@Thread

Thanks to all for the welcome,  some of you already know a little of what went on over at AW.net,  it was the "Moderators are GOD and woe betide anyone who questions" attitude that was the final straw.  I had had enough of people being treated like children instead of the the adults that we are.  

This site amiga.org was recommended to me by a few people,  so here I am.


Appologies to those that already know me,  you can probably skip this bit,  but for those that don't and are interested, here is a  brief intro

For those that do not know me,  I run the website www.amigaoneproductions.co.uk,  I have spent the last few years producing videos of various Amiga events around the UK, and also the AmiGBG event at Gothenburg, Sweden for the past two years.  I am working on this years DVD at the moment (from footage of the event earlier this year).

My history of Amiga use goes back to around 1987 with an A500,  I wrote demos and applications which were released as  Public Domain and Deja-Vu Licenseware,  I was a Beta Tester for Amos so I got free versions of that to play with a couple of years before release.

I was still using Amiga into the mid 90's but defected to PC use because of the lack of Amiga support around that time,  but I've been back since the release of the AmigaOne (hence the name AmigaOneProductions ;-) )  

My plans for the future are to get back into program development within the coming year, spending less time on video production (which came about completly by accident as no-one else was bothering at the time)

Also for anyone interested,  I have the fix details for the AmigaOne XE DMA and USB fixes and can perform this fix in the UK,  I have the official details from Eyetech,  but due to Non-Dislosure Agreements,  I am not allowed to pass the documents on to anyone else.

I am sure you will get to know me over time and what I am interested in (Hint, Starts with an A, five letter long,  and ends with an A :-) )

Thanks again for the welcome,  I'm sure you will see me around :-)

Welcome :pint:
I don't frequent A.Org (AW sometimes) as I used to cause I'm becoming old in this. I remember sawing that AmigaOS vs MorphOS thread on AW couple of days/week(?) ago and not even bothering with it, mainly because the discussions and arguments are allways the same since 2001/2  :lol:  
Overall I think after this site's own episodes in the past it's probably the one more open and wich has more participation of all the diferent Amiga variants. And people are still direct with their opinions discussionwise but remain friendly in the end (normally 8-)). Variety is the salt of life (or whatever), despite with various diferent opinions I think some people are just part of the house now.

The AmigaOS development forum here has helped me ALOT! Not very much movement in the last times but normally you'll find posts are replied, just take a bit longer. AOS4/MOS/Classic/ developers all participate wich is way cool. I'm trying to develop something too but I normally don't say what it is to avoid creating expectations and because my own expectations are not very high(current status is very close to what could be a release though).
Cheers
:pint:

I tend to keep one foot in each pond and try not to tick off any of the fish in either bowl. Welcome to the other side. I find each has it's own flavor. :-)

Welcome m8

This site has been my spirtal home since 2001, and ive never felt the urge to join another amiga forum.  Yes the same old arguments are still going strong, but its a friendly place, always with plenty of help, ideas and inspiration.  I tend to read more than post these days(as my post count would imply), but hope to get involved in a yarn with you soon.

Welcome

There are times on all boards you will get this, yep, even here however, I think AO does a much better job at moderation than AW. Even the moderators themselves get quite passionate at times which I think is great!!
I'm an amiga nutta, but I really only use WinUAE for the speed and graphics. No one here minds that
Mind you I'm absolutly haging out for the OS4 release and hardware. I find myself going over to Hyperion and reading the OS4 page over and over again and getting excited every time.

.....I have no life! sob

lol welcome again mate, enjoy.

Welcome! Always nice to see more A1 users on here. Most seem to live at AW.net

I agree, I've read and posted on other forums in the past, but this is the only one I come to most days. Lot of nice people on this forum, and the little jokes and chats you can share with them outside of JUST talking about Amigas make it  all the more light-hearted. This therefore makes it easier to take disagreements in your stride, you can just joke about it, like taking the piss out of that friend who's a Man U fan (whose team got knocked out of the Champions' League tonight ;-))

The thing is that every board gets the odd tosser as a moderator now and then, however most are excellent. Don't leave board just because of this - that's what they want you to do.

Best thing is to just sign up to a few, then use whichever has the best active users at the time. I tend to wander between amiga.org and amigaworld.net, although amiga.org is the daddy.

It has been some time coming ;-)  this latest episode was just the last straw :-)

I have actually been signed up as a member here for a couple of years,  just never really took part here,  although did lurk from time to time.

Hey guess what,  my goodbye speech over at aw as been locked,  now why am I not surprised  :roll:

Anyway,  it looks like we are on for completing the AmiGBG DVD over this Xmas holiday,  some other work that was planned has fallen though, which leaves a window of opportunity to get this project finished.
The race is on,  gotta get the DVD done before the release of OS4  :-D   (now some would say that gives me plenty of time,  but that's not the positive attitude of us Amigans now is it  :-) )
