Amiga.org Welcomes Genesi as an advertising sponsor

[moood]

Very nice to see that Amiga.org has a new sponsor.

What's not so nice is that the new sponsors website is outdated.  :-(
If you look at the April/CPU part of the website it says that it will be possible to update the Pegasos with a G4 or a dual G4 using the same mainboard. At least Genesis publically announced (http://www.morphos-news.de/index.php?lg=en&nid=222&si=1) that the Pegasos I will not have a G4 upgrade.

Uh-oh there goes the neighbourhood!  

Is that what the C64 users said when Commodore bought Amiga too? :-D

Bingo!  Ding Ding Ding!  Give that man a cigar...

"it says that it will be possible to update the Pegasos with a G4 or a dual G4 using the same mainboard"

as a tradein you will be able to upgrade for a very good price. (sounds like resonable compensation?)

Congratulation Wayne, any income stream for amiga.org is a very good and vital thing.... no matter how dubious  the source.....

Dubious? Is that really necessary?

[Madgun68]

What happened to the others? Are they no longer sponsoring Amiga.org?

[Skyraker]

Absolutely, got to keep up the side up....

(it was  in no way a dubious  reference to amiga.org, i think  you misunderstood...)

Somehow, i think i now understand why it was ok for bbrv to insult quite a few of the regular Amiga.org visitors (nicely calling them 'morons').

Oh well... :-(

If the moderators missed something please foward it to the appropriate moderator. However I do believe you are mistaken. Everyone should/will be treated with respect.

I think we all known what i am talking about. But somehow, the topic got closed by request and misteriously dissapeared in the tons of other topics...

Amiga.org hasn't lost being neutral, it has just lost its neutrality (as was demonstrated with the example i talked about).

@Wayne

The reason for my cynicism, is purely that I have seen posts by BBRV and I guess you`ll censor every post that says anything negative about genesi, even if it is truthful or just someones personal opinion, because BBRV WON`T agreee to people criticising Pegasos/morphos/genesi etc on a site their paying advertising to....my fear is that this site is now nothing more than morphoszone2.org.

Can you guarantee that you will not "moderate" in the favour of BBRV?

I shouldn't have to, and I resent the implication.  If Bill McEwen ever came out from under his rock and deigned to post here, he would be afforded the same protection.  I have even taken steps to defend HMetal and AI lately in case you've missed it.

As I have stated, a lot of you are more pissed off because McEwen is NOT posting than you are because BBRV is.   Yes.  BBRV can be a handful, but like a lot of you, he doesn't like being attacked.  He is just very, very forthcoming at defending himself.

Thank you for pointing that out.  For the RECORD, and as a FACT, bbrv was asked -- by me -- at that time, to more carefully choose his words.  

Note: this was BEFORE we put hard and fast posting guidelines into place.  Nowadays, should such an action occur, you should tell a moderator who will either edit or remove the post as required.

You know that.  It's just easier today for people to point fingers and make up conspiracies than it is to accept what really happened.

@l8

I used to  wonder about AO descending into another morphos (lower case intended) zone, and even voiced my opinions about it.... but at the end of the day  i honestly believe the integrity of Wayne and  the moderators is very much intact......

Yeah bbrv can be a complete tosspot at times, but who gives a #### where the money comes from  as long as this site remains, as always.. completely impartial...

Eventually all this non-amiga rhetoric  from genesi and their disco aliens will evaporate , or be  relegated to the also rans of computer history.,... but if they want to spend their money on an 'AMIGA' portal... then let them... blind leading the blind, but hey we benefit!

I would be extremely suprised and astonished if the management here would sell out to  Genesi... if you ask me,  they have 50% on red and 50% on black....
