Amiga.org Vs Amigaworld.net........Give us your views!

[Paradox]

I personly think A.org is miles better than amigaworld.net becuase you can get away with much more and poeple dont ban you all the time.

There isnt an irc chat applet for a.org which could be uasefull though

I would love to chat on Amiga.org irc chat

amiga.org should get irc

I like both sites and haven't had any trouble with getting banned etc. over on AW.net. A.org has a more classic Amiga focus and can be thought of as looking at the broader Amiga scene. AW.net is geared more toward OS4. Occasionally you get people that insist on trying to redirect the focus of AW.net threads to Aros & Morphos which annoys some people. As Aros users have AROS-Exec, and Morphos users have morphzone, I can understand the irritation.

I visit A.org for stuff like the Minimig and more general Amiga stuff, and AW.net for OS4 stuff.

P.S. not sure where Amigans.net fits in to the Amiga scene

Thanks for the kind words Paradox.  While we here at AO think we are the best, the truth is that there is room for everyone in the community.

The funny thing is that AW and it's new spinoff came about as a result of people's disapproval of certain things on AO.  Ironically, they now find themselves in the same boat that led them to create their own sites.  To each their own but remember our community is getting smaller and those of us who are still around need to be a little kinder to each other or the community will shrink that much faster.

You mean it's more troll friendly? I wouldn't bet on it if I was you...

AmberInc..

all you have to do is fire up WookieChat and Zirc is right there !!

I enjoy both sites.

The people who left AmigaWorld recently cannot stand to find out about or discuss anything outside the narrow world of cheering for OS4.

Since we had OS4 news this week - 3 out of 4 threads on AW.Net have been about OS4.

However these people who left would have rather Amigaworld was tumbleweed for the previous 12 months than discuss MOS/AROS/Genesi etc. They tolerate classic through gritted teeth (I should know! - RomanceClip was a VERY enthusiastic classic user)  :-D

Remember, amiga.org has had issues with 'leading' community figures - luckily amiga.org and (for the last year or so) amigaworld.net are grown up enough to move on!  :-)

I prefer it over here... but still do peek over aw quite often.

Both good, informative sites imho.

[Paradox]

cool thankyou

im in now :-)

no i meant amiga.org is the best and first place i go always.

AMIGA.ORG RULEZ :afro:

yeah it sound right that the poeple who made AW.net were banned from here becuase they very annoying and ban people etc..

aw.net is not a true amigans website if a fellow amigan cant put across his views without harrasment or flamewars or even a ban!

[The_Editor]

So is Sister Rita

and some of us amigans.net peeps actually got suspended from AW too !!

Lets try not to stir the sh1t between sites eh RomanceClip.

Amber Inc knows it causes flamefests !!

If you don't troll so much, there 's a much lower probability of banning on any site ;-)

As with most other posters so far, I use both - although I visit A.org much more often, and post here more often - simply because people here know about the OS I use - OS3.9 .

If I had an Amigaone I would probably spend some more time over at AW.net, as the expertise in that OS is more concentrated over there (imho), however I don't own one.

Once I start using MOS more I'll probably spend a bit more time over at morphzone too.

I feel more at home in A.org, I don't know the etiquette, the history, the idiosyncracies of the people over at AW.net anywhere near as much.

Also, I find the interface and colour scheme of A.org more pleasing on the eyes - considering the amount of time I spend here that's an important factor.

Consider - go round to someone's house and start criticising them/their interests and they are likely to throw you out, or at least not invite you back.  Same thing.

Also - try reading a few threads >40 posts over at aw.net and realise why people there are so pi55ed off by the same issues/criticisms/insults/comparisons - their site really does (and I am not blaming anyone here) seem to be quite plagued by flame fests, caused generally by (real or perceived) baiting, trolling, dragging up the past. It makes it really difficult to read any of the threads, and frankly if it was happening here as much I'd be a lot less inclined to spend time here. I sometimes think maybe there should be a "reply with an invitation to IRC to argue about it" button on AW.net.

This is not meant as any criticism of anyone, merely a comment on the state of affairs.

.Org is the best, cos I have got soooo much help here already...!

@Paradox

"aw.net is not a true amigans website if a fellow amigan cant put across his views without harrasment or flamewars or even a ban!"

So basically what your saying is aw.net wont tolerate trolling but you believe it's some how more acceptable or atleast a blind eye is turned here.
Well if that's the case then aw.net must be recently doing something right.  

Amiga.org is the best classic resource site for me, aw.net is one of the better sources for OS4 related news, slightly tainted tho by the few trouble makers that hang about there.

O.K. I should have added the caveat IMHO - but this illustrates what I meant.

I was criticising people for leaving Amigaworld.Net to form Amigans.net and their reasons for doing it. I am entitled to do this on some sites but not others. If you disagree with me then that's fine! How is that stirring sh1t?  :-)

There is a thread, currently on Amigaworld;
"OS4 or MOS, that is the question... "
Let me know when you are allowed to discuss such issues over at Amigans and I will take the site slightly more seriously.

btw - If the community was 5x bigger I would say Good luck to the Amigans - but as it stands I hope it withers and people come back to Amigaworld and Amiga.org.  :-)
