How about using A.org to attempt a rough count?

I'll set up a poll with a few simple choices and if we link to it on other amiga sites maybe we can get a rough count of how many Amigans there are...

I imagine there are alot more users then we think, would tho be nice to get a sales number of AmigaOS 4.x and MorphOS, My guess there would be alot more MorphOS users then AOS4 on NG systems due to the hardware price?

I would guess only about 3000 active amiga users, and that's optimistic...

Where's that previous thread?




I've been a member of amiga.org for a looooong time, since '99 I think? We have had many threads over the years that have discussed the current amiga population, some using activity on sites like this, some using activity on ebay.

None ever had any real conclusion more than speculation.

I think for most purposes activities like Morphos, Aros, Amiga forever downloads, etc. aminet and forum site activity are good enough for me.
Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,
and its read only!

It looks like its more visitors compared to some years back and that could indicate a growing pool of dark matter Amiga enthusiasts living outside the visual range.

I would say the very activate users, who still use there Amiga or Amiga like machine on a daily bases and buy amiga products and attend user groups etc there must be around 2,000 to 3,000, world wide.

then I would say on top of that number there are around about another 2,000 to 3,000 people who still follow the amiga and maybe use just an emulator now and again and follow progress etc.

Then most likely after that they might be as many as a million computer users who still remember what Amiga was and might have an ever so slight passing interest in the Amiga

Number of individuals worldwide regularly using Amiga in some capacity? (classic, emulation, MorphOS, AROS etc.)   Also, number regularly using Commodore 64? (or emulation)


No idea on C-64 guys.  If you throw in UAE/OS3,OS4,AROS, MOS all together, IMO, probably somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000.

Difficult to say.. All I know is that I get between 15 and 17,000 visitors to the site every month so I guess the Amiga does have a reasonable following.
