Amiga.org Ownership Resolution

[eliyahu]

You will sleep more soundly and softly at night with renewed confidence since you will now know who owns your beloved Amiga.org.

wait, is this the mysterious 'ted' wayne spoke of before 'leaving' the site?  is there any particular reason why he wishes to remain anonymous?  in truth i've never even considered who the site owner is here, or at amigaworld.net, or at amigans.net, or... well, anywhere, really.

if the owner is someone with commercial interests that have some bearing on the community, then, yes, it should be disclosed if for no other reason than it might effect moderation policy. but otherwise i say let the guy stay in the dark if he'd prefer. doesn't really matter, i shouldn't think.

I thought we already knew who bought the site?

* * *.  Is his name not allowed to be said here or something?

i'm sorry, but this is ridiculous.  by virtue of the fact the this is being edited, we know the owner's first name. assuming that 'ted' actually exists. frankly this whole thread stinks of some bizarre mind-game.

here. let me help you: ted, ted, ted, ted. ted. oh, yeah, how 'bout a little more ted? let's continue this farcical cry for attention and controversy:

ted!!!! hoo-ray for ted! :nervous:

no one actually cares. as one of the lunatics, i think it's rather clear we would just like the asylum under sane management. whose management doesn't matter. just knowing someone was actually (and actively) in charge would be a comfort.

i quite enjoy amiga.org as it is certainly more light-hearted than my other amiga hang-outs, but since wayne and some of the other 'old-hands' jumped ship, the site does seem to be spiraling downward. karlos can only do so much, and i'm pleased to see more active moderation since the beginning of the week, so thank you to whomever is responsible. they can remain anonymous if they'd prefer, for whatever reason. :sealed:

Hmm...perhaps it keeps being edited out because everyone is spelling it wrong.
Congratulation btw. You just set the record for spelling it wrong most often in one post. Heh.

you mean, i should spell it '***?' the misspelling was deliberate on my part, by the way. has anyone ever met ***? or spoken to him on the telephone? or seen a picture of him? i mean, '***' was a vice president at lehman and an executive at netscape. i would think that, aside from a *** with no connections, he has no non-amiga internet presence whatsoever.

i'm starting to doubt the guy even exists. if someone, other than bill, has had direct contact with him via audio, video, or in person, could they say so?

Regardless, the "introduction", so to speak was on AW, not on Amiga.org. It was referred to later in an OSNews articles with many comments. Still later BillP clarified the introduction also on AW. It could not be more clear how *** had 1st intended to support the community. The date of the effort should be enough explanation in itself as to why things did not go as hoped.

perhaps i'm just missing history. certainly wouldn't be the first time.

but as far as anyone has been able to tell me, *** exists only electronically. you're sort of the doyen of the amiga community: can you unequivocally state that *** exists as a real, flesh-and-blood person? that would certainly be good enough for me.
