New MorphOS Website: MorphZone

[Targhan]

MorphZone Opens!

MorphZone (http://www.morphzone.org) is the new community portal for MorphOS users; including the MWD (Morph Web Directory), in-depth articles, forums, reviews, and more!  MorphZone membership is free, as our services are geared to help cultivate the MorphOS community towards the future.

While many sections of MorphZone are currently under construction, the staff and moderaters have deemed that we can announce the opening of our forums.  Beyond the expected forums, MorphZone's forums include several private forums, including forums for "the scene" and "Phoenix."  There is also a special forum called "Generator," which will see special posts from people associated with Genesi to answer user's questions (these times will usually be announced a week or so in advance).

Soon, MorphZone will have an Ambient/Desktop contest, with the winners receiving a prize and their screen-grab will be published on several "partner" sites.  Registered users can also adjust the look of MorphZone by selecting a different theme in their user-profile.  These themes will allow MorphZone members to adjust the look and feel of MorphZone according to the browser that they are using at the time.  MorphZone also maintains a news-feed from MorphOS-News.de to help keep pace with the world around us (thanks www.morphos-news.de).  MorphZone.org promises to be a leap forward for the MorphOS community.

Finally, MorphZone wouldn't have been possible without the help of many friends, associates, and the community itself.  The webmasters of MorphZone would like to thank the following people, institutions, and groups:  Wayne Hunt (Amiga.org), Bill Buck, Raquel Velasco, MorphOS-News.de, VaporWare, #MorphOS on ARCNet, Jobbo, Phoenix, Hooligan, and many others.

Sincerely,
Targhan

@CyberViking2000

You confuse MorphOS with AmigaInc's AmigaDE, which contractually prevents those developers from working on AmigaOS stuff without express permission from Amiga Inc.  (To the best of my knowledge that is).

@teotwin

Teotwin raises an eyebrow...

Am I not allowed to work on multiple sites now?  I guess my in progress REBOL site must go away, huh?  Should I scrap my plans for a LinuxPPC site that would help all of our A1 friends out?  Oh no, heaven forbid someone speak of the evil penguin on *this* site!

Oh yeah, I run Amithlon, and have an Elbox Mediator in my A1200.  I guess that isn't good enough to be an Amigan anymore?  How about my $50 donation to the "missing t-shirt club" fund, was that enough?  

I occationally write for Bill Griffon's "The New Amigans," does that make me the enemy?  I'm not the greatest programmer that ever lived, but I think I've written some helpful little ARexx programs and installer scripts.  Does this fact make me an enemy of the Boing-Ball-State?  When I tried to "publish" the UGN-Times newsletter (with very little help on the authorship side),  was I already selling out?

Am I really the enemy, or is it just your point of view?

Sound like someone put up the defensive walls a little too early to me.

Yeah, I guess I did.  Was arguing with someone else, so I suppose it carried over.  I apologize.

About Amiga/MOS being seperate, some of it should be--and some of it not.  I suppose it really boils down to the topic at hand.  There are some MorphOS news item that would just bore an anti-MOS person to tears, and vice versa.  Yet, there are enough family ties that complete seperation probably isn't possible.

Just for your information guys, I'll bust chops on the Pegasos suppliers as quickly as I would AmigaOS suppliers.. Mai's Big-Deal  Hrm.. doesn't Mai do the northbridge for the Teron too?  Maybe I should post another copy here...?

@earlier-stuff
Hrm.. I may have been mistaken about the DE license. (It's not as if even the license coming with Borland isn't scary to look at either... What's with companies and these over-legalized nightmares to read?)  :-?
