« on: August 19, 2004, 11:21:28 PM »
Its sad but if someone ask,s about the current amiga market and you mention the pegasos they remove the post and put the reason as off topic quite sad if you ask me, theres more choices than the amigaone ,even if they dont like to admit it. :-?
I once had an amigaone xe but sold it .

That's rather sad. Following that line of logic, UAE and OS4 would be off topic as well, as they both use emulation to run classic software.

What can you expect from a corporate fansite? Free speech?

Not to mention that they label the posters as trolls simply for doing so.

I have 3 pegs immediately to the right of where I am sitting. They are not in use right now, but they are excellent at what they do.

Err yes, and there's quite a few A1s out there being used as main machines right now!

AW is a bit of a pain, but on the other hand a couple of Peg advocates that have posted there in the past have been a bit over the top ... and thats coming from someone who likes 'em :-)

I'm sure some people who make POS posts on there ARE trolls. Just like on here, when someone asks a simple AOS question, someone just has to chime in with "get a Peg instead!".

Yeah, and I have an A4000 on my desk.. but that doesnt change the fact that A4000s are not avaiable anymore to new customers..

And if you morphos guys dont like amigaworld why do you visit it? no one is forcing you to visit the site.. its getting boring now, every few months when nothing is going on some morphos dude has the idea to bash amigaworld just for the fun of it..

Yeah, what an evil troll. For the interests of the Amiga people with such wrong thoughts should have their right to self-expression taken away. It's the only way to purify and make sure we are all True Amigans.

What is funny about that site, is that they've often claimed that they have no bias. And that they have no policy of removing posts about AmigaOS alternatives.

No official policy, perhaps. But you just read some of the moderator comments and you'll see that it is a quite anti-MOS site.

I have never seen anyone getting their posts deleted for just mentioning pegasos... I know it is biased a bit towards amiga, cause they even admit that themself.. Amigaworld is a amiga community site, which has nothing to do with pegasos which is an entirely different computer. Amigaworld should be compared to a site like morphzone, and not compared to such sites as amiga.org, which is a site aimed more for both platforms.

But still, i have never seen any post getting deleted for just mentioning pegasos, unless there has been some serious trolling going on.

You must just face the facts... Pegasos/morphos has nothing to do with amiga, other than it is compitable with some amiga software. A pegasos is a pegasos, while amiga an amiga..

I dont think morphzone would be happy if amiga users came spamming their forum with messages like this: "Pegasos sucks, get a amigaone.."

I don't read it all that often, and even I know it has happened.

You must! I'm too busy dealing with your opinions right now.

Except for the fact that it has basically the same design, and is very compatable with both PPC and 68k software. And MorphOS was to become OS4! Ha!!

I agree. But we're not talking about people doing that. We are discussing people who only mention Pegasos in any positive way (or even only near positive )

That's right sir, AW is a big Amiga Inc. worship site.

An Amiga is an Amiga but an AmigaOne is a TeronCX, a board which is very similar to the Pegasos and shares the same number of similarities to the original Amiga - absolutely none.

So saying that Pegasos isn't an Amiga while TeronCX is just because Amiga Inc (who don't exist any more) say so, is rather ridiculous.

But I'd just have had this little comment moderated if I was on AWN. Can't disrupt the harmony of the collective with cold facts, can we?
