A little poll of how many people actually ....
« on: February 22, 2003, 02:14:44 PM »
How many people here actually go to amiga.com for imformation about the Amiga?

I thought this would be interesting to know.

I use the forums there, but that's it.  The last AmigaOS related news was the features list on 13/1 - and I got to hear about that from other places.  The Amiga Corporate site is hardly the fountain of knowledge :-)

Never as they never update their website, like most of Amiga companies never update their websites.

I for one would hope in the future they would update their websites instead of expecting people to go around news forums etc to see what is going on.

The AmigaONE is a fine example of how pathetic the company talks to its customers (or soon to be).

I usually only go there following a link[/i] to something new that some kind person has thoughtfully provided!

Not me. I've stopped going there altogether now, for news of Amiga related things or anything else. There's just nothing to see or read*, so why bother?

* - except for the BS, which I've learn to completely ignore.

Once a month, when it might have actually been updated.
But to be honest i prefer sites like this as they are more informative and you can communicate with other Amigans through the forums and IRC.

Who wants to read about freakin Microsoft on an Amiga site? Not me.

I'm with the rest of y'all. If Amiga Inc has something new to say, someone will post a link here or on one of the other Amiga hangouts.

Almost never. Just about the only time I go there is if someone posts a link to something interesting.

If it's OS 4.0/A1-related and Amiga.org has a news post linking to Amiga.com, then I'll go, but otherwise, I get all my Amiga news here on Amiga.org.

I agree that for someone who is supposed to be a community leader, Amiga Inc's web site lacks in all that a community leader requires.  One could call them a sporadic news site, with posts once every blue moon.  I suppose they're a bit busy pushing DE and being sued by blue butterflies.  :-P

Do the forums count?

I hardly ever use the static parts of amiga.com but I do visit the os.amiga.com forums on a daily basis.
Not a whole lot of news there, though, most of the news items are reposts from a.org, amiga-news.de etc  :-D
