Barry recruited more mindless minions to spam the site with...

I should point out that I get to see a bit more information in that list when I view it and I'm not entirely convinced all those signing up are even people. As with almost any popular forum using an off-the-shelf package, attempted spambot registrations are an ongoing pest.

@Franko

Any fool can pretend to be any other fool on moobunny. That's part of the fun of the place - hell, I have to post via a static IP there just so people can tell me apart from the "itching bastard" version that was floating around for a while previously.

As for comments like "there's going to be a shitstorm...", in what sense was 'r' wrong? Just this one announcement has generated a lot of friction already.

[Karlos]

Anyway, this thread is getting rather off-topic and personal. Not to mention annoyingly sticky. Let's consider that a hint to stick to the topic, shall we? (without all this tangential bickering, it would have already fallen from the front page by now).

[Karlos]

First off, don't know where you got those words from but I never used them... :confused:

It was a comment on moobunny that may, or may not have been Red, that I cited in response to your remarks about him covering his tracks badly. Not like there's much to cover, since the remark was basically spot on - people are indeed reacting predictably badly.

As for MooBunny, I know that place is full of BS it's not the crap on there I'm going by it's emails I've been sent directly and I just need to dig a wee bit further to see if they are genuine & valid or not...

Let me get this entirely straight. You're admitting here that you've gone ahead made various less than savoury remarks about another member on the basis of something you've yet to confirm the validity of?

[Karlos]

LOL, it's almost like 2003 again...

[Karlos]

@all

Well, I'm off to bed. Try not to torch the place in the meantime.

[Karlos]

Nope... some of it has been verified (as best as anyone can when it come to verifying such things on the net) the rest just need to be verified or dismissed as a hoax.

In other (semantically correct) words, not verified.

PS:what's with the crap here that it's taking two mods and an admin to tackle poor wee me hasn't Red got the bottle to do it on his own...

Actually, I'm just taking a stance against the personal insult-fest this thread is fast becoming. Red can stick up for himself, though he should know better than to fall for goading.

There really is no need to get this bloody personal about it all.

My advice to both of you - go away and do whatever it is you do to relax.

Oh, and screw you guys, I'm going... to bed

Why dont you guys ban this tosser for a while and give us all some piece of mind.. better yet for LIFE. You will do us and him a favour.. him because it will force him to get a REAL LIFE.

You should read my last few posts. What part of "personal insult" isn't clear? You don't want to be joining in.
