My guess is that someone didn't like the honest and informed discussion that happens at moo.

It's been at least five years that there was something Amiga related on moobunny you could describe as "honest" or "informed". Moobunny used to be an useful and interesting place, but these days it's merely a dumping ground for anti-OS4 tirades based on AW quotes ripped out of context.

IMHO, John should disable posting, clear the remaining SPAM and leave the site online because of its useful archives. That means there won't be a place in the English part of the web where Amiga users can post anonymously - but in 2012, the Moo approach (i.e. completely unmoderated) simply doesn't work anymore.

Are you comparing moo to 4chan? Seriously?

And you don't need to lecture *me* about the usefulness of anonymity - as long as moo is offline, Senex and me are running the only Amiga related website that allows anonymous posting. And it's not like the other entities in the community love us for having that feature.

But moo has turned into a site that seemed to offer anonymity for anonymity's sake. There was absolutely no useful output in the last few years, just people bashing each other or their favourite target as much as they want. I don't see how that serves a purpose.

You want to point out the numerous flaws, cover ups, lies and desasters surrounding OS4? Be my guest (unless you're a morphos core developer, of course ;)). But quoting an unrelated user, usually only quoting whatever part you need to go on a rant about OS4 this or AmigaOne that, three times a day, 7 days a week - why?
