I vote for AmigaWorld.net too. It is more Amiga oriented than Amiga.org since many years, while Amiga.org is more diversed with AROS, Linux, MorphOS and even Windows crap. Amigaworld.net is oriented in AmigaOS 4 much more and there you can find really informative topics, unlike on Amiga.org where it is slammed and trashed by people who did not touch anything Amiga since years. That's why these days AmigaWorld.net is more preferred domain for me and seems not only me.

I wouldn't be so harsh on A.org, its a great site and very inclusive.

AW.net and A.org I find to be a good compliment to each other, even though they're very similar.

Here's hoping the A-cube offering becomes good enough to make them enough money to buy them out! How did such a great company become such a blight on the Amiga community. I almost dont consider them to be Amiga anymore, but for their history. I wonder how many of the Amiga die hard companies would be interested in being stakeholders of the company. I mean, if cloanto, acube, hyperion the aros community banded together, could they return the amiga to its former glory? I'm an eternal optimist.

There is nothing in Amiga, Inc's history that I would use to justify thinking of them as an "Amiga" company. The only good thing they did was licence OS4 development to Hyperion. If only they'd have just died properly afterwards.

Edit: The company that is, not the people.
