MAI Logic Website Disappeared

[Holley]

Hahaha!

There's some interesting stuff not hapenning over at Amigaworld (namely the 20 questions thing), and various other little comments about lack of feedback from companies etc.

On the plus side, I'm getting a real nostalgic feeling from this thread :-D

At least MOS seems to have got a second wind, and AROS PPC exists now, so even in the worst case scenario it won't be the end of the world ...

@Holley

Keep in mind that AW moderators are deleting any posts that reference Mai Logic's demise.  It's kind of an out of sight, out of mind thing.  But, then again, there's a number of people that think Eyetech is doing a good job, that the A1 doesn't have bugs, and that the earth is flat.

Not all posts, just the duplicate posts. There are currently 2 active Mai threads on AW now & here on A.org. All this bandwidth & no answers.

[seer]

AFAIK only one thread was locked because a moderator believed that since none of us would know the answer anyway.

Not sure I agree, but to be honest I don't really care about MAI so..

They have a funny reality control thing going on there sometimes :-?

Which is a shame 'cause many of the regulars are really nice guys.

EDIT: just went and had a look, 2x threads locked, 3rd just starting.

Hehe, now that's funny. :-D

Hey Sundown, car guys have gotta stick together ;-) Have you got the June Hemmings Muscle Machines BTW?

No amiga curse there. Mai has ben in trouble long before the Amiga
came along. its nothing new for them. People told Amiga Inc to stay
away but they wanted a fast cheap solution to the A1 and thats what
you get for taking the route they chose.

Fast?  Cheap?  WTF?

Thanks for telling aw.net why they are doing things. It is really quite amusing. Reality control! LOL, so funny I almost wet myself. Oh dear, I did...

Oh and for your information only one post was deleted, mine, that I made whilst a moderator locked the thread. I deleted it out of courtesy to the moderator. Absolutely no other posts were deleted, deleting posts is a big no-no and pointless because we can just throw them into our special trash forum so we can keep a copy of what was moderated, always, ever.

Why was the thread locked? None of your business if you cant work it out from the thread. If you were an aw.net member I might tell you on aw.net. Amusingly for you it was locked by a OS4 on Pegasos supporting Moderator. But shurely shome mishtake!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking at the site the MAI demise is getting mentioned all over the place, and no one seems to be stopping it. Ive peeked through the moderation records and found nothing instructing all our Borg warriors to assimilate all MAI threads.

This was locked because it was already being discussed on another thread:

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=12394&forum=3#170011

Look, theres even an UNLOCKED thread here:

Wooo! Quick boys, lets rush in and troll!

What jolly japes!!! Makes a change from anti-aw.net paranoiac drivel being posted on moobunny I guess.

While you are dribbling into the porridge this morning, how about reading this too:

http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2290

Especially:

What the reputation is of this forum on other sites I also dont give a monkeys kazoo about and will not paralyse the side moderation here one iota, despite best attempts with those with a genuine problem as much as those who just brinked, then smeared or just smeared based on what they heard someone else say.

So whilst I don't give a monkeys kazoo ( I rent it out, giftware is so last century, see www.monkeykazoorentals.org for details if you find obtaining one yourself too difficult ) what you think, I would however like to see that outright liars on this thread either doing a bit of reading or not getting too carried away in the soap opera they are running in their own heads ;-)

 :lol:

I've read all the posts, thankyou.  Both locked threads (which you'll find I accurately reported on on the first page) were closed before running their natural course (without being out of control).

I don't think AW.net is over-moderated, it's just what moderation there is is often done in an aggresive manner.  Thats my direct experience, nothing more.

But then this thread isn't concerned with AW.net is it?  It's to do with the fact that Mai have disappeared off the face of the planet; which doesn't happen to healthy & legitimate businesses, at least not without a press release giving a good reason.

At this point, if I were an A1 owner I would be getting nervous - I'm sure that things will work out one way or another though ...

Natural selection will prevail as always Holley!  Only the religious nutbags will argue otherwise. :-D

The end result here -- without all the stupid bickering -- is that if MAI are truly gone (and not bought out like some rumors are ripe to suggest), Eyetech have no boards to sell.  

Using that premise, quite simply -- unless Eyetech can instantly locate another solution, then get Hyperion to rewrite the base logic of OS4 (how many years will that take?) -- the fate of the "future Amiga" is sealed.

MAI - disappeared. (or should I say MIA?)
Eyetech - completely silent
Hyperion - still slightly active but without a board to write for.
Amiga Inc - for all appearances, dead.

It's time to put AmigaOS4 on the Mac guys.  Well, about 4 years past time now, but if they get started now, maybe we could see OS4 before 2010.
