Thanks for the link: amiga news dot de, I never saw it, till now.
That had been obvious. ;-) I hope you don't resent me for the previous comment, but given that Christoph indeed has been putting his money (and way more time) into an own website, the suggestion was just too funny to resist, sorry.
What about it?
As you've read meanwhile, Christoph is the only moderator left at Aminet (thank you, number6, for the impressive link) and co-owner of
amiga-news.de.
amiga-news.de used to be the most-visited amiga news-site once, according to Christian Kemp (ANN.lu), followed by Amiga.org and ANN back then. Just that our
english forum, unfortunately, isn't used that often, to put it mildly. ;-)
We can always keep buying new Domains with AMIGA in the URL.
Sure, but without sufficient inducement for a concerted action (like the exodus to AWN back then), any new forum will stay without users and thus useless. There are many examples online, see our own one mentioned above. Sure, it's old and thus not as comfortable as today's installed-in-5-minutes forum software packages, but here "the cat bites its own tail" (a German saying): without demand for a modernized english forum at amiga-news.de, there is little incentive for the amiga-news.de team to invest even more of their spare time to establish such an "update".
