It's his site


No doubt about that. But I suspect it has to do with what I mentioned.

Christian is upset with Genesi for several reasons, and has cleaned out anything even remotely related from his site. If you don't know why, go browse the ann.lu history ...

There's obviously a lot going on between BBRV and CK at the moment


It surely looks that way, doesn't it?

and Chris has obviously decided that it's in his best interests to keep quiet about it.


I wouldn't exactly call it "quiet", but it's his site, and he decides what he does with it. I know that there are reasons behind his actions, as well as there are reasons behind the reasons. I just hope it can be solved in a peaceful way, but I fear that some things already has gone too far for that to happen in this particular case? I don't know ...

Have you also noticed how the "flaming" on ANN seems to have died down a hell of a lot?  Amazing :-)


Unfortunately, the flaming died with the postings. :-( I don't like this. The "reds" went in one direction, the "blues" went in another. That is sad for a person like me, who's "center of the world" for several years has been ann.lu.

I see a potential business opportunity there! ;-) I am also collecting some interesting domains ...
:-)

Besides, I fail to see how Coder was "whining" here ...

I agree, and I wonder why that is? And the silent minority just recently got a lot bigger IMHO ...

it would be better if neither company were involved at all and the Amiga (as we remember it) were just left to die.


The Amiga died ten years ago. Really. I can prove it! ;-)

Neither of the recent attempts for a "NG" platform should be labelled "Amiga" in my opinion (they are both new deals), and it's a pity that *one* is.

@ bhoggett

I agree to what you say. I kind of like the "bunny" too, it serves it's purpose. And to be honest, I really haven't seen any trace of "Genesi ownership" on that site. That site is the definition of anarchy, and it *has not* played in favour of Genesi the last several months! ;-)

Besides, the "bunny" is the only site where there is any action these days. All others are pretty dull now IMO ...

@bhoggett,

I too like the Bunny.  That's why I bought (and renew) the domain name to help out.  I got tired of having to remember the flyingmice.com URL, which doesn't seem related to the site (in a mind-logic sorta sense).

I don't think Christian's actions are politically motivated.  I can only guess, because to me it's not even worth asking about.  We're all pretty much painfully aware that there is bad blood between Christian and BBRV.  Most people can't even begin to guess what's really behind it, and it's not even really our business to know.  

Taking into consideration the recent alleged legal threats by BBRV, my guess however is that Christian feels very strongly that showing any type of support for sites that are Genesi sponsored somehow puts him in jeopardy.  On the other hand, he may simply not feel like dealing with it any more.  There are times when I very well understand the feeling.

One thing needs to be pointed out very clearly here that everyone's more than happy to overlook.  Note that Christian and crew have not stopped the news stories regarding Genesi from being posted.  Neither has he (they) interfered in any of them, which I think -- all things considered -- is very admirable of him, not that he needs my admiration or even support.

I say, more power to him.

My suggestion to Christian (if you're listening) would be to pull the whole damned block altogether and put up one of the "links directory" programs which lets him post "newest links" rather than "preferred links".

I always go to Ann and from there to MooBunny. Since I noticed I could not do that anymore I wanted to know why. Maybe the link would be back or something else. I know Christain had a prob with BBRV but I am not interested in the whole story. I just wanted to know why the link was gone. And it turns out that it was related to that Genesi thing. That's it. Nothing more.

I know locking down a thread or removing it gets a lot of attention. But just saying it to me I could even change it myself. No harm done.

Also these days everything is about that stuff. No matter what is started there is always a mentioning of just that. I mean I saw some Genesi related news items. I did not check it but I am sure it contains some same old Everything turns into that so it's better not to post anything. It's all going to that direction anyway. But we keep posting anyway. I know I am. :-)

I do have to buy some clothes and I am not sure if I should go for a black or blue pants. I could ask that and I am sure it will be a clean thread. But I did say blue. ;-) Just kidding, I am here to post.
