Already discussed in  another thread, too.

Oops, so I see.

Very sad indeed.  I wish Amiga.Inc would actually do something FOR the Amiga.  They really make it hard to believe.

Construction on the 6,025-seat arena began Monday after the Kent City Council last week gave the final go-ahead to build the venue

Seems to be a pretty small arena. Probably not worth the effort for Amiga Inc. How about the Pond in Anaheim, Ca. Now that has a seating capacity of 17,000. Maybe that will suit them. Plus its but a short walk to Fantasy Land. :lol:

LOL @ AI and Bill McNugget

The headline and article is wrong. Here is what it should say, short and sweet.

The Amiga Circus Has Left Town.

The circus, otherwise known as Amiga Inc has left town. Unlike your typical circus there were no lions, no jugglers, trapeze artists etc. The only thing the Amiga Inc circus brought was a single clown, named Bozo McBill.

LOL, yeah, I told you so. Next item up for discussion.  Where are those new Amigas?

I wish Amiga Inc. actually existed. Purchasing the name of a dead company doesn't make you that company (regardless of what the law says)... just a parasite. I'm glad this deal fell through. Clearly this impostor company has no intention of doing anything for Amiga users and its just some idiots exploiting the name to try and get rich. The only post-Commodore owners of the Amiga who actually continued the business, supported the products, and employed some of the staff was Escom. All the subsequent owners have just been pirates and should burn in hell.

... and yet you guys wonder why Amiga Inc never really went out of their way to support the Amiga community ...

If I were them, even if everything were "on schedule and rockin", I'd stay as far away from you guys as possible.

thats just it.. it never was "on schedule and rockin'".  they get what they had coming to them..people just realized all that the trolling really wasnt trolling about AI, it was the truth.

As much as this is crap, if whatshisface from Invisible Hand felt that Kent wasn't going to give them rights to party like Broadcom, perhaps they decided not to pony up even if someone could've coughed up the funds.

The whole idea was as half-baked as they get, but if the only purpose would be to show off arena-bling to look big to "partners," and the city wanted to keep it realistic, rather than some sort of third-rate Google campus knockoff (maybe they were going to serve Coke, not AmiCola?)...   :lol:

Well it was really silly to invest in an Arena for AI, they need to start acting like a company with valid products first, THEN try to get sponsorship!  Not the other way around!
