Been watching too much Big bang theory? The product was placed in Season 2, Episode 23. Time to get a dialogue about Amiga and/or C64 in there ;-)

/me wonders how long it will be before someone insists their post count is preserved :lol:

It looks like your post count made it through to the other side intact :D

Actually it looks like everyone's did.

I took a screen shot of the old site before it went offline so we don't forget...

Well, only a few more hours left and this version of AO is gone. Obsoleted by a new version of PHP. So, we march forward.
You might not like it. Might not like the new site software or the new theme. The lack of features and the forum only nature. The rest will come in time. Doomsday is coming and we can't wait til the last day this server runs PHP4.
This is far better than the past when the site moved on in a momemt of disaster.  We moved to Xoops when phpNuke (it was nuke, right?) that was running the site got hacked. Data was lost. The site was rebooted under Xoops. If I recall correctly this happend twice somewhat close together.
This time we get to keep all the data. It just will not be all be available when the new site goes live Saturday morning. Be patient!
Long Live Amiga.org

Long live amiga.org! :D :salute:
Lack of features? For the first time I'm now actually seeing features! If the old site had any features at all then I never saw them... ;)

I didn't know (or I don't remember) anything else than Xoops. When was the site run on a nuke?

Looks like most things survived the transition. The new layout will take a bit of getting used to, that's all.

unimpressed
« Reply #22 on: May 17, 2009, 08:05:20 AM »
unimpressed, or call me low motivated to bother with a.org changing... why do i have to bother to learn the new layout??? I have lots of other things to do.  So this may be a farewell for me or my posts will drop to even less/fewer than before. :-p
i'm also posting this more of a test. ;-)  would be nice to have a quick start guide showing the new features and improvements.

Well,it looks less featured to me.Appearance reminds me of the BBS days.
But I understand Wayne was forced to this by server software changes.Sometimes the big boys change the rules and the rest of us must go along or give up the game,even when we don't think it is fair.
I still don't understand what new,improved features the new hosting software offers over the old.Sometimes I wish the software people would stop "improving" a good thing.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

 IF the  automobile-petrol industries did what the computer industry does we would have to junk our cars every  few years because they couldn't run  the new version fuel! Oh no,I may give tthem  ideas!

If you can't find anything helpful to say (constructive critisisms with actual suggestions) then maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. Wayne is busting his balls to do this FORCED change for our entertainment. I'm sure he would have much preferred to leave the site as it was but this move wasn't optional. Offhanded negative remarks are only going to piss Wayne off and won't help improve the site in any way. If you don't like it, offer ideas... or better yet, lend a helping hand.
