it's simple really. When you are sponsored, you are not neutral anymore. You know it, we all know it. And the more money they give, the less neutral you become.

You may pretend otherwise, but it just is the way it works, everywhere in the world.

You just sold the soul of Amiga.Org, the finest (until a few months ago) website there is/was.


My brain hurts from your comment. :)

So, Amiga.org had sold its "soul" to for example Elbox before, and every other company that has bought banner ads?

OMG! Microsoft has bought banners on Slashdot! And, as we all can see, now every story there praises MS and craps all over Linux! And the Linux zealots have all become MCSEs and are praising .Net! Yeah, right. :-P

Just stop it.

Anyway, it's nice with some GOOD news for a change. Congrats, Wayne and amiga.org! I hope there will be many more announcements like this.

So, in your opinion, he should let down all the offers
about banners and run the site for free, just for people
like you? If you don't like that fact that Genesi has
a banner here and you believe that the site will now
be biased, I'll ask you a question... Why wasn't it
biased when it was *HOSTED* by Amiga Inc.?
If you want a site that only hosts Amiga Inc news
and Amiga Inc related forums, try... www.amiga.com
and their forums...

That was not the point. I think it should not have been sponsored by either AInc or Genesi.

But i rest my case...it's not important really. I just don't like to be called a moron for showing my support to Hyperion. The fact that bbrv was allowed to insult a lot of visitors pissed me off...

"


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


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

Oh, ya.  That is right Commodore was spreading all kinds of FUD around about C64 :)

It was the best computer program of the 90s and it totally destroyed gamesmaster imo and Andy Crain made some wild comments about pirates which looking at them now are very laughable.

"CDs will stop the pirates"

"Pirated games are easy to spot"

"Pirates will never copy that"  :-D

As for Nam Rood he was brilliant and made the show a lot more enjoyable and Violet  still looks very attractive.

Before I start, can I please stress that I'm not trying to troll...?

I feel rather sorry that Genesi are sponsoring this site.

My reasons...

This is AMIGA.org - whay the hell aren't Amiga sponsoring it?

Like it or not, Genesi are, to a certain extent, parasitising someone else's market. It may be understandable - the vaious amigas have done nothing these last few years - but I don't like it, especially given that I know that the Amiga Inc people really do have their hearts in the right places  (but their feet in their mouths), and are (belatedly) heading in the right directiion.

MorphOS fanatics have taken down this site twice in the past. Whilst it's nice to see BBRV distancing themselves from this, it still (perhaps unfairly) leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Make of this what you will. I'm not really taking sides here...
